Snow is falling on Little Newdale; decorations are being hung and joy is in the air. But at Red Robin Cottage, Sarah is feeling far from merry and bright.
Since her marriage went up in flames like a Christmas pudding, there's nothing Sarah Dunne wants more than a peaceful festive season filled with carols and mince pies. But Sarah's teenage daughter Ellie is feeling the winter blues, faced with spending the holiday without her father.
Desperate to bring home some seasonal cheer and make this a Christmas to remember for Ellie, Sarah follows the trail of fairy lights into the snow-covered village. Among the holiday crowds she finds herself gazing into the soft brown eyes of a handsome stranger whose smile is startlingly familiar. It couldn't really be her childhood sweetheart, Luke, could it?
Even though he moved half a world away nineteen years ago, as they bond over hot chocolate and tales of traumatic break-ups it's clear time hasn't changed Luke's effortless charm. And when he saves Sarah from a wardrobe malfunction at a Christmas party, it's not just the mulled wine warming her heart. But she can't let herself fall in love again. Especially as Luke isn't here to stay.
Then Ellie reveals she's been keeping a BIG secret about Sarah's ex. Reeling, Sarah longs to turn to Luke for comfort. But will that put her already fragile relationship with her daughter at risk, and chase Luke away even faster? Or will opening her heart mean Sarah gets her wish for a magical Christmas after all?
Grab a blanket and a mug of cocoa and curl up by the fire with this completely addictive festive romance. Fans of Cathy Bramley, Phillipa Ashley and Heidi Swain will love this charming, feel-good holiday read that proves you don't need the perfect family to have a perfect Christmas!
