Blurb

Fleeing her heartache and horrendous job, Bella stumbles upon a December wedding in the beautiful village of Haileybrook and the spirit of the season moves her to act as a fake date to handsome stranger Jack.

Jack and Bella hit it off, but Bella has to leave in a hurry and their magical evening soon becomes nothing more than a blissful memory.

A year later, Bella is returning to Haileybrook, seeking a fresh start and a quieter life. With a new job close to her cosy cottage home, a peaceful Christmas is surely only days away.

But it’s not long before family surprises, small-town feuds and romantic drama disrupt Bella’s plans, and she has to wonder if being alone is what she really wants for Christmas …

This cosy, uplifting festive romance is perfect for fans of Hallmark Christmas movies and authors such as Sarah Morgan, Phillipa Ashley and Sue Moorcroft.

My Review I had this in my final round of BBNYA and I thoroughly loved it. Its so far from my usual taste and genre. But it was so well written and grabbed my interest immediately that I was whisked away into this quaint village and whirled into a captivating love story. I gave this 5 out of 5 as I was so impressed with it’s ability to lure me from crime and fantasy so effectively. Fall in love with Bella and the life she creates in this village, you won’t be disappointed.
