Don't miss the brand-new small-town Christmas romance from the bestselling author of The Christmas Invitation and Twelve Days of Christmas, the perfect cosy festive read to curl up with over the holidays!
Ginny Spain usually loves Christmas: wrapping up warm by a cosy fire, putting twinkling lights on the tree… But after breaking up with her ex, her festive spirit has deserted her. This year, she plans to hide away and spend the holiday alone.
Her formidable mother, Evie, has other ideas. Dragging Ginny out of isolation, Evie takes her to an artist and writers retreat at Triskelion, a remote old house in the tiny coastal village of Little Star, determined to uncover the secrets of an ancestor who once lived there.
Triskelion is now home to rugged Rhys Tarn and his ten-year-old daughter – and Ginny is in for a shock when she discovers Rhys and her share an unexpected connection.
Before Twelfth Night, and with the help of Rhys, can Ginny unlock her past and bring back her Christmas cheer?
