This story of adventure and romance is the perfect cozy Christmas read to curl up with this winter.Sylvie Magnusson is going to be lonely this Christmas. Instead of jetting off with fiancé Cole for their honeymoon in paradise, she’s freezing at home while trying to ignore everyone’s pity for "that poor jilted Ms Magnusson." Guess that’s what happens when your fiancé calls off the wedding with one week to go. Enter Nari, Sylvie’s best friend, who plans a trip to Lapland to see the Northern Lights and get Sylvie’s mojo back. But as their Lapland getaway approaches, Sylvie realizes she’ll be holidaying in the hometown of Stellan Virtanen, her dreamy Finnish ex-boyfriend, the one that got away (or...ran away, and Sylvie never understood why). When Stellan and Sylvie are reunited in the town of Frozen Falls, she’s delighted to see that he’s just as hot as she remembers–and when he shows her the romantic delights of Lapland, he becomes the perfect medicine for her broken heart. But as she prepares to fly back to England, can she really leave Stellan behind? Or will she find that her heart belongs in the frozen North?

Can she write her perfect love story?Austen Archer is on her dream solo bookselling holiday, the new 'borrower' at the Borrow-A-Bookshop in Devon's Clove Lore.

But as Patti and Austen grow closer, culminating in a magical day at the wildflower meadow, can Clove Lore work its customary magic and bring the two together?

The annual Wheaton gingerbread exhibit (a model village made of gingerbread) and grotto has been an important part of the sleepy Cotswold hamlet's Christmas celebrations for decades. For years the gingerbread exhibition drew visitors from across the region and each year the model town grew more elaborate and ambitious but recently, interest has been dwindling. The gingerbread grotto needs to be rehomed or close forever. Sixty-four-year-old Margi, the event's founder, has had enough of village life (and its total lack of eligible men) and is planning to sell up and head to Birmingham to live closer to her niece. She has lost her spark and her Christmas spirit and decides this will be her last gingerbread village, but despairs when she finds her only support is her old friend, Izzy, her niece Lucy from Birmingham, and Fern, the shy young farmer's daughter. Oh, and Patrick, the gorgeous, reliable school caretaker. As if this wasn't enough, Lucy is determined to get her out dating again and persuades her to try some online dating apps but Margi's had her heart broken too many times and wonders if she has just missed her chance.

The path of true love never did run smooth...did it?Kelsey Anderson is stuck in a rut so big, she'll need a 4-wheel drive to get out. She's just been made redundant from her dead-end job, and boyfriend Fran is so busy climbing up the career ladder that he's forgotten how to have fun. She needs to change her life - and fast. Stumbling across an advert for tour guides in Stratford-Upon-Avon seems like the perfect way to bring the sunshine back. In an impulsive move, she moves from her small Scottish village to Shakespeare's birthplace, armed only with a suitcase and her battered copy of Shakespeare's Sonnets. Kelsey quickly falls in love with the place, her job as a tourist guide allowing her to explore every inch of the picture-perfect town, from cosy cafes to the picturesque banks of the river. But it's not just the town that captures her heart, as she finds herself torn between the actors Will and Jonathan who both vie for her affections. But will beautiful Peony, the lead actress at the Oklahoma theatre company where Jonathan is playing Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream, play a role in keeping Kelsey and Jonathan apart?Or will flirtatious, charming Will, the fellow tour guide who has set his sights on Kelsey, keep the star-crossed lovers from finding their happy ending?A gorgeously uplifting, feel good romance that will captivate readers of Holly Martin, Cathy Bramley and Milly Johnson. Readers are loving One Summer's Night:'I absolutely loved this debut novel from Kiley Dunbar...I haven't enjoyed a book in this genre as much as this for a long time...I defy anyone not to be rooting for Kelsey and booking a mini-break to Stratford when they finish this book!
