On the tiny Scottish island of Mure, Christmas preparations are even more hectic than usual . . .
Flora MacKenzie is worried about her brother. Fintan hasn't got over the death of his partner, Colton, and Flora thinks he needs a project.
The Rock - the rambling, disused hotel on the tip of the island - was Colton's passion project before he died. With Flora's help, Fintan is going to get the hotel up and running in time for Christmas, transforming it into a festive haven of crackling log fires and delicious food. But running a hotel, they are about to discover, is not that easy. Especially when their motley staff includes a temperamental French chef, a spoilt Norwegian kitchen boy who can't peel a potato without mutilating his own hand and a painfully shy kitchen assistant who blushes when anyone speaks to her.
Can they pull it together in time for the big opening?
And can Flora help her family find happiness this Christmas?

Let me start by saying that stories set at Christmas are almost always going to be a winner for me. Christmas festivities, good food, open fires and snuggly blankets are my idea of heaven. So, when I went off on my jollies back to Mure, which let's face it, is almost at the end of the world and guaranteed to be freezing cold, I was beyond excited. Sadly, in this book, life isn't all sunshine and roses for some of the residents of Mure.
