About this ebook
WINNER OF THE RNA POPULAR ROMANTIC NOVEL AWARD 2023.
'Grab a hot chocolate and lose yourself in this heart-warming story of romance, community and secrets. The perfect story to read by the fire!' PHILLIPPA ASHLEY
‘Brimming with warmth and Christmas cheer’ SARAH MORGAN
When Paige turns up unannounced at Wynthorpe Hall, she discovers the place she knew when she was growing up has changed beyond all recognition. She’s only planning to stay for a short time, but is quickly pulled into local life.
One night while driving home after delivering library books and shopping to residents she stumbles across an isolated cottage and meets Albert, its elderly and rather grumpy owner. She quickly realises there’s more to Albert than meets the eye and the same can be said for the other man she can’t seem to help running into, handsome but brooding Brodie.
All three of them have a secret and a desire to hide away from the world, but with Christmas on the horizon, is that really the best way to celebrate the season?
‘With just as much sparkle as the tinsel on the tree. Heidi’s writing sweeps us into a stunning festive winter wonderland…’ My Weekly

I have read Heidi Swain's novels before, and I know that she tends towards the schmaltzy, but this was too saccharine even for me. Grumpy old men who just want a young woman to solve their problems, tortured artists who need a muse, irritating relatives, ridiculously OTT Christmas wonderlands which in real life would take nine months to plan. All too unrealistic for me. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Whenever I read one of Heidi's books, I feel like a voyeur and get totally involved. I would like to live in Wynbridge. Thank you for another beautiful visit - I hope there are some more stories to come.

A lovely festive story with lots of changes, laughs, dramas and a few secrets, but of course a lovely happy ending. Very enjoyable.
