Welcome to Freezy Tye - voted Britain's Most Christmassy Village seven years in a row.�Best friends since university, Keeley and Grace first bonded over their love of nineteenth century romance classics, but life has taken them in different directions. While Keeley became the top curator at Juniper Cottage, home of forgotten author Eliza Norton, Grace settled into family life and now faces an empty nest with her son leaving for Australia.�When Grace takes a part-time job at winter wonderland shop Santa's Secret, she soon starts clashing with the owner's grumpy son, Raff. Meanwhile, Keeley is horrified when brash social media expert Xander Jones is brought in to modernise Eliza's legacy. Determined to resist his ideas, she instead finds herself unexpectedly drawn to him.�As December nears, Freezy Tye competes to retain its Christmas title. But with serious competition from a neighbouring village, and heartache dragging them down, Keeley and Grace find their festive spirit is in short supply. Can they all find a way to pull together and deliver a festive season to remember.�PRAISE FOR HOLLY HEPBURN`Heartwarming and gloriously romantic' HEIDI SWAIN�`Perfect to curl up with on sunny days or cold winter nights' CRESSIDA McLAUGHLIN`I devoured this gorgeous book as quickly as a tin of Scottish shortbread' VERONICA HENRY
