Snow is falling and festive lights are twinkling in beautiful Rowan Vale, the Cotswold living history village, where tourists mingle unknowingly with the ghosts of Christmas past...

When Clara first arrived in Rowan Vale to visit her boyfriend, Jack, she had no idea her life was about to change forever. Now, fifteen years later, she’s struggling to cope with hormonal changes and three boisterous sons.

After being a stay-at-home mum for years, Clara has an opportunity to start a new business and maybe find herself again. But when fate intervenes, all her hopes seem shattered - and her and Jack's relationship has never felt more precarious.

Meanwhile, at Harling Hall, tensions are rising between resident ghosts, Agnes and Aubrey. With the village hosting a Dickensian-themed weekend for Christmas, Victorian gentleman Aubrey is desperate to visit, but Agnes is adamant they mustn’t – but surely a little walk around the Christmas market wouldn’t hurt, would it?

While Aubrey prepares to defy Agnes, Clara’s secret is about to be revealed. She wasn’t entirely honest with Jack when she first arrived in Rowan Vale, and as the years passed, it seemed too late to come clean. But now she doesn’t have a choice…

With both relationships already under strain, the Christmas spirit has its work cut out, this festive season...

Fans of Heidi Swain, K. F. Breene and the BBC series Ghosts will love this blissfully heart-warming, Christmassy story.
