Snuggle up by the fire with a steaming mug of hot chocolate and enjoy this heartwarming debut Christmas romance!

The Cotswolds village of Babblebrook is filled with the scent of hot chocolate and gingerbread this Christmas. Could love be in the air, too?

After leaving her cheating husband, Marnie needs a fresh start. With her thirteen-year-old daughter, Lauren, she moves back to her childhood village, Babblebrook. But her new neighbour, Andrew, might just be the rudest man Marnie has ever met. So why she can’t stop thinking about him?

Marnie throws herself into local the bakery, baking mince pies and spiced buns to help her old friends Pat and Matt. She spends her days dreaming of turning the bakery into a cozy café that will be the heart of the village, and finds herself unexpectedly drawn to gruff Andrew and his kind, reliable nature.

But when some unexpected visitors arrive in Babblebrook, Marnie is confronted with a choice – stick to what she knows, and the person she’s always been, or start putting herself first.

Marnie has spent her whole life taking care of everyone else. Is she ready to fight for her café dream, and admit that all she wants for Christmas is Andrew?

A gorgeous cozy winter romance to lose yourself in this Christmas.

Perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan, Sue Moorcroft, Sarah Morgan, Donna Ashworth and Lucy Coleman
