Curl up this holiday season with a hot chocolate, a warm fire and a perfectly magical Christmas romance!❄️🎄

A snowbound village. A cosy inn worth fighting for. And a Christmas that could change everything.

Three years ago, Lily Thomas came to Rowan Bay looking for a fresh start. She found it at a cosy inn on the shores of Loch Lomond — and made it the heart of the village.

Now the owners are selling to a faceless hotel chain, and Lily has until New Year to save the place she finally calls home.

Luckily, she knows exactly who to ask.

Hamish Galbraith runs the village whisky distillery, volunteers with mountain rescue, and is currently dog-sitting a Labrador called Kevin. He's also been Lily's closest friend since the day she arrived.

Which is precisely why she’s tried so hard not to fall for him.

But as snow blankets Rowan Bay and Christmas markets, festive afternoon teas and a very special whisky launch bring Lily and Hamish closer, friendship starts to feel dangerously like love.

Then a face from Lily’s past walks through the inn door — threatening everything she’s built.

With Christmas approaching and the whole village behind her, can Lily fight for the home she's built . . . and finally trust her heart?

This small-town, Scottish, Christmas romance is perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Julie Caplin, Cressida McLaughlin, Donna Ashcroft, Mandy Baggot, Jenny Colgan and anyone who curls up with a Hallmark film!
