This Christmas Molly Cooper is about to take the journey of a lifetime.

For five years, Molly has played it safe. A tiny flat with a door that sticks. A cat called Paul Hollywood. A job baking cakes in Joe's Café, opposite the registry office where everyone else seems to find their happily-ever-after.

Everyone except her.

Then there's Joe. Her best friend. The man who knows her better than anyone else . . . except how she really feels about him.

Then on November 30th Molly gets on the wrong bus.

The Christmas Wedding Bus. Bright red, with a giant white bow on the bonnet, run by the impossibly charming Archie Woods, who offers Molly a chance to bake for weddings, all the way to Christmas.

Twenty-six days. One unexpected journey. And every stop brings Molly face to face with her past. The dreams she abandoned, the mistakes she regrets and the heartbreak she thought she’d left behind.

Because sometimes the road you never meant to take leads exactly where you’re meant to be.

And this Christmas Molly must decide if she’s brave enough to finally fight for the love she’s always wanted?

A warm, funny, London-set, friends-to-lovers Christmas romance about second chances at any age, for readers of Sue Moorcroft, Susan Mallery, Jenny Colgan, Jessica Redland and Heidi Swain.
