* The new novel from the bestselling author of This Christmas and Maybe Next Christmas ***

Lou Bryne can't wait for Christmas. She loves the winter magic that transforms her small Irish town. But she still wistfully remembers the enchanting Christmas Eve parties at Ballyheaney House, the home of her first love, Ben. It's been years since they stopped, since Ben left.

This year, Ben is back. Now widowed, he and his young daughter are determined to revive the legendary celebration. But with only two weeks to make it happen, they need help. So Ben turns to the one woman he could never forget: Lou.

As the days tick down to another Christmas Eve together, old feelings and memories resurface. Will Lou and Ben seize this chance to rewrite their very own love story?
