The heart-warming and uplifting festive escape from the million-copy Sunday Times bestselling author Phillipa Ashley
ESCAPE TO THE LAKE DISTRICT THIS CHRISTMAS FOR SNOWY WALKS, CRACKLING FIRES AND AN UNEXPECTED SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE...
After a life-changing accident, Katie's plan for Christmas is simple: rent a spectacular island house in the Lake District, gather the people she loves, and enjoy snowy walks, crackling fires and the promise of a fresh start.
What she doesn't plan on?
Her ex-boyfriend turning up.
Still reeling from their break-up, Katie isn't sure whether seeing him again will bring closure or reopen old wounds. Especially when she finds herself drawn to Arlo, the handsome owner of the island house, who is keeping his heart carefully guarded.
As Christmas approaches, old feelings resurface and new sparks begin to fly. Katie must decide whether to give the past one more chance, or open her heart to a love she never expected.
THIS CHRISTMAS, WILL KATIE RETURN TO THE LOVE SHE LEFT BEHIND . . . OR FIND THE COURAGE TO BEGIN AGAIN?
