I'll Be Home for Christmas




A brand new festive romance set in the Scottish highlands perfect for readers who love Sarah Morgan, Heidi Swain and Jo Thomas!

Fred Hallow-Hart isn't in love with the idea of returning home to Pine Bluff. But after a bad breakup and a subsequent eviction, she's fresh out of options.

Quickly roped in by her mother to help with the family Christmas cracker shop, Fred decides throwing herself into work might be for the best, especially when her ex-best-friend Ryan starts to give her butterflies she never expected.

But as Fred begins to hope for her heart, she's forced to confront some harsh truths, which, if she doesn't find a way through, might just ruin the holidays.

Can Fred let go of the past enough to recognise real love? And when she does, how far will she go to protect it?
