Mince pies. Gingerbread snowmen. Choose your favourite Christmas treat, grab a blanket and settle in with this heartwarming cosy romance.

Lucy Wilson built the First Sip coffee shop in Castle Cove from nothing. She loves every mismatched chair, every cosy corner, every friendly face that comes through the door.

The one thing she doesn’t love is Dylan Benjamin. Charming, cocky, and far too sure he can fix everything. He’s the last person Lucy would ask for help.

Then her landlord decides to sell the building. Her business and her home will be gone by spring. And Dylan is standing right there when she reads the letter.

He offers to help her buy it. And he refuses to be a silent partner.

Forced to work together, Lucy sees a different side to Dylan and begins to wonder if she’s been wrong about the man who drives her mad. Especially when she discovers the secret behind the night they both refuse to talk about.

It's Christmas in Castle Cove. The tree is going up on the High Street, the choir is singing and the café is filled with gingerbread lattes, mince pies and unexpected second chances.

Dylan has proposed twice. Lucy has said no twice.

But with Christmas Eve approaching, she’s running out of reasons to say no again.

A warm, funny, feel-good Christmas romance set in a Cornish seaside town, with a guaranteed happy ending. Perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan, Cressy McLaughlin, Donna Ashcroft, Heidi Swain and Sarah Morgan.
