‘If you like Hallmark movies, you will love this.’ 5 star reader review

It’s the most wonderful time of year . . . to fall in love.

Rose Aldridge was not expecting to be working the festive period in a pop-up Christmas shop. She wasn’t expecting to be offered a job by a handsome, brooding Scotsman either!

Alastair Duncan hates Christmas. His wife left him and his daughter on Christmas Eve. Now his family have announced they are coming to stay at his sprawling Scottish estate. He needs help planning the perfect Christmas. When he meets Rose, looking fed-up selling tinsel and baubles, he offers her the job. To his surprise she accepts.

Rose wastes no time Christmas-tree shopping and party planning. Before long the Duncan family estate is a mass of ribbons, presents and twinkling lights — even the family goat, Houdini, gets into the festive spirit!

But the more time Rose spends with the Duncan family, especially Alastair’s 12-year-old daughter, Isla, the more Alastair sees how perfectly she fits in . . . and the ice around his heart begins to thaw.

As Christmas Eve approaches, and Rose is due to return home, it’s time for the Christmas magic to weave its spell . . .
