Second chances can be a gift when you’re brave enough to risk your heart …
Scarlett Reynold’s life in the city may be in tatters, but that doesn’t mean anyone needs to know. Especially when Christmas is her favourite time of year and it’s her first visit home to the small town of Point Perry in forever.
Ryan Black would recognise Scarlett anywhere, although apparently, she doesn’t remember him or their teenage summer romance. He’s fine with that because he hates Christmas and anyone who loves it so much isn’t meant for him.
But then Scarlett and Ryan are thrown together amidst preparations for the town’s annual Christmas festivities. The longer Scarlett is in town, the more reasons she’s finding to stay, and the harder it is for Ryan to deny their growing attraction.
When admitting your feelings means facing past pains, sometimes even love can’t overcome doubt and fear. But never underestimate the power of a little Christmas magic …
‘What a great story. I adore these characters and it was so clever how the familiar Point Perry names were weaved in without ever being a focus. It really felt like it was a familiar town that I knew and was just getting to know someone new! And Ryan was hot! I really loved their chemistry and how they knew each other already so could just get straight into lusting over each other.’
Carly Lukacs, ARC reader
‘Chemistry and banter with a splash of soul searching, rolled into romance giving me all the feels.’
Rachelle Cooke, The Book Tree Lounge
‘Beautiful. A sweet, feel-good story that had me in tears by the end of it. (Happy tears, just to be clear.) The story is very moving, and the sense of small-town community and Christmas festivity had me reminiscing about my own childhood. It is a quick read and one that was hard to put down.’
