One snowy village. Two guarded hearts. A Christmas they’ll never forget.

After a year of burying her heartbreak in endless work, Jessica Stewart returns to her childhood home in the Scottish village of Rowan Bay. She hopes the Christmas lights and familiar faces will help her rediscover the woman she used to be.

She doesn’t expect Reuben Campbell.

Once her brother’s infuriating best friend — the boy who teased her endlessly — Reuben is now a ruggedly handsome architect with an easy charm. And he’s suddenly everywhere Jessica turns.

As the village prepares for Christmas, Jessica and Reuben find themselves sharing frost-bitten walks, fairy-lit evenings and gingerbread house disasters. The spark between them is impossible to ignore and Reuben’s steady presence begins to melt the walls Jessica has spent so long building.

But Jessica came home to escape complications — and Reuben, for all his warmth, is hiding heartbreak and secrets of his own.

As Christmas approaches can two people with every reason to resist each other finally give in to a second chance neither saw coming?

My Thoughts:

Jessica has been through a lot so when she returns home, she hopes this will help her to revaluate her life and work out where to go from here. But when she sees a familiar face from the past in the form of her brothers best friend, she cant help but notice him in different eyes. As the pair start spending time together, Jessica wonders if this is her happy ever after. It is a light hearted and easy read. I felt sorry for Jessica at the start and then was hoping she would find her happiness. It is a predictable story but one I really fell in love with. A great Christmas read to snuggle up with.
