I absolutely loved this book!Heart-warming, romantic and so beautiful. I was hooked.” NetGalley reviewer,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Two exes. One gingerbread contest. And a little pinch of Christmas magic…

Snow dusts food critic Ruby’s hair as she gazes round the market square of the village where she grew up. The little bakery, where she first fell in love with cooking. The red brick library, where she spent many happy hours reading in the armchair by the window.

Everywhere is decorated and ready for the holidays: lights in every window, wreaths on every door. But for Ruby, things just got more complicated. She’s in town for the annual gingerbread baking contest, and she just found out that her fellow judge is the very last person she wanted to run into: her ex-boyfriend Nathan.

When Ruby left Brindleford broken-hearted all those years ago, she was certain it was the right thing to do. But the more time she spends with Nathan, with his warm brown eyes and smile that makes her stomach flip, it’s getting harder to remember all the reasons she left…

But then, a fresh snowfall traps her in the village. As the fairy lights twinkle and carollers sing, she can’t seem to escape Nathan, and she starts to wonder… Is the magic of Christmas giving them a second chance? And when the snow clears, and they have to say goodbye, will she be able to walk away for the second time?

Grab a blanket and curl up by the fire with this completely addictive and absolutely gorgeous slow-burn festive romance. Fans of Sarah Morgan, Tracy Rees and Heidi Swain will love it!
