Discover the healing power of Christmas and community in this charming, feel-good second chance romance, perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan & Milly Johnson *** Will love be on the menu this Christmas?

The snow-dusted village of Tilldale comes alive at Christmas. Twinkling lights and carol singers make it the perfect setting for laughter, friendship, and the unexpected joys of the festive season.

But heartbroken Cath doesn't feel like she is sparkling. Finding herself falling for Will, a widowed former firefighter with whom she shares a history, Cath had been hoping for their budding romance to bloom. But with Will still caught in the depths of his grief, could this relationship be star-crossed before it even begins ...

Determined to bring some happiness to herself and to the community, Cath decides to hold a village Christmas lunch, and with a little help from her supper club friends, brings everyone together.

But whilst they warm the hearts of their neighbours, can Cath and Will find their way back to each other during the most magical time of the year ...?
