Curl up with the BRAND NEW cosy page-turner from MILLION COPY BESTSELLER Jessica Redland and enjoy a festive treat! 📚 Must-read for fans of Trisha Ashley, Sarah Hope and Phillipa Ashley!It's the most wonderful time of the year at Bay Books, and a new love story is being written in the stars ✨
Nestled amongst the comforting shelves of her beloved Bay Books, Lily Appleton finds the peace and quiet she needs. But with Christmas just around the corner, Lily has to find an extra pair of hands to help her share the bookish magic.
After selling his business, Lars Jóhannsson is feeling lost. A job at Bay Books would give him the space he needs to contemplate his next move, but returning would mean confronting a painful past he's been avoiding. He's also fairly sure he's the one person Lily would never want to see again.
Lily is torn. Lars could be the perfect fit for Bay Books, but he once rejected her friendship and the hurt still lingers. But working together, Lily discovers a vulnerability that Lars has kept hidden away, along with a few surprising secrets. And as the Christmas season sprinkles its magic, Lily discovers the warmth of renewed friendship and the joy of heartwarming traditions from Lars's Icelandic roots.
Surrounded by the quiet magic of the season and the soft glow of festive lights, perhaps there's even the possibility of finding a love as enchanting as the Northern Lights on a winter's night.
