Just for Christmas - Scarlett Bailey

The perfect festive romance to curl up with this Autumn...

Can a Christmas escape mend a broken heart?

When Alex Munro learns that the love of her life is getting married to another woman, all she wants to do is get as far away from her hometown as possible.

So she moves to a cosy Cornish cottage, which seems to come complete with the world's scruffiest dog. She also finds that the whole village is determined to get her involved in the holiday festivities despite her wanting to be alone.

But when she meets handsome neighbour Ruan, Alex realises she doesn't want to spend Christmas by herself after all. Although, after being left heartbroken by his ex-fiance, Ruan has no intention of letting anyone get close to him again...

A fun, festive romantic comedy to curl up with this winter. If you love Jenny Colgan, Josie Silver and Veronica Henry you'll love this heartwarming Christmas read.
