What I love about Christmas is that it’s the time of the year when anything feels possible. Need a miracle? Then close your eyes and make a wish. Who knows, it might just come true. Christmas is the time when we go above and beyond, when we dare to take risks. Maybe it’s because at Christmastime we take stock of what we value most in our lives…and if something is missing, then maybe it’s time to fight for it. Christmas romances are my addiction of choice. Everything matters more at Christmas, and that makes a Christmas romance all that’s best of what’s merry and bright.

But when Henry comes to the rescue and drives Bea to Scotland for an interview for her dream job, she’s forced to rethink all she’d thought she knew about him. This story is a rollercoaster of a ride—funny, quirky, and sweet. Bea’s emotional arc is a thing of beauty. The perfect snowy, slow-burn romance for Christmas.
