A short break can become the holiday of a lifetime . . .
From the bestselling author of THE BEACH HUT
In a gorgeous quay-side hotel in Cornwall, the long weekend is just beginning . . .
Claire Marlowe owns 'The Townhouse by the Sea' with Luca, the hotel's charismatic chef. She ensures everything runs smoothly - until an unexpected arrival checks in and turns her whole world upside down.
And the rest of the guests arrive with their own baggage. There's a couple looking for distraction from a family tragedy; a man trying to make amends for an affair he bitterly regrets . . . and the young woman who thinks the Cornish village might hold the key to her past.
Here are affairs of the heart, secrets, lies and scandal - all wrapped up in one long, hot weekend.
Fall in love this Christmas with Sunday Times bestselling author Veronica Henry's delightfully heartwarming festive read...
'Utterly heartwarming' JENNY COLGANIt's going to take a Christmas miracle...
Emilia promised her father that she would keep the doors of his beloved bookshop, Nightingale Books, open after he passed away - but she's down to her last few pennies.
It would break Emilia's heart to shut up shop, especially when the villagers have become like family to her (and have more stories to tell than the books on the shelves!). Lady of the manor, Sarah, is definitely keeping a secret, single dad Jackson is always on the hunt for a new story for his son, and she's sure that shy chef Thomasina has a crush on a man she met in the cookery section...
Yet with only a few weeks until Christmas, Emilia knows that she has her work cut out if she's to save her family legacy - will she find a way to restore it to its former glory, before it's too late?
