A jaded New Yorker gives a Christmas-loving Brit twelve dates to change her mind about the holidays—and love—in this charming full-length romance in advent calendar form, featuring 24 sealed chapters for a celebratory seasonal countdown!
This stunning hardcover features:
• 24 sealed and perforated chapters
• A deluxe cover with gold foil
• Full-color designed endpapers
• An icy turquoise ribbon marker
A love story waiting to be unwrapped
When burnt-out New York journalist Evie McClane escapes to London for December, she’s determined to keep her heart and her expectations firmly guarded. Christmas is the last thing she wants to celebrate, especially after a breakup that’s left her cynical.
Then she meets Jake Frost: charming, teasingly confident, and dangerously good at getting under her skin. He makes her laugh. Looks far too good in a tailored coat. And is convinced he can change her mind about Christmas, one date at a time.
What begins as a chance encounter turns into a deal: twelve dates to prove that Christmas, and maybe love, are still worth believing in. Ice skating under fairy lights. Mulled wine in candlelit pubs. Late-night walks and lingering touches, each date tempting Evie to open up just a little more.
As the days tick by, the chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore. But with Christmas ending and an ocean between their lives, Evie must decide whether this was just a holiday fling… or something worth risking her heart for.
