Beschreibung

In a hilarious skewering of intellectual pretension, a group of society ladies forms a lunch club to discuss deep cultural topics they barely understand. Their superficial posturing is disrupted by a visiting author and the mysterious topic of "Xingu," leading to a comedy of errors. The desire to appear learned clashes with the fear of being exposed, resulting in a witty unraveling of social masks. This satire is a delightful reminder that sometimes the emperor truly has no clothes.

    It’s the most wonderful time of the year in the gorgeously festive seaside town of Lovegrove Bay, where the snow is sparkling, hot chocolate is flowing and romance is about to set hearts on fire. From multi-million bestselling author Holly Martin comes the hottest love story this Christmas. 
    For the longest time love has been complicated for Alex Campbell. After she lost her husband Liam in a tragic accident, she’s devoted herself to raising their daughter Zara alone. Falling in love again felt impossible, until she met Liam’s brother Quinn… 
    Not only is Quinn a handsome, talented artist, he’s been there for Alex and Zara every day since they met, even moving to beautiful Lovegrove Bay to be close to them. But while falling for your dead husband’s brother is less than ideal, she’s convinced he doesn’t feel that way about her. Which is just as well because Alex has a secret, a guilt she’s carried for years, a truth about the night Liam died that she’s been too scared to tell anyone, most of all Quinn. 
    So when the pull of mistletoe and the magic of the festive season prompt Alex to finally dip her toe back into the dating world, the last person she expects to be against it is Quinn. Could he have feelings for her too? And could they even be together if he does? Alex doesn’t have the answers but if she can find the courage to take a chance on love maybe all her Christmas wishes will come true… 
    Curl up and fall head-over-heels with this deliciously romantic holiday tale, perfect for fans of Jill Mansell, Sarah Morgan and Sue Moorcroft.

She has resigned herself to spinsterhood, caring for her ailing mother in the home of her grandfather, known to the locals as "General Contrary." When her dear friend dies and leaves behind a daughter, it's simple enough to take the child into her own quiet world. That is, until her ward's famous uncle unexpectedly arrives and throws Theo's tidy orbit completely off-kilter.

Unfortunately, marriage is simply not in the cards; the army is spouse enough for him. 
     
     
     
    Then an accident and a scandal lead both Theo and Daniel to discover that their best-laid plans may not have been what God designed for them after all.
