Libby Cooper hasn’t celebrated Christmas since the night her parents died in a terrible accident. She wants to forget that the season of goodwill even exists; but her grandmother has other ideas. It’s time for Libby to start living her life just as her parents would have wanted her to do. First stop New York! What better way to immerse herself in the celebrations, than working in her great aunt’s Christmas shop, just a few blocks from Central Park? Making new friends in the Big Apple is the easy bit, but leaving the past behind proves much harder than Libby imagined.

Story
I’ve fallen in love with a man called Sam. And he’s perfect, just perfect. It’s a whirlwind romance. And when our dream home falls through just before our wedding, we decide to move in with his parents. He says his mother, Evelyn, is the sweetest person. But I’m not so sure. She’s obsessively protective over Sam. She wants to know where he is all the time. She wakes us up in the morning, bustling into our room like he’s a small child, not a grown man. She doesn’t want me to be alone with him.

Story
When Freya first met Phil, she thought he was the man of her dreams. He bought her roses every week, booked surprise trips to sun-soaked destinations, and showed her affection like she’d never experienced before. But over time the dream had become a violent nightmare. And now Freya is packing her bags, knowing it’s time she escaped their increasingly broken marriage. But then Freya gets a visit from the police. Phil’s been in a horrific car crash and - as he comes around - it becomes clear that he remembers nothing since their blissful honeymoon two years before.

Snowy rooftops, mulled wine, and a hot single dad. Not the Christmas Saffy wished for... but maybe the one she needs? Twenty-nine year old Saffron Baxter knew her holiday plans didn’t stand a chance the moment her sister called to say she was stuck abroad with no hope of being home before Christmas. Saffy would just have to abandon thoughts of wild festive parties in the city and head down to remote Cornwall. Because every year her sister hosts a huge Christmas meal for all the single parents in her village. And Saffy knows it’d break her heart to let them down.

Publisher's Summary
What if – to find yourself – you had to run away?
Last year was meant to be when Holly got her happy-ever-after. But stuck in a job that’s going nowhere, and a relationship that feels more like it’s going backwards... this year Holly has decided it’s time to change her life. She just has to:
- End the relationship with the commitment-phobic boyfriend.
- Go on a proper adventure.
- Learn to be herself again.
- Definitely, categorically not fall in love.
Cramming her belongings into her little yellow Mini, Holly drives to Spain to stay near a beautiful village in the Andalusian hills. But the day she arrives she nearly crashes her car into the gorgeous Matias on a motorbike. Much to Holly's irritation, their paths keep crossing.
As she starts to learn Spanish from the locals, lays plans for her design business, and sips sangria in the sunlit village square, Holly begins to remember who she is and what she wants.
So she won’t allow herself be distracted by Matias. Because this year, there are more important things in life than love. And she won’t let yet another bad relationship ruin everything... will she?
A moving and uplifting romantic comedy about living each moment and learning to trust yourself again.
For fans of Jenny Hale, Debbie Macomber, and Sophie Kinsella.
