Escape to the snowy coast this Christmas with a warm festive read to melt your heart.
'Like a big festive hug — warm, funny and oh so romantic' — Holly Martin
It has taken Harriet years to get over the love of her life, but finally she has a dependable boyfriend, a secure job and a decent flat. As long as her thoughts never stray to Mack — the one who got away — she knows that life is good.
But when her beloved grandmother dies just before Christmas, Harriet drops everything to fly back to her childhood home: a white clapboard house nestled among the snow-covered beaches of the Hamptons, Long Island, USA.
Even in her grief, Harriet is determined to give her Grandpa and his neighbours a Christmas to remember. But her world is turned upside down when she sees Mack for the first time, and he begs her to give him a second chance…
Can Harriet forgive Mack and let him mend her broken heart? Or should she return to the safe life she came from?
