This feel-good box set of three utterly perfect festive novellas is perfect for fans of Marian Keyes, Jessica Redland and Sophie Kinsella.

IN THE THREE-BOOK CHRISTMAS TREATS BOX SET:

BOOK 1: THE ART OF CHRISTMAS
It’s been nearly two years since Harriet unexpectedly lost her husband Jonno, but she’s decided that it’s finally time to celebrate Christmas again. Then Harriet comes across Jonno’s graphic novels in the attic and takes them to an eccentric local dealer, Kell Foxton. What he tells her about the books turns her world upside down and leads her to question everything she knew about Jonno. As she grows closer to Kell, Harriet begins to suspect there may be a way to learn to love Christmas again and move forward, after all . . .

BOOK 2: THE BOYS OF CHRISTMAS
Mattie Arden is still reeling from the toxic relationship she’s escaped. So when she receives a letter in the run up to Christmas, informing her she’s inherited a house from her great aunt, it’s a welcome distraction. But there’s a catch — she only gets the house if she follows Aunt Milly’s instructions to scatter her ashes over ‘the boys of Christmas’. Completely confused, Mattie takes her best friend Toby to a seaside village and they end up snowed in for Christmas. But Mattie soon realizes that several clues to her future have been right in front of her this whole time . . .

BOOK 3: CHRISTMAS AT THE LITTLE VILLAGE SCHOOL
Teacher Lydia is most definitely not full of Christmas spirit. It’s going to be a tricky term when she’s tasked with putting on a Christmas show with the pupils from her small Yorkshire school for the local elderly people’s home. The only distraction from choreographing sugar plum dance routines and reindeer costume malfunctions is her dishy colleague Jake. Even as a teacher, she’s still being taught a couple of lessons. And one might be in opening her heart to Christmas . . . or the impossible: love. But what better time for a miracle than Christmas?
