So, when she gets the chance to secure the long-hoped-for sequel to Sleighbells Under Starlight, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to make sure everything goes smoothly. Unfortunately, that includes claiming to have already gotten permission to film at the town’s historic Christmas House-permission she was very much denied by the mysterious new owner.
City boy Ves Hollins is only back in Piney Peaks long enough to sell the house he inherited from his great-aunt. The holidays have always been tough for Ves, and it’s not any easier when he’s distracted by memories of a Christmas long, long ago, and the irresistible charm of his new neighbour, Elisha.

_______________The brand new feel-good Christmas novel from Sunday Times top ten bestselling author, Jenny Colgan.
Carmen has always worked in her local department store. So, when the gorgeous old building closes its doors for good, she is more than a little lost.
When her sister, Sofia, mentions an opportunity in Edinburgh – a cute little bookshop, the spare room in her house – Carmen is reluctant, she was never very good at accepting help. But, short on options, she soon finds herself pulling into the snowy city just a month before Christmas.
What Sofia didn’t say is that the shop is on its last legs and that if Carmen can’t help turn things around before Christmas, the owner will be forced to sell. Privately, Sofia is sure it will take more than a miracle to save the store, but maybe this Christmas, Carmen might surprise them all…

Safety Measures: Dyslexic Font
Blaise NorthThe aftermath of my parent’s death was the toughest time in my life, but at least I had him. He was there every step of the way, wiped the tears I shed, and made me smile when I’d forgotten how to.
Until he became the reason why I had to protect my heart with one simple rule—no more kissing.
Six years later, because life had a great sense of humor, I found myself having to use that same rule on the man who inspired it.
It’s no surprise it didn’t work. After all, my heart was never my own to protect—it belonged to Ares Hart the entire time.

But what I hadn’t realized was that the key to keeping my promise was right next to me the entire time.
Blaise North gave my vow purpose, and when I was finally ready to make up for my mistakes, the unexpected happened.
