'All the lovely festive feels with a delectable romance and delicious food thrown in - bliss!' - Celia Anderson

Every book in the Brambleton series can be read as a standalone. Previously published as Could It Be Magic?

Thea Ashcombe, a fiercely independent single mum, is about to face her toughest challenge yet: Christmas on a shoestring. As the festive season looms, Thea’s feeling a little like their old family Christmas tree - tired and lacking in sparkle!

Nick Saint, the quiet and devoted farm shop manager in the idyllic village of Lower Brambleton, has secretly liked Thea for years. Trapped in the friend zone since high school, he's given up hope of Thea seeing him as anything more than reliable ‘Saint’ Nick...

But when Thea steps into Nick's world to help at the bustling farm shop, something unexpected happens. Suddenly, her sensible head is spinning with a schoolgirl crush she never saw coming! Is it just the enchanting glow of Christmas, the twinkling lights playing tricks on her mind?

As they work side-by-side preparing for the magical Christmas market, and as Nick's thoughtful gestures – like a perfectly fresh Christmas tree appearing at her door – begin to melt her defences, Thea starts to wonder – maybe all she really needs for Christmas... is Nick! ✨

Prepare for a heartwarming and enchanting tale of unexpected romance, festive magic, and the surprising ways love can blossom when you least expect it! 💖✨

A very delightful and captivating story of friends to lovers. The sweetness of Thea and Nick is so enjoyable as you read about the coming together of long time friends into a love relationship that Neck has desired since they were teens. Even with external and internal problems, their love grows. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Talk about timing! It's like it's meant to be only when it's time to act on long-time desires, and not earlier. SMH!
