What to expect

A gorgeous, feel-good romance from the top 10 bestselling author Jo Bartlett!

Perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan, Eliza J. Scott and Jessica Redland ❄️💕

It's the most wonderful time of the year...isn't it?

Emily Anderson adores romance—both in books and in real life (though her own love life is more ‘tragic subplot’ than ‘happily-ever-after’). As an audiobook narrator, she spends her days bringing love stories to life, convinced that one day, her own perfect romance will come true.

Jude Cavendish thinks romance is a fairy tale for fools. A crime author with a serious case of writer’s block, he’s horrified when his publisher asks him to add a love story to his latest novel. He knows murders, mysteries, and mayhem—not grand gestures and stolen kisses.

Desperate for help, Jude reluctantly turns to Emily, whose sunshine personality is the complete opposite of his grumpy cynicism. She’s determined to show him that love is more than just fiction, and he’s determined to prove her wrong. But as Christmas magic sparkles over the Cornish coast, Jude starts to wonder… what if Emily’s right?

Could the festive season bring them both the plot twist they never saw coming?

Another brilliantly emotional and uplifting read guaranteed to have you laughing and reaching for the tissues. Perfect for fans of Jessica Redland, Holly Martin and Heidi Swain.
