What to expect
Swoon over this romantic feel-good read from the bestselling author of Maybe This Christmas?
Life in Little Leyton is never quiet, and when handsome developer Max and his bride-to-be Ellie receive some sad news, he decides to whisk her away for a romantic break.
The time away gives Ellie a new perspective, and she's eager to get home to get on with planning their wedding. But a devastating incident at the pub she runs, the Dog & Duck, puts everything in jeopardy. And at their home, tensions are heightened when Ellie's future mother-in-law turns up with all her worldly belongings, much to Max's sister Katy’s despair.
With Max preoccupied with problems at work, Ellie's left literally holding the baby while dealing with a seemingly endless list of dramas. And as Christmas approaches, Ellie begins to wonder if she'll ever get her happily ever after...
Join Jill Steeples for this heart-warming conclusion to the Dog & Duck series that will have you believing in happily ever afters. Perfect for fans of Jessica Redland, Cathy Bramley and Miranda Dickinson.
