What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
She went home for Christmas…and found the love she thought she’d lost.
Curl up with this cosy Christmas romance bursting with twinkling lights, second chances and seasonal joy, from bestselling author Jenny Bayliss
When Fred returns home to her Scottish town she must confront her past and decide whether it can be a part of her future…
Fred Hallow-Hart isn't in love with the idea of returning home to Pine Bluff. But after a bad breakup and a subsequent eviction, she's fresh out of options.
Quickly roped in by her mother to help with the family Christmas cracker shop, Fred decides throwing herself into work might be for the best, especially when her ex-best-friend Ryan starts to give her butterflies she never expected.
But as Fred begins to hope for her heart, she's forced to confront some harsh truths, which, if she doesn't find a way through, might just ruin the holidays.
Can Fred let go of the past enough to recognise real love? And when she does, how far will she go to protect it?
Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Heidi Swain, Jo Thomas and Phillipa Ashley!
