What to expect
An enemies to lovers, grumpy sunshine, romantice comedy from bestselling author Rachel Dove
It's the most wonderful time of the year...isn't it?
Summer Hastings HATES Christmas. She loves sunshine, the beach and sending people off to their dream destinations – even if she doesn’t get to see the world for herself. For Summer, Christmas sucks!
So, when handsome and charming Noel Pritchett moves his pop-up Christmas shop into the store next to hers, Summer wishes she worked anywhere but next door to Mr Christmas.
But Noel loves Christmas and his enthusiasm for the festive season is infectious. If only he could break through the anti-Christmas armour Summer has surrounded herself with, he’s sure he could convince her that it really is the most wonderful time of the year!
