What to expect
Open a chapter a day and find out if Evie and Jake find love this Christmas
Tropes
Forced proximity
Opposites attract
Holiday romance
When burnt-out New York journalist Evie McClane escapes to London for December, she’s determined to keep her heart and her expectations firmly guarded. Christmas is the last thing she wants to celebrate, especially after a breakup that’s left her cynical about all things love.
Then she meets Jake Frost: charming, teasingly confident and dangerously beautiful.
He makes her laugh. Looks far too good in a tailored coat. And is convinced he can change her mind about Christmas, one date at a time.
What begins as a chance encounter turns into a deal: twelve dates to prove that Christmas, London and maybe love, are still worth believing in. Ice skating under fairy lights. Mulled wine in candlelit pubs. Late-night walks and lingering touches, each one tempting her to open up just a little more.
As the days tick by, the chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore. But with Christmas ending and an ocean between their lives, Evie must decide whether this was just a December flirtation… or something worth risking her heart for.
A love story waiting to be unwrapped, that will warm your heart and set it racing this December
