What to expect
Ellie Browne, landlady of the Dog & Duck, is looking forward to a relaxing Christmas Day before the arrival of her and Max’s baby in the new year.
But with a snowstorm brewing outside, it seems that things might not go quite to plan. After the dramatic events of the holiday season, Ellie settles into her new life at Max's huge country mansion, Braithwaite Manor, juggling work and family as best she can.
When she's asked to help organise a summer wedding for one of her best friends it's only natural that her mind turns to her own non-existent wedding plans! But with Max decidedly lukewarm on the subject and other family complications threatening to disrupt life further, Ellie fears there'll never be wedding bells at the Dog & Duck after all.
Join the gang at the Dog & Duck for the perfect uplifting love story for fans of Cathy Bramley, Heidi Swain and Julie Houston.
'A gorgeous setting and wonderful characters, just the loveliest place to cosy up and escape to' Beth Moran

'Snowflakes Over Primrose Woods is superbly written but then I have come to expect nothing less from Jill Steeples. Jill has one of those easy going writing styles that is easy to get used to and easy to get along with. In fact reading one of Jill's books feels more like a chat between friends rather than reading a book' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review
