The Cottage on Christmas Gardens

It's the most wonderful time of the year in the gorgeously festive seaside town of Lovegrove Bay, where the snow is sparkling, hot chocolate is flowing and romance is about to set hearts on fire. From multi-million bestselling author Holly Martin comes the hottest love story this Christmas.

For the longest time love has been complicated for Alex Campbell. After she lost her husband Liam in a tragic accident, she's devoted herself to raising their daughter Zara alone. Falling in love again felt impossible, until she met Liam's brother Quinn...

Not only is Quinn a handsome, talented artist, he's been there for Alex and Zara every day since they met, even moving to beautiful Lovegrove Bay to be close to them. But while falling for your dead husband's brother is less than ideal, she's convinced he doesn't feel that way about her. Which is just as well because Alex has a secret, a guilt she's carried for years, a truth about the night Liam died that she's been too scared to tell anyone, most of all Quinn.

So when the pull of mistletoe and the magic of the festive season prompt Alex to finally dip her toe back into the dating world, the last person she expects to be against it is Quinn. Could he have feelings for her too? And could they even be together if he does? Alex doesn't have the answers but if she can find the courage to take a chance on love maybe all her Christmas wishes will come true...

Curl up and fall head-over-heels with this deliciously romantic holiday tale, perfect for fans of Jill Mansell, Veronica Henry and Sue Moorcroft.
