Description

The sparkling new Christmas novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author Heidi Swain!

Wynter’s Trees is the home of Christmas. For the people of Wynmouth, it’s where they get their family Christmas tree, and where Christmas truly comes to life.

But for Liza Wynter, it’s a millstone around her neck. It was her father’s pride and joy, but now he’s gone, she can’t have anything to do with it. Until her father’s business partner decides to retire and she must go back to handle the transition to his son, Ned.

When Liza arrives, she discovers a much-loved business that’s flourishing under Ned’s stewardship. She’s happy to stay and help for the Christmas season, but then she has other plans. Will the place where she grew up make her change her mind? And can it weave its Christmas cheer around her heart…?
