Fall in love with the brand new Christmas romance from bestselling author, Sandy Barker.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I love Sandy Barker’s stories. Modern romances with a bit of heat but a lot of love and plenty of hiccups along the way’ - NetGalley reviewer

‘A great romantic escape – 5 stars from me!’ - Julie Houston

Another year has passed and it’s Christmas again. This year best friends Chloe, Jules, and Lucy are all loved up but living worlds apart.

Chloe is madly in love with her celebrity beau, Archer, but after a whirlwind year in Hollywood’s limelight, she’s desperate to get away and spend some quality time together.

Jules loves her Melbourne life – and gorgeous winemaker Matt – but a crowded flat share has her longing for a place of her own.

Meanwhile, Lucy is stuck in a long distance relationship, jetting back and forth between Colorado and London to see Will.

When Archer’s plan to whisk Chloe to Paris goes awry, he surprises her by bringing her friends together for a Christmas to remember…

The perfect feel-good holiday romance for fans of Sarah Morgan, Jo Thomas and Holly Martin.
