Is a fake boyfriend really just for Christmas?

One fake romance. One magical Christmas. One chance to fall in love.

Laura was all set for a quiet solo Christmas – just her, a bottle of wine, and flat-sitting for a stranger. But when the stranger’s parents mistake her for his mystery girlfriend, she’s swept off to the snowy Scottish Highlands with Callum and his whole family.

Between the cosy sleeper train, charming pubs and breathtaking views, this could be the no-strings-attached Christmas of Laura’s dreams.

But stranger Callum is hot, hilarious and their ‘fake’ chemistry is off the charts.

So is this just a Christmas fling? Or the start of something more?

Christmas Fling is described as:

'Lindsey Kelk is the Taylor Swift of romance writing’ Daisy Buchanan

‘So funny, so charming, so romantic' BETH O'LEARY

'Everything I could possibly ask for in a romcom' LUCY VINE

'Impossibly funny, wildly romantic and extremely hot – I could not have loved it more’ ROSIE WALSH
