Last Christmas at Ballyclare

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The uplifting and heart-warming novel about love and family, perfect to cosy up with this Christmas.

Natasha is flying home for Christmas to Ballyclare—a beautiful old house in the Wicklow hills. When her friend Ben—who she was so sure could be more than that—abandons his plan to join her, she's devastated. Another year of just her mother and sister Doon for company.

To add to her woes, no sooner has she arrived home—her sanctuary through many a storm—than she is told it might have to be sold. And to the man whose younger brother broke Doon's heart all those years ago.

Will this be their last Christmas at Ballyclare? Or could a little bit of Christmas magic, and unexpected romance, help all three McDonnell women find their path?
