I've officially found the perfect holiday read in this book. — Caroline Corcoran

Zoe has a special talent for saving lost causes… but she’ll need a miracle to save herself from this mess!

When her biggest advertising account cancels their contract, single mum Zoe Taylor’s Good News Gazette — Westholme’s pre-eminent feel-good news source — faces an uncertain future.

Determined to save her paper, Zoe strikes a bargain with millionaire developer Daniel Lewis. He’ll help her find advertisers, and in exchange she’ll spearhead his campaign to save the Art Deco cinema from destruction.

But with her boyfriend Sam no fan of her new business partner, an unexpected job offer from her old boss, and an unshakeable feeling that there’s something more between her and Daniel than there should be, Zoe’s future soon feels as uncertain as her paper’s… and she’ll be forced to make a decision that changes everything for her and her son Charlie.
