Some Christmas surprises come gift wrapped. Others are six foot three, impossibly arrogant and standing in the lobby of the best hotel in London… Belle Woods is not the kind of woman who falls for a man she’s only just met. Finn McAllister is not the kind of man who falls for anyone.

But with the city wrapped in the warm glow of a thousand fairy lights, frost sparkling on snowy streets and steaming hot chocolates warming cold hands, Christmas in London has a way of making anything feel possible. And sometimes the most unexpected Christmas can turn out to be the one you never want to end. – Praise for Julie Caplin: ‘A festive, feel-good escape brimming with holiday charm, swoony romance, and the magic of New York at Christmas time.
