Don't miss this festive, small-town rom-com from million copy bestseller Portia MacIntosh.
'Easily my favourite Christmas book of the season so far.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'A warm, witty, feel good, festive romance' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ivy, the owner of a year-round festive store, loves Christmas. When her mother passed away, Ivy vowed to take over her mother’s store and keep the Christmas spirit alive in the idyllic seaside town of Marram Bay, and she’s been running the place single-handedly ever since.
The only thing missing in Ivy's life is a dash of romance – something her twin sister, Holly, will not let her forget.
As Christmas approaches, an enigmatic businessman moves to town, threatening to bulldoze her beloved shop to make way for a holiday complex. Ivy must fight to save the store. But could this intriguing newcomer be hiding a softer side, one that just might grant all her holiday wishes?

PORTIA MACINTOSH is the bestselling author of over 30 romantic comedy novels.

Whether it’s southern Italy or the Yorkshire coast, Portia’s stories are the holiday you’re craving, conveniently packed in between the pages. Formerly a journalist, Portia has left the city, swapping the music biz for the moors, to live the (not so) quiet life with her husband and her dog in Yorkshire.
