Can two complete strangers save Christmas

Christmas has always meant something special to Merry - even without a family of her own. This year, her heart might be broken but her new candle business is booming. The last thing she needs is another project - but when her hometown's annual event needs some fresh festive inspiration, Merry can't resist.

Cole loves a project too - though it's usually of the bricks and mortar variety. As a single dad, his Christmas wish is to see his kids again, so getting the new house finished for when they're all together is the perfect distraction.

But this Christmas, magic is in the air for these two strangers. Will it bring them all the joy they planned for . . . and take their hearts by surprise too

After all, anything can happen at Christmas. . .

Many of her passions have come and gone over the years, but her love for story, drama and romance will last a lifetime.

Cathy has two grown-up daughters and lives in a small village in the English countryside.
