Can they patch up their broken hearts this Christmas
Christmas in the picturesque village of Willowbrook should be dreamy - twinkling fairylights, snow in the air, and a busy time for Amelie in the repair workshop she owns, restoring furniture and mending treasured objects for locals to give as Christmas gifts. But in the tiny community, Amelie keeps bumping into her ex, Jack - and it's killing her festive feeling. Jack and Amelie were perfect for each other... until one day they weren't. And when Jack's attempt at reconciliation goes wrong, he finds himself locked in Amelie's van. Driving to her aunt's house in the South of France, Amelie thinks she's finally going to get some peace over the festive period, but like it or not, she'll now be spending Christmas trapped on holiday with Jack. Could it help unwrap the secret to why they split up Or will it be a gift they'd rather exchange A wonderfully cosy, second-chance enemies-to-lovers festive romance, perfect for fans of Phillipa Ashley, Jo Thomas and Sarah Morgan.Sophie Claire, born to a French mother and Scottish father, grew up in Manchester where she still lives with her husband and two sons.
