Step into the stunning Indigo Cove on the beautiful Cornish coast and lose yourself in a page-turning summer romance about second chances and creating your own kind of happiness. Perfect for fans of Nicola May, Sarah Morgan and Cathy Bramley. Thirty-year-old Ruby is done with love: no more drama, no more complications, no more men. She's living life for herself and that's just the way she likes it. But her whole world is turned upside down when her grandmother calls to say her beloved pottery business is failing, and she might lose her beautiful little Cornish house by the sea. She needs Ruby to come back to Cornwall and save the day... Returning to Indigo Cove stirs up memories Ruby would rather forget, but she's determined to save her grandmother's home. As the summer hots up so does the pressure on Ruby and she's in need of a distraction. Although quite literally walking into Gabe Roskilly, the sexy and brooding owner of the local brewery, wasn't part of her game plan. Ruby tries to ignore her attraction to Gabe but it's impossible to avoid the tall, dark, handsome stranger as Gabe is at the centre of village life. And when Ruby's plans for the little Cornish house start to fall apart, she discovers Gabe might be the one person who can help her. Ruby's promise to stay single is tested to the limit. But are Gabe's intentions all good... or is Ruby about to get her heart broken again? Can Ruby save her grandmother's cottage and find true happiness this summer? Or will secrets from the past ruin everything? Why readers love Donna Ashcroft: 'What an absolutely stunning read!!! A perfectly gorgeous book!!!... One of the best I've read in a long time.

Welcome to the gorgeous little Scottish village of Christmas, where snow is falling, presents are being wrapped and the locals are writing their festive wish lists. Will this finally be the year that Belle's dreams come true?Thirty-year-old Belle Albany is feeling lonely this Christmas. Another whole year has passed and her life is... exactly the same as it was last December. She longs for true love and a little bit of winter magic - but she's almost given up on finding it in the sleepy Scottish community where she lives...When Belle crashes into elderly Edina on her cherry red bicycle, it's not the meet-cute she'd been hoping for. But she immediately recognises the lost look in Edina's watery-blue eyes and resolves to organise a Christmas to remember for them both - brimming with mince pies, mulled wine and lots of sparkle. Although Belle hadn't counted on Edina's home being a crumbling Scottish castle and she certainly hadn't been expecting Edina's handsome long-lost grandson Jack Hamilton-Kirk to turn up on the doorstep in the middle of a snow storm...Jack is arrogant, rude and bossy and Belle is convinced he's about to ruin the seasonal cheer she has worked hard to create. He's basically the Grinch in human form, so why does her heart race every time they're in the same room? They disagree on almost everything, from menu choices to music, and yet she starts to glimpse a softer side hidden behind Jack's clipped words and brooding countenance. As they hunt down costumes for the annual nativity show and save a donkey from a snowy disaster, Belle can't ignore their growing attraction. But will a secret from Jack's past come between them? Or will this finally be the year Belle falls in love? This gorgeous, festive read is like a warm hug in a book! The perfect cosy romance to snuggle up with this Christmas.
