I absolutely LOVED writing this book. It actually began life as a steamy short story for a Christmas anthology and it was when I delved into the love interests’ backstory that I realised it was so much more – a dual PoV love story about two expats living in London.
Sophie Reid fell in love with her husband, Daniel, while on holiday in London 11 years ago. After a whirlwind romance, she dropped her life in Melbourne, moved across the world to marry him and became a mum at 23 – only to find herself widowed and far from home by 27. With her mother-in-law, Connie, and 10-year-old, Harlow, keeping her busy, she only has time for family, work, and a very rich (sexual) fantasy life.
Drew Parker discovered 3 months before his wedding that his bride-to-be and best friend were sleeping together behind his back. After calling off the wedding, he jetted over to London where his brother, sister-in-law and young niece lived. Now he’s a love-shy ad exec and dutiful uncle.
And they are work rivals…
It’s a heartfelt, laugh-out-loud funny, Christmassy romcom that will have you turning the pages.
The blurb
🌟It’s the most wonderful time of the year… to win. 🌟
Sophie Reid is at the top of her game. A brilliant advertising exec and a devoted single mum, she’s this close to landing the biggest campaign of her career – the coveted Christmas ad for Hargreaves, the retail giant.
Her biggest rival? Arrogant lone wolf Drew Parker, who won the campaign last year – and the year before. If only he weren’t so hot, maybe Sophie could get him out of her head.
Drew knows exactly what Sophie thinks of him, but he doesn’t care. He’s here to win.
But when they’re forced to work together on the campaign, the lines between rivalry and attraction begin to blur.
As the festive season draws nearer, work takes them to snow-covered Switzerland – and those guarded, icy walls begin to melt. Could this Christmas be the start of something neither of them saw coming?
