Synopsis
'A Christmas hug of a book' (Fionnuala Kearney), and ‘the perfect festive romance’ (Heidi Swain), from the bestselling author of This Christmas.
On Christmas Eve, sweet-natured, obsessively organised hotel manager Bea and over-worked A&E nurse Ollie meet on the flight home to Ireland. They talk, sparks flying, the whole way. But when the plane lands, they wave goodbye, each secretly wondering if they’ll ever meet again.
A few months later, they bump into each other in London. The chance encounter leaves them breathless, til a tiny misunderstanding means that, yet again, they part as strangers. But as the next Christmas draws near, fate, it seems, won’t give up on Bea and Ollie… The only question is, will they listen to what the universe seems telling them?
Christmas Eve was just the beginning. Maybe next Christmas they’ll fall in love?
