'This is fast becoming a favourite series of mine.' Sarah Bennett

When the ceiling of preloved clothing shop Roseford Reloved falls in at the height of Christmas season, owner Polly Parrott is in despair. She can see her fortunes draining away as quickly as the water is pouring through her roof. What makes it worse is that standing right underneath the deluge is Will Sutherland, sporting hero and new owner of Parson's Grange, the new modern mansion in Roseford.

Polly and Will's first meeting is about as far from a success as it can be, but over a festive season of Christmas markets, a Yuletide Ball and inconvenient snowfalls, can they forge a friendship or even more, despite their unpromising beginning? Or will the complications in both of their lives end their romance before it even begins?

Curl up with Fay Keenan's latest festive romance, perfect for fans of Holly Martin, Cathy Bramley and Jo Bartlett.
