Five years ago.

After a bad breakup, Cerys Davies swaps the familiar shores of Wales for a fresh start in an enchanting village in the South Downs.

So Cerys throws herself into her newfound community, opening a quaint craft shop-tea room and helping launch the village's first festive craft fair.

But she’s soon tangled in a web of emotions. She’s fallen head over heels for Lovely Sam, the dishy owner of the local pub . . . within the first ten minutes of meeting him. It’s too bad he’s firmly in the clutches of Awful Belinda.Now.For five long years, Cerys has held a candle for Lovely Sam.

But she won’t let it get her down. As her fifth Christmas in Padcock approaches, there’s a magic in the air . . . Could this be the year that Cerys's wishes finally come true?

This Christmas might just be the one she’s been waiting for — filled with the joy of love and fresh starts . . .

Perfect for fans of Eliza J. Scott, Sue Moorcroft, Philippa Ashley, Heidi Swain or Kate Ryder.
