Sarah Morgan 'The perfect early Christmas present for yourself!' Sophie Cousens* * * * Can two complete strangers save Christmas? Christmas has always meant something special to Merry - even without a family of her own. This year, her heart might be broken but her new candle business is booming. The last thing she needs is another project - but when her hometown's annual event needs some fresh festive inspiration, Merry can't resist. Cole loves a project too - though it's usually of the bricks and mortar variety. As a single dad, his Christmas wish is to see his kids again, so getting the new house finished for when they're all together is the perfect distraction. But this Christmas, magic is in the air for these two strangers. Will it bring them all the joy they planned for . . . and take their hearts by surprise too? After all, anything can happen at Christmas. . . * * * * Praise for The Merry Christmas Project 'Charming, cosy, candlelit romance all wrapped up in a gorgeous setting' Veronica Henry'Stuffed with Cathy's sparkling wit and warmth - I devoured it whole' Milly Johnson'A wonderful warm hug of a book, brim full of festive comfort and joy!'
