Bundle up warm and take a sleigh ride to Christmas Resort, the wintry haven where a fire is always roaring and hot chocolate is on tap. But can Ivy Heart let down her defences and fall in love at the most wonderful time of the year?
Singleton and city-girl Ivy Heart has just turned thirty. She's a chronic list-maker, married to her five-year-plan, and can't remember when she last had a Christmas off. This year is no different; PA to Lady Miriam Ballentine, Ivy has been tasked with bringing her estranged grandson home before Christmas Eve in return for a reference. With her dream job on the line, Ivy packs her bags for the snowy Scottish Highlands to track down the heir to the Ballentine estate.
But when Ivy arrives at Christmas Resort, she discovers Ross Ballentine is far from a polished Laird-to-be. Rough around the edges, free-spirited and jaw-droppingly gorgeous, Ivy is shocked when he drives off on his snowmobile at the first mention of his grandmother. Not taking his frosty tracks as an answer, Ivy books herself onto his reindeer spotting tour, determined to convince this recluse to return to his responsibilities at the crumbling family castle.
But events don't follow Ivy's meticulous schedule as she spends time with Ross in his rustic cabin, switching her phone and mind off to the demands of city life. Soon it's not just the log fire heating up between them. Does Ivy have more in common with this grumpy woodsman than she thought?
As sparks of romance roar under snowy skies, can Ivy get Ross home in time to secure the job she's worked so hard for? Will Ivy's ambition and Ross's stubbornness drive them apart, or give them a Christmas they will never forget?
Full of festive sparkle, this completely addictive read is perfect for cosy nights and frosty mornings! Fans of Cathy Bramley, Trisha Ashley and Debbie Macomber will adore this gorgeous Christmas romance.
