ONE CHRISTMAS. 24 CHALLENGES. AND A ROMANCE SHE DIDN'T SEE COMING. ? ? ? ? ? 'A pure joy to read' ? ? ? ? ? 'Hope, romance, and festive feels' ? ? ? ? ? 'So much depth' A young woman travels to the Alps to complete her best friend's last request - and finds a love that's closer to home than she realises in this gorgeous festive romance from the author of Always, in December and Yours for the Season. Ali has always loved Christmas. She and her best friend Robyn had a tradition to exchange advent calendars filled, not with chocolate, but with fun challenges to complete. Only this year, there is no Robyn. Ali would rather skip December altogether, and the reminders it will bring. But before she died, Robyn left Ali one last calendar. The first challenge? Book a flight to Chatel, in the French Alps. The second challenge? Post a selfie with an attractive man to make your ex jealous. Determined to give Robyn's calendar her all, Ali takes a position in a hotel in Chatel, nestled in the snowcapped mountains, and snaps a selfie with a gorgeous stranger on the way. But when she arrives, Ali is shocked to realise the surly hotel manager is the man from her photo. And now everyone already thinks she's dating the boss... Suddenly the season looks a lot more complicated than she'd planned. But as the snow falls, will this be the Christmas to thaw Ali's heart?
