But she immediately recognises the lost look in Edinas watery-blue eyes and resolves to organise a Christmas to remember for them both  brimming with mince pies mulled wine and lots of sparkle. Although Belle hadnt counted on Edinas home being a crumbling Scottish castle and she certainly hadnt been expecting Edinas handsome long-lost grandson Jack Hamilton-Kirk to turn up on the doorstep in the middle of a snow stormJack is arrogant rude and bossy and Belle is convinced hes about to ruin the seasonal cheer she has worked hard to create. Hes basically the Grinch in human form so why does her heart race every time theyre in the same room? They disagree on almost everything from menu choices to music and yet she starts to glimpse a softer side hidden behind Jacks clipped words and brooding countenance.As they hunt down costumes for the annual nativity show and save a donkey from a snowy disaster Belle cant ignore their growing attraction. But will a secret from Jacks past come between them? Or will this finally be the year Belle falls in love?This gorgeous festive read is like a warm hug in a book!
