'The perfect festive romance' Heidi Swain

A cosy Cornish village. A baker with a broken heart. And the community who piece it back together.

After a crushing breakup and the loss of her beloved grandmother Ruby, Lola escaped to the charming Cornish village of Polcarrow to start over with just her dreams of opening a café to keep her company.
But Polcarrow has other plans. With the help of her spirited best friend Freya, a surrogate grandfather in Alf and a community that quickly feels like family, Lola finds herself drawn into village life - and straight into the path of Tristan, the disarmingly attractive local vicar.

As sparks fly and Christmas magic fills the air, long-buried family secrets begin to surface. A hidden chapter in Ruby's past could change everything Lola thought she knew about love - and herself. And with the festive season in full swing, complete with fairy lights, Christmas bakes and a lobster pot Christmas tree, and Tristan's ex back in town, Lola must decide: will she protect her heart, or take a leap of faith for a love that could be written in the stars?

A feel-good festive romance brimming with charm, second chances and the sweet scent of mince pies. Perfect for fans of Phillipa Ashley and Jo Thomas.


Return to Polcarrow next spring in Hot Cross Buns at the Little Cornish Bookshop. Pre-order now.
