Synopsis

Love can grow anywhere in this cosy, romantic tale inspired by London's most famous Christmas tree.

A heartwarming festive read set in beautiful Norway - perfect for fans of Veronica Henry, Jojo Moyes and One Day in December.

Jane has given up on love. She might have uncovered the news scandal of the year, but she's also been dumped by boyfriend Simon . . . and has spent the last month avoiding him at the office.

With Christmas fast-approaching, Jane's heart is no closer to mending.

But Jane's boss has other plans for her. She needs someone to go on a luxurious press trip to Norway to cover the story of the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree and she's selected Jane to go.

Jane would much rather wallow at home than spend a week in the fjords with some ditzy bloggers, a snippy publicist, ever-cheerful colleague Ben and handsome-but-arrogant TV presenter Philip Donnelly.

But as Jane throws herself into the trip and starts to enjoy herself, it seems that love hasn't quite given up on her just yet...

Amid all the snow, could a gift be awaiting her underneath the mistletoe?

I really enjoyed the book. It's another Christmas story a bit unexpected at some points. But how can Jane not realize through out the whole book what a horrible person Philip is . I was so mad at his character 😂......more
