Synopsis

If there is one thing she has learned in England, it's that not all Englishmen are created equal. Because this guy was turning out to be a real pill.
Tired of spending the holidays throwing up on cruises with her parents and, you know, being dumped by ex-boyfriends, Claire Frost is determined to change her luck this Christmas. Taking time off from her flower shop, she follows her friend to London, ready to enjoy all-things England. And boy, does she. The frost-covered flowers. The frozen green hills. The bright red telephone boxes. The festive Christmas markets.
Also the men. Definitely the men.
Except, of course, her friend's cousin. Liam Everhart is super attractive, super swoony, and super English. Too bad he's also a super jerk. A super jerk whom she now has to spend every minute with. What a blessed, blessed relief that his Darcy/Poldark looks are overshadowed by his Darth Vader/Malfoy personality. She had enough Christmas baggage to deal with, so why would she ever add a swoony Englishman to the mix?
This is a clean, sweet, wholesome romance set in present-day London, England that features the enemies-to-lovers and forced proximity tropes, with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

About Deborah M. Hathaway

"Deborah M. Hathaway graduated from Utah State University with a BA in English and an emphasis in Creative Writing. As a young girl, she devoured Jane Austen's novels while watching and re-watching every adaptation of Pride & Prejudice she could, entirely captured by all things Regency and romance.

Throughout her childhood, she wrote many short stories, poems, and essays, but it wasn't until after she married that she was finally able to complete her first romance novel, attributing the completion to her courtship with and love of her charming, English husband.

Deborah finds her inspiration for her novels in her everyday experiences with her husband and children and during her travels to the United Kingdom, where she draws on the beauty of the country in such places as Ireland, Yorkshire, and her beloved Cornwall."

Goodreads review by Lauren on October 17, 2022

Christmas baggage is a fun Christmas rom com between a stoney faced grump and an accident prone horticulturalist. This is a story about a once in a lifetime trip to London full of site seeing, Star Wars references and finding that your person might be the one who stole your carry on. As this is Debo......more
