Sophie used to adore everything about Christmas. Hot chocolate and velvet bows fairy lights
and mince pies. Until the December her fiancé jilted her. Since then Sophie opened Sunnyside
Hotel a quaint guesthouse nestled deep in the Cumbrian countryside. And though it might be
winter at Sunnyside it's never Christmas. Marketing her hotel to those who wish to avoid the
festivities Sophie is busy preparing for a season full of joy and laughter but without the
tinsel and mistletoe. Yet as she finds herself growing closer to her gorgeous neighbour
Brody her heart begins to melt. Will this Christmas bring the touch of magic Sophie needs to
give love another chance? ________________________ Praise for Phillipa Ashley: 'Sparkling
