Ruby Sutton hates Christmas and is determined it just isn't happening this year. After a shocking tragedy two Christmases ago Ruby finds herself unable to ruin another Christmas for her parents, which is what she did last year. So, she's booked herself a little escape in a secluded cottage in Devon. She has everything she needs for her hideaway holiday and intends to while away her time soaking in the bath, reading books, knitting (yes, really) going braless, and not blow drying her hair at all. That's the plan: Christmas is officially cancelled.
Just before she leaves for her break, she discovers the cottage is called Christmas Cottage - who names a cottage that is normally a summer rental that? Is it an omen? Could be, but she arrives late at night, snuggles down and has the best night's sleep she's had for two years.
It's going to be great, isn't it? Except there's been a mix-up, the cottage is double booked, it snows and she's trapped with the ever smirky and smiley, Noah Steele. So much for going braless...
Will Ruby discover the joys of Christmas again? Will Noah ever stop smiling?
Let the bickering commence...
