Three heartwarming Christmas holiday reads from CP Ward...

I'm Glad I Found you This Christmas

Maggie Coates is frustrated. Her longterm boyfriend, Dirk, recently moved to London to take a job she fears puts him out of her league. Despite the assurances of her best friend Renee, Maggie is convinced Dirk is slowly drifting away. All Maggie wants is to get married and settle down, but maybe Dirk has other ideas.

Convinced by Renee to make one last throw of the dice, Maggie books a romantic holiday for two in the quaint Scottish village of Hollydell. But will Dirk show up?

And if he doesn't, what if Henry, the humble reindeer farmer with the kind smile, turns out to be the man of Maggie's dreams?

We'll Have a Wonderful Cornish Christmas

Unlucky-in-love and long-term loner Lucy Drake can find no excuse not to join her parents on a Christmas trip to the Cornish coastal town of Tintagel, not when her father's company is sponsoring the inaugural Christmas Extravaganza.

Hoping to hide an embarrassing secret and generally keep out of sight, Lucy finds herself attracted to local surfing dentist, Dan. But when his ex-girlfriend and social media starlet Elizabeth Trevellian shows up to expose all of Lucy's insecurities, Lucy will need all of the magic of Christmas to help her untangle the ensuing mess.

Coming Home to Me This Christmas

Cottonwood, however, is under the control of a mysterious but powerful recluse determined to prevent Christmas at any cost.

Channeling her grandmother’s never-say-die attitude, Emily takes on the challenge of restoring Christmas to Cottonwood with an onslaught of mince pies, bad karaoke, and Christmas illuminations.
