Step into the warmth and the cosy glow of the secret Christmas library…
Mirren Sutherland didn’t expect an old book in her great-aunt’s attic to change her whole world. But one minute she is staring resentfully at the sparkly London Christmas lights, dreading the thought of another Christmas alone. And the next, she is being whisked away on a secret night train to a grand old house in the highlands…
Jamie McPherson is desperate to save his family home – and he needs Mirren’s ability to sniff out an antique to do it. There is a very rare, very valuable, and very lost book somewhere in the nooks and crannies of his family’s crumbling estate. And if Mirren can find it, they might just be able to save the McPhersons from financial ruin.
But the house has its secrets, and when a snowstorm traps Mirren and Jamie in along with rival book hunter Theo Palliser, they realise that there is much more than just a book hidden in the halls. With old feelings and new sparks slipping through the cracks, it’s a race against time – and snowfall.
With the help of a sprinkle of Christmas magic, will Mirren uncover the clues and find the book – without losing her heart?
This perfectly cosy and uplifting novel will have fans of The Lost Bookshop, Jill Mansell and Sarah Morgan racing through the pages!
