The perfect festive read for fans of Jo Bartlett, Holly Martin and
Jessica Redland. It's almost Christmas in Heritage Cove - the
village tree is all lit-up, the bakery is full of festive treats,
the tea rooms and waffle shack are welcoming locals inside out of
the cold, and for some of the residents of the Cove, snow might not
be the only thing they're wishing for this year... Tilly is
overjoyed when an estranged relative comes to Heritage Cove wanting
to make amends. But as she lets him in to her life and Tilly's Bits
'n' Pieces - the shop she owns and loves - her friends aren't so
sure whether everything is quite as it seems. Benjamin's parents
run Mistletoe Gate Farm, selling Christmas trees, wreaths and
mistletoe. Benjamin has always thought his family was as firmly
rooted in the ground as the rows of Norway Spruce and Fraser Firs.
But when he finds a letter that rocks his world he realises he may
not be able to do anything to prevent the changes coming their way.
Benjamin and Tilly have been falling for one another since the
summer but will family complications put an abrupt stop to what is
looking like a burgeoning romance? With festive cheer weaving its
way through the Cove as two local favourites plan their wedding,
there's more than one relationship that could receive a little
Christmas magic... *Please note this is a re-release of A Winter
Wedding at Mistletoe Gate Farm, previously published by Helen J
Rolfe* Praise for Helen Rolfe's heartwarming stories: 'I really

start to finish and the end of the book left me feeling all warm

He kissed his best friend's little sister, and the world stood still.
That night, they were two perfect strangers: the town's grumpy recluse and a gorgeous girl in the back of a bar. Until they weren't. Because Nadia Dalca isn't just some girl. She's the one girl Griffin Sinclaire can't have. Fourteen years younger than him and completely off-limits.
After their forbidden kiss, Griffin's plan is to stay away, but the universe keeps pushing them together. It's like some sort of cosmic joke, to give him a taste of something so electric―so real―something that breathed life back into him. Because he can look, but he can't touch her again.
But with her sinful curves, her lighthearted laugher, and her secret wild side, Griffin's addicted to every last bit of her. And when she turns those sultry eyes on him―the ones so full of longing, so free of judgment? Well, he's always considered himself a strong man, but for her, he's weak.
To give in to their connection would be a betrayal. Griffin's life is beyond complicated, and Nadia has the world at her fingertips. Her brother is the only family she has left, and as sad as it sounds, he's also Griffin's only friend.
But he kissed her again anyway.
Olivia Dade bursts onto the scene in this delightfully fun romantic
comedy set in the world of fanfiction, in which a devoted fan goes
on an unexpected date with her celebrity crush, who's secretly
posting fanfiction of his own. Marcus Caster-Rupp has a secret.
While the world knows him as Aeneas, the star of the biggest show
on TV, Gods of the Gates, he's known to fanfiction readers as
Book!AeneasWouldNever, an anonymous and popular poster. Marcus is
able to get out his own frustrations with his character through his
stories, especially the ones that feature the internet's favorite
couple to ship, Aeneas and Lavinia. But if anyone ever found out
about his online persona, he'd be fired. Immediately. April
Whittier has secrets of her own. A hardcore Lavinia fan, she's
hidden her fanfiction and cosplay hobby from her "real life" for
years-but not anymore. When she decides to post her latest Lavinia
creation on Twitter, her photo goes viral. Trolls and supporters
alike are commenting on her plus-size take, but when Marcus, one
half of her OTP, sees her pic and asks her out on a date to spite
her critics, she realizes life is really stranger than fanfiction.
Even though their first date is a disaster, Marcus quickly realizes
that he wants much more from April than a one-time publicity stunt.
And when he discovers she's actually Unapologetic Lavinia Stan, his
closest fandom friend, he has one more huge secret to hide from
her. With love and Marcus's career on the line, can the two of them
stop hiding once and for all, or will a match made in fandom end up
prematurely cancelled?
