It's the most wonderful time of the year...but is it the time to
fall in love? When Darcy returns to Manhattan, she's put in charge
of the Inglenook Inn, a cosy boutique hotel in the heart of
Greenwich Village. The Inn needs a boost in bookings if it's to
survive, so Darcy is convinced that hosting Christmas this year is
the answer. What she doesn't expect is to meet a face from the
past, which can only spell trouble. Myles left England behind and
took a job in New York. It's a step forwards in his career, and has
the added bonus of being nowhere near his family. He's also hoping
to avoid Christmas, the worst time of the year. But when his
company puts him up at the Inglenook Inn and he recognises Darcy,
it isn't long before they clash. As the flames on the log fire
flicker and the snowflakes swirl above the New York streets, maybe
this Christmas could be the one that changes everything... *Please
