___________________________________ Born into a family of
successful pilots, Morag is used to flying high. But when a tragic
accident above the clouds grounds her, could the future she'd
always imagined be suddenly out of reach? When she receives a call
telling her that her beloved grandfather has been taken ill, Morag
leaves her fast-paced life in London to return home to the tranquil
Scottish Highlands. With her grandfather out of action, Morag has
no choice but to take over flying the local route in his rickety
old plane, ferrying locals across the beautiful islands of the
archipelago. But as the weather takes a dramatic turn, Morag is
forced to crash-land on a remote island and suddenly finds herself
far from civilisation and all alone. Then she discovers Gregor, the
gruff and reclusive ornithologist taking care of the island for the
season. Though the pair don't see eye to eye, Morag is forced to
seek shelter at his cabin and it seems the pair are stuck together
until help arrives. However long that may be . . . As she awaits
rescue, might Morag discover that a remote Scottish island, cut off
from real-life, is exactly the place she needs to be?

Christmas novel from Sunday Times top ten bestselling author, Jenny
Colgan. Carmen is at a loose end. Her gorgeous bookshop is the
filming site of a cheesy Christmas movie, she's been ousted from
her sister's house, and the love of her life has just flown
thousands of miles away. It's threatening to be a very unjolly
Christmas indeed! But when the elderly owner of the shop comes to
Carmen with a Christmas wish that threatens to never come true,
Carmen knows she must buckle down to get the funds to save not only
his trip, but the shop itself. While fending off a shady
tatt-selling businessman, Carmen discovers wonders to the shop she
could have never imagined, and opens a labyrinth of bookish
backrooms for the customers to get lost in. With her deadline
looming, it might take more than a fresh coat of paint to solve
Carmen's problems. But with the help of their neighbours, her
nieces and nephew, and a very distractingly cute male nanny, Carmen
might just pull her greatest magic trick yet...

Everyone knows her life story.
But who will win her heart?
Gertie has always had her head in the clouds, wondering what her life
might be like if she could only pluck up the courage to leave the
remote Scottish island where she was born.
It's the only place she knows, but you can't do anything there without
everyone knowing - the glue of this close-knit community is the
Knitting Circle, a group of strong, capable and frankly nosy women who
work hard, gossip, knit and support each other through thick and thin.
At the centre of this sisterhood is Gertie's mum Jean and her
grandmother Elspeth, and the three generations of women live together,
surrounded by wool, in one small cottage.
When the chance comes to make changes - a new job working with old
schoolfriend Morag on the local airline, new friends and even a
possible new romance - a world of possibilities opens up before Gertie.
Is this the way to make her dreams come true?

Christmas novel from Sunday Times top ten bestselling author, Jenny
Colgan. Carmen has always worked in her local department store. So,
when the gorgeous old building closes its doors for good, she is
more than a little lost. When her sister, Sofia, mentions an
opportunity in Edinburgh - a cute little bookshop, the spare room
in her house - Carmen is reluctant, she was never very good at
accepting help. But, short on options, she soon finds herself
pulling into the snowy city just a month before Christmas. What
Sofia didn't say is that the shop is on its last legs and that if
Carmen can't help turn things around before Christmas, the owner
will be forced to sell. Privately, Sofia is sure it will take more
than a miracle to save the store, but maybe this Christmas, Carmen
might surprise them all... ____________________ Why readers ADORE

___________________________________ On the tiny Scottish island of
Mure, Christmas preparations are even more hectic than usual . . .
Flora MacKenzie is worried about her brother. Fintan hasn't got
over the death of his partner, Colton, and Flora thinks he needs a
project. The Rock - the rambling, disused hotel on the tip of the
island - was Colton's passion project before he died. With Flora's
help, Fintan is going to get the hotel up and running in time for
Christmas, transforming it into a festive haven of crackling log
fires and delicious food. But running a hotel, they are about to
discover, is not that easy. Especially when their motley staff
includes a temperamental French chef, a spoilt Norwegian kitchen
boy who can't peel a potato without mutilating his own hand and a
painfully shy kitchen assistant who blushes when anyone speaks to
her. Can they pull it together in time for the big opening? And can
Flora help her family find happiness this Christmas?
