The brand-new escapist summer novel from Sunday Times bestseller Jenny Colgan. Fall in love with a new cast of characters and get swept away in a breath-taking romance you'll want to read again and again . . .
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?
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?

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

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

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

A sparkling new romantic comedy from the acclaimed author of
Amanda's Wedding. Holly is a frustrated florist whose life doesn't
exactly seem to be coming up roses. Fleeing the houseshare from
hell, she moves in with Josh, a sexually confused merchant banker;
Kate, a high-flying legal eagle with talons to match, and the
gorgeous Addison, who spends his days communicating only with his
computer and those who worship at the altar of Captain Jean-Luc
Picard. Holly's desperate to have a one-to-one with Addison, but
can she drag him away from his monstrously ugly, not to say jealous
internet 'girlfriend' Claudia, or will they just continually get
their wires crossed?
A deliciously warm novel from the best-selling author of Meet Me At
The Cupcake Cafe and The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris.
Amanda's old schoolfriends can't believe it when the
social-climbing queen of preen, Satan's very own PR girl, pulls off
the ultimate publicity stunt in getting herself engaged to a
Scottish laird. Who cares that Fraser McConnald has worn the same
pair of Converse trainers for the last three years and that his
castle is a pile of rubble with one calor gas heater - she'll be
titled! Something Must Be Done. Gentle, decent Fraser is clearly
ignorant of her wiles, and Mel and Fran, still smarting from the
memory of all the mean things Amanda put them through in their days
at Portmount Comprehensive, set out to sabotage this mismatch of
the century. So between fighting off the attentions of a
love-crazed accountant, keeping Fran's deadly manoeuvres with the
opposite sex under control and trying to win her own war of love
with the elusive but gorgeous Alex, Mel finds herself attending a
wild Scottish stag night, a hen night from hell, and preparing for
a wedding that's everything you'd wish on your worst enemy.

Your most delightful holiday read: the sequel to the instant New
York Times bestseller The Christmas Bookshop, from beloved Scottish
author Jenny Colgan. Christmas comes early--far too early--to
McCredie's little Old Town bookshop in Edinburgh. It's summer, but
an American production company has decided that McCredie's is the
perfect location to film a very cheesy Christmas movie. After all,
who can resist the charmingly narrow historic street with its
Victorian grey stone buildings and warmly lit shop windows? Carmen
Hogan, the bookshop's manager, is amused and a bit horrified by the
goings-on, but the money the studio is paying is too good to pass
up. She uses the little windfall from filming to create new
displays and fend off a buyout offer from an obnoxious millionaire
who wants to turn McCredie's into a souvenir shop selling kilts
made in China and plastic Nessies. Still reeling slightly from a
breakup, Carmen's not particularly looking forward to the holidays.
But just as snow begins to fall and the lights of Christmas blink
on, all sorts of lovely new possibilities present themselves...for
McCredie's bookstore, and for Carmen herself.
