Description

The joy of Christmas and the thrill of falling in love collide in this gorgeous novel from the highly praised author of Accidentally Engaged.

There are two things that Ruby Dhanji loves with her whole entire heart: Christmas and anything to do with the UK.

For Ruby the holidays means joy and warm memories with her late mother. And now she’s on the verge of realizing the dream she and her mom always had: moving to England and opening a cozy inn. The only problem, Ruby needs some hotel experience first.

Rashid just doesn’t get all the holiday hype. But when he meets a woman dragging home a Christmas tree alone he has to offer to help-even if he soon finds Ruby adores all the things he dislikes. When Ruby discovers that his family owns a luxury boutique hotel chain she offers him a proposition: she’ll help him give his young nieces an amazing Christmas if he’ll facilitate an introduction to his family.

As Ruby and Rashid’s friendship turns to something more, she’s afraid she’s falling for someone weeks before she moves across the Atlantic and she’ll soon have to decide which dream she wants to chase.
