Sunday Times bestseller Trisha Ashley whisks us away this Christmas for a heartwarming tale of the importance of love, family and friendship...

For Ginny Spain, Christmas means putting twinkly lights on the tree and wrapping up warm with her (ex)boyfriend. It does not look like either: a remote writers’ retreat called Triskelion, or digging into the past of an enigmatic ancestor with her mother.

Admittedly, Ginny does enjoy wandering around the quaint coastal village of Little Star, listening to the waves. And piecing together the puzzle of her ancestor, Arwen’s, life has definitely been intriguing. As has the chance to meet Rhys Tarn…

A ruggedly handsome novelist, Rhys is heartbroken yet determined to make the most of Christmas. Meeting Ginny—a woman he shares a spark, and an unexpected connection, with—was not part of the plan.

Faced with overwhelming family secrets, can Ginny and Rhys help each other find a path forwards to festive cheer?
