New York Ever After

When Cleo and Dylan find each other at a Christmas party, will they be able to make the necessary choices in order to find happiness and love for themselves?

The Little Knitting Box has been in Cleo’s family for nearly four decades, and Cleo’s to manage for four years - ever since she arrived in New York, fresh off the plane from the Cotswolds. But instead of an early Christmas card in the mail this year, she gets a letter that tips her world on its axis. New York was supposed to be her second chance, do people get third chances?

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.

Darcy is hosting Christmas at the Inglenook Inn, when someone from her past shows up and complicates things. Can they put their differences aside to make Christmas a success?

When busy lives, a crisis, and what seems like a wedding that's never going to happen put a strain on two couples, they must rely on friendship to get past it all....

Do only fools rush in? When Myles and Darcy first met there were fireworks and ever since then it’s been a rollercoaster ride, sweeping them both off their feet. Myles is determined to do things differently from his own parents, but he’s hard wired to give his career on Wall Street his all. Is he capable of taking his foot off the pedal? Darcy has established herself as a fine hotelier, co-managing The Inglenook Inn in the heart of Greenwich Village. She strongly values her independence, but is it time she made room in her life for something else?

Holly is looking for a change, and, even though not everyone agrees with her career choices, she’s determined there’s more to this life than the long hours she works as an editor in New York City. What she doesn’t expect is to meet Mitch, a recluse who’s hiding more than she realizes. Mitch spends his days hidden away in a little log cabin in the woods out in Inglenook Falls where he owns a Christmas-tree farm. He speaks to people only when and if it’s necessary, so when Holly falls into his life, he’s not sure how to react.

The snow is beginning to fall, the chestnuts are roasting, and the mulled cider is ready to serve at the Garland Street markets this holiday season. When Amelia arrives in Manhattan to help Cleo at her knitting stall, and Nathan comes to New York for a holiday with his daughter, both soon realize they won’t be getting quite the peaceful escape they’d imagined. Amelia is used to putting other people first, and this year is no exception. With surly nephew Kyle in tow, she has her work cut out trying to get both him and his mum to work through their problems before it’s too late.

It’s Thanksgiving, and friends are gathered at the Inglenook Inn in New York City to celebrate together. Cleo and Dylan finally have all their preparations in place for a perfect Christmas Eve wedding, but will it go according to plan? Kaisha is not only Cleo’s employee but a good friend too, and she’d do anything for the woman she sees as more of a sister than her own. She would never hurt Cleo or let anyone else ruin things for her friend, so she has put her own long-term dreams on hold and is determined to see to it that Cleo’s wedding to Dylan goes without a hitch.

When his boss, who is practically family, ​is called away on an emergency, Rupert has to step up and run the place. That would be challenge enough, but ​when his sister Natalie shows up, ​she brings a ​whole lot more ​baggage than ​her belongings.
