The Secret Bookshop

When an anonymous parcel turns up at the shop where Sophie works, she’s surprised to find a beautifully bound classic novel, one that eerily seems to chime with her own story. Enigmatic Harry lives in a crumbling manor house, spending solitary days patching up leaks in the roof. The subject of unwelcome gossip in the village since his return from London, he prefers to keep to himself. As Christmas draws near and the gifting season arrives, Sophie attempts to get to the bottom of her mysterious parcel.

When Imogen leaves her fiancé at the altar and escapes to her grandmother’s cottage by the sea, the only thing she wants to do is disappear and wait for the furore to die down. But her wedding escape isn’t the discreet hideaway she hoped for, and when she is thrown together with the charming local baker Dexter, whose help she needs to stay under the radar, sparks start to fly. As Christmas approaches, can the runaway bride find her happy ever after under the mistletoe?
