A Christmas Celebration

Heidi Swain

LIGHT the fire, cuddle up close and escape into the magic of Christmas with the queen of romance Heidi Swain. Swain, who lives with her family in picturesque south Norfolk, has won thousands of hearts with her super-sparkling novels set in Wynbridge, the fictional Fenland town where love blossoms whatever the season.

With a stable of enchanting titles like Underneath the Christmas Tree, The Winter Garden and A Taste of Home to her name, Swain (pictured below) has a well-earned reputation for heartwarming stories which showcase her talent for blending escapist romance, domestic drama and a perfectly imagined cast of characters with real-life challenges in the modern world.

Brimming with life and love, laughter and tears, and guaranteed to leave readers with that elusive sense of feelgood, these entertaining books are the perfect accompaniment for winter nights, summer holidays, spring getaways or autumn travels. Here we meet Paige who has been working abroad and turns up unannounced at Wynthorpe Hall, the home of her godparents, Angus and Catherine Connelly, and discovers that the place she knew when she was growing up has changed beyond all recognition. She was only planning to stay in Wynbridge for a short time but is quickly pulled into local life.

One night while driving home after delivering library books and shopping to residents, Paige stumbles across an isolated cottage and meets Albert, its elderly and rather grumpy owner. She quickly realises there’s more to the octogenarian Albert than meets the eye and the same can be said for the other man she can’t seem to help running into... handsome but brooding Brodie.

All three of them have a secret and a desire to hide away from the world but with Christmas on the horizon, is that really the best way to celebrate the season?

Brimming with emotion, drama, romance and friendship, Swain’s magical tale of love, community, cheer and charm is guaranteed to leave readers with a special snow-sprinkled glow that wraps itself around you like a cosy blanket of love and laughter. With its tasty festive concoction of real life, heart-fluttering romance, laugh-out-loud comedy and heartwarming happy-ever-after, this is the perfect Christmas book hug for winter nights.
