When Paige turns up unannounced at Wynthorpe Hall, she discovers the place she knew when she was growing up has changed beyond all recognition. She’s only planning to stay for a short time, but is quickly pulled into local life. One night while driving home after delivering library books and shopping to residents she stumbles across an isolated cottage and meets Albert, its elderly and rather grumpy owner. She quickly realises there’s more to 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?
Oh, what a joy it is to be back in Wynbridge at Christmas time! This is the 9th book set in the village of Wynbridge but if this is your first trip then fear not as all books can be read as a standalone.
This time we are following Paige as she returns to Wynbridge. For those who have read previous books, Paige is Angus’ goddaughter. (Of course, we couldn’t have a Christmas book without Angus!) Paige has been away for quite a while and is back but not quite herself. Paige is such an easy character to like. She loves to help people and goes out of her way to do so. How can you not root for someone like that?
This is the perfect book to read to get you in the festive mood. Wynbridge knows how to do Christmas and the build-up to the day is just as exciting as the day itself. Grab a hot chocolate, a blanket, and snuggle down for a festive romance that will leave you with a smile on your face.
About Heidi Swain
Although passionate about writing from an early age, Heidi Swain gained a degree in Literature, flirted briefly with a newspaper career, married and had two children before she finally plucked up the courage to join a creative writing class and take her literary ambitions seriously.
A lover of Galaxy bars, vintage paraphernalia and the odd bottle of fizz, she now writes contemporary fiction and enjoys the company of a whole host of feisty female characters.
Heidi can be found at the keyboard at all hours of the day and night and quite often scribbling longhand in her car during her lunch break. She lives in stunning south Norfolk with her wonderful son and daughter and a mischievous cat called Storm.

[…] Swain is one of my favourite authors. She does a cracking Christmas book and A Christmas Celebration is no exception. I was so happy to return to Wynthrope Hall for Christmas and more of Angus […]
