About this book

Book Summary

The novel that inspired a Lifetime Original Christmas movie! When Emma loses nearly everything right before the holidays, she needs a change…and she's about to get a whole lot more than she bargained for…

Emma Tremayne planned to be wrapped up in Christmas cheer with her boyfriend, but when she finds him in the arms of her boss, she loses her man and her job instead. Determined to find some peace and quiet until she can figure out her next move, she heads to the Lake District. But when she lands a new job with the tourist board and ends up responsible for a fundraiser involving handsome naked men and a calendar photoshoot, quiet is the last thing she'll be getting. One of the handsome men playing Santa might be the best man to brighten her holiday, and she's more than willing to try them out one at a time…

Set in England's Lakeland district, home to the country's highest mountains and deepest lake, and as unpredictable as the region's ever-changing weather, this funny, fast-paced Christmas romance is full of twists and turns that are as dramatic as its setting.
