"This book hit me right in the feels."
"Wow, wow. The best kind of Christmas story, like Milly Johnson at her best."

For the first time, Leonie is happy, but can it last?
The welcome she's had at Kendric House is like the biggest warmest hug. The charming if dilapidated pink manor house is full of beautiful rooms all in desperate need of restoration.
Leonie's also met a grandfather she never knew she had. A kind sweet old man who lives in a miserable care home, eating cheap stale biscuits and drinking dish-rag tea. His only wish now is to have one last traditional cream tea. She wants to give him that before leaving, except she has never baked a scone in her life.
Then there's Raff, the strong and silent neighbour with masses of long hair and a dark beard. The longer she stays the greater the danger to her heart because he seems to have secrets of his own.
With Christmas only six weeks away, she needs to hurry back to London to rescue her acting career and find a new place to live. Her normal life might be cold and full of disapproval and competition, but how can she stay in Wales with no money and no prospect of work? Even worse, the beautiful Kendric House is under threat of closure, and the generous family who welcomed her might find themselves homeless for Christmas.
