All Lara wants for Christmas is a chance for a fresh start . . .
Eighteen years ago, Lara Carson left Bath without a word to anyone. Now she's back and about to come face to face with her old boyfriend Flynn, who's more gorgeous than ever. Lara can't deny the spark that's reawakened between them. But is she ready to confess what she's been keeping from Flynn all these years?
At least Lara can celebrate her childhood best friend Evie getting her happy ever after. Evie's about to walk down the aisle with Joel, the man of her dreams. Well, that was the plan . . .
As the snow starts to fall, things are only hotting up for Lara and Flynn. But opening her heart after everything that's happened isn't exactly a walk in the park for Lara. Can she and Flynn work things out before Christmas Day? Or will one of them be left waiting alone under the mistletoe?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Mansell (Nadia Knows Best) charmingly mixes her trademark British chick lit style with a web of poignant love stories. Lara Carson moves back to her Bath hometown 18 years after she abruptly left, with her teenage daughter, Gigi, in tow. Lara's close childhood friend Evie is about to marry local heartbreaker Joel Barber until she learns he cheated on her; fortunately hotel proprietor Ethan is there to soothe her sorrow. Lara's dealing with her own explosive news when her high school flame, Flynn Erskine, returns to town and Lara feels obliged to reveal that Gigi is his daughter. Elsewhere, rapper EnjaySeven drags Lara's longtime friend Harry Wells, a mild-mannered shopkeeper, into his reality TV series, leading the two to embark on their own unlikely romance. Quirky secondary characters add texture to the tale as each couple stumbles along most, though not all, eventually finding settled happiness. Mansell deftly weaves a sweet and pleasant story.
