This Christmas, everything will change...



When Liv Latimer says goodbye to her fellow nurses and finishes work for the holidays, she's looking forward to a Christmas to remember with her boyfriend Eddie.



But as she leaves the hospital, tragedy strikes and Liv is faced with a choice. Will she ignore her instincts and go home as planned? Or will she stay, and potentially change the course of her life as she knows it?



Whatever choice she makes, Liv is about to discover that fate finds a way...



From the bestselling Irish author of The Ladies' Midnight Swimming Club comes an emotional and uplifting festive story about love, family and how a split-second decision can change your life.
