*Don't miss out - pre-order Veronica Henry's latest gorgeously escapist novel, One Night at the Château, now!*
It's the most wonderful time of the year...
It's only a month until Christmas and Josie Ballard is up to her ears in brandy, raisins and cherries as she battles to make forty Christmas pudding to sell at Bath Christmas market!
Ever since Giles walked out the day their baby son, Titus, was born, Josie has had to work twice as hard to make ends meet - and she can barely keep up with demand for her famous steamed puddings. Even worse, her handsome new neighbour, Harry, is proving quite a distraction.
Meanwhile, Giles is starting to wonder whether he made a terrible mistake in abandoning Josie and Titus - it turns out the grass isn't always greener. And with one party blurring into another, he decides it's finally time to head home to Pelham Crescent for the holidays.
But the last thing Giles expected was to find newcomer Harry on Josie's doorstep!
Christmas just got complicated...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
British author Titchmarsh (Rosie) brings the art world alive in this engaging romantic drama. In 2007, James "Jamie" Ballantyne reconnects with childhood chum and flame, Artemis "Missy" King, who resurfaces in the showroom of Jamie's auction house in Bath to bid on a painting on behalf of her grandfather. The reunited couple discover that a set of paintings by Sir Alfred James Munnings, owned by Missy's grandfather (himself owner of an established fine art gallery), are fakes. Their investigation reveals a long thread of family secrets and the source of the feud between their two families, revelations that cause the couple to split up. Titchmarsh alternates between the present and the story of Jamie's grandfather, Harry Ballantyne, and Missy's grandmother, Eleanor King, who met as art students at Oxford. The effect is nostalgic and builds anticipation and curiosity in the history of the two families, including the story behind the lost love of their grandparents.
