Where better to start again than New York?
Iris arrives in the city of dreams, intent on restarting her culinary career, and leaving her recent heartache behind.
Wandering the streets at a famous food festival, Iris feels like she's living in a movie. Then she stumbles upon a gelateria that looks strangely familiar. Inside, she meets Gio: a perfect leading man with an irresistible smile - and a crisis of his own.
As fate would have it, Iris is the one person with the answer to his problem. She just can't tell him that . . .
So, can Iris finally let go of the past - and let herself fall in love?
A sumptuously cosy seasonal love story set in sparkling New York, from the queen of the 'what if?' romance Josie Silver.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Although this enchanting romance unfolds against the backdrop of a chilly winter in New York City, here Josie Silver warms readers’ hearts with Iris and Gio’s irresistibly endearing journey from friends to lovers. After the breakdown of a tumultuous relationship and the death of her beloved mum, Iris Raven flees London for a fresh start in the Big Apple. While flicking through her mum’s old scrapbook, Iris discovers a curious family connection to Belotti’s, a renowned gelateria beloved by locals. When Iris decides to visit Belotti’s to uncover the truth, her undeniable chemistry with Giovanni, the store’s handsome owner is impossible to ignore. Josie Silver’s delightful cosy romance explores the complexities of grief and finding love in your thirties with an impressively subtle tenderness. Prepare to devour A Winter in New York quicker than a delicious scoop of the Belotti’s infamous gelato.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Silver (One Night on the Island) offers a middling contemporary rom-com full of manufactured drama and pointless miscommunication. London chef Iris Raven flees her abusive relationship, leaving Britain for New York City. There, she discovers that her mother's signature gelato recipe is the same as the top-secret recipe of a local gelateria, Belotti's. With the chef and Belotti family patriarch in the hospital, the recipe is lost and Gio Belotti, a handsome widower, struggles to keep the business afloat. Gio also believes Iris is a widow due to their snappish first meeting at a bookstore during which she lied to win an argument. Instead of explaining the situation and offering her mother's recipe, Iris embarks on a convoluted scheme to secretly steer Gio toward the correct recipe over the course of months. Their slow-burning romance is interspersed with flashbacks to her mother Vivien's time in 1980s New York—and her own love affair with a Belotti man. Iris is the maudlin author of her own misery, propelling the paper-thin plot forward through a series of bizarre choices. All but Silver's most devoted fans can skip this one.

Made me laugh, cry & swoon!
Loved this book. It drew me in from the first page, and took me through a gamut of emotions.
Would highly recommend!
Magical
Josie Silver has my gratitude again. She writes books that feed my soul and squeeze my heart. If you want a fuzzy warm feeling with a female lead with grit, a family with tradition, love and loss written with careful consideration then this might just be just for you. It’s marvellously written just like all Josie’s books before it, brilliantly.
