Be swept away on an irresistibly romantic Christmas journey to Manhattan, Edinburgh and the snowy English countryside, in the stay-up-all-night love story from the author of THE CHRISTMAS LETTER and ONE LAST GIFT.
__________
It started with a letter. It ended with a love story.
Josie Morgan never looks forward to December. It's always a reminder of the life she lost, twenty years ago. Now, she always switches off the radio when Christmas music comes on. She always wants to tear down the tinsel her flatmate insists on pinning up. And she always posts a letter she knows will never be read.
Max Carter never expected to find himself stranded in London just days before Christmas. He never expected it would be so hard to say goodbye to a woman he hardly knows. Then again, he never expected to fall in love.
But, this December, when Josie's letter leads her to Max, a chance encounter will change their lives in the most remarkable way. And their story is only just beginning . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Stone's magnetic, bittersweet debut finds publicist Josie Morgan dreading Christmas following a break up with her cheating boyfriend, Oliver. It's just one more reason to hate the season: Josie's parents died at Christmastime when she was nine years old, and for the past two decades she's swapped out letters to Santa with letters to them sent each December. This year, while bicycling to her London post box, Josie collides with Max Carter, an architect unable to get a flight to New York for Christmas with his family. The pair wind up spending the holiday season together, enjoying a brief, intense affair. But Max flies to New York on Boxing Day without offering a way to contact him. Months later, the pair cross paths at a Brooklyn gallery opening Josie's attending with Oliver, with whom she's reunited, and then again at a wedding in Scotland. Though they're unsure where they stand with each other, when Josie's grandmother has a heart attack, Max is there to comfort her. But Max is harboring a secret that explains his reluctance to have a relationship—and the revelation will change Josie's life forever. Romance fans should be prepared for a tearjerker ending to this poignant, well-plotted tale of once-in-a-life-time love. It's as unforgettable as it is heart-wrenching.
