The Best Little Christmas Shop

From the bestselling author of A Winter’s Fairytale and The Christmas Project comes a hilarious festive rom-com that will warm your heart! 🎄🎁

Lexi never imagined she’d spend the holidays in her family’s cosy Christmas shop, icing gingerbread men and decorating wreaths to distract herself from a failed engagement.

Still healing from heartbreak, she’s convinced that romance is off her Christmas list for good. But that’s until gorgeous single dad Cal Martin walks through the door …

Christmas takes on a whole new meaning as Lexi begins to see it through the eyes of Cal’s adorable five-year-old son. And as she finds herself edging close to the mistletoe with Cal, she can’t help but wonder if this magical season could bring her the happiness she thought she’d lost for ever.

After all, sometimes the best gifts come when you least expect them.🎁🌟

Tropes:

❄️Small town romance

❄️ Second chances

❄️ Found family

About the author

Maxine Morrey has wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember and wrote her first (very short) book about an elf for school when she was ten.

Years passed and she continued to write but 'life' often got in the way. She has written articles on a variety of subjects, as well as a local history book and in 2015 she won a contract for her Christmas romcom, Winter's Fairytale.

She is the bestselling author of Things Are Looking Up, #NoFilter, and the Kindle UK top ten read, The Christmas Project, among others.

In 2024, her book You've Got This won The Romantic Comedy Award at the Romantic Novelists' Association award ceremony in London.

When not wrangling with words, she loves to read, sew and listen to podcasts. She can also often be found out on a gentle walk in nature, camera in hand.
