Julie Caplin: Christmas on Fifth Avenue (Christmas Escapes, Book 1) [2025]

Welcome to New York, where the Christmas lights dazzle, the snow is falling and love is just around the corner...

'The literary equivalent of wrapping up in a blanket with hot cocoa while watching the lights twinkle.'

'Wow wow wow. A brilliant book.'

Evie Green's Christmas dream turns into a nightmare when a viral video makes her the laughing stock of the internet. But then a 5 star hotel sees a PR opportunity and invites her to New York for a Christmas she'll remember forever.

Enter Noah Sanderson, a disgraced soccer star seeking anonymity. Forced to fake a festive romance for the cameras, sparks fly - but not the twinkling Christmas kind!

As Fifth Avenue sparkles in all its holiday glory, can The City that Never Sleeps show these two frosted hearts that, maybe, the best love stories are the ones you never see coming.
