Discover 'the perfect festive romance' (Heidi Swain) from the bestselling author of This Christmas, perfect for fans of Love, Actually and The Holiday.
This Christmas they're strangers. Maybe next Christmas they'll fall in love...
It's Christmas Eve and, as the snow begins to fall, Bea is at Heathrow airport, ready to return home to Ireland for the festivities.
There, she meets Ollie for the first time. They talk about everything and anything, and their connection is undeniable. But when their flight lands, they leave just as they met: strangers.
A chance encounter in London a few months later, however, sparks a chain of events neither of them could have ever imagined.
Last Christmas was just the beginning. This year will be full of surprises.
And next Christmas may be the one that changes everything. . .
