Workaholic art historian Aurora Black doesn’t have time for fairy tales or Prince Charmings, even in the most romantic city in the world. She has recently been hired by a Parisian auction house for a job that could make or break her career. Unfortunately, daredevil journalist Cédric Castel seems intent on disrupting Aurora’s routine.
As Aurora and Cédric embark on a journey across France, they get more than they bargained for as they find themselves battling rogue antiques dealers and personal demons, not to mention a growing attraction to each other.
But with the help of a fairy godmother or two, could they both find their happily ever afters?

A Little Christmas Faith
Kathryn Freeman
Is it time to love Christmas again?
Faith Watkins loves Christmas, which is why she’s thrilled that her new hotel in the Lake District will be open in time for the festive season. And Faith has gone all out; huge Christmas tree, fairy lights, an entire family of decorative reindeer. Now all she needs are the guests …
But what she didn’t bank on was her first paying customer being someone like Adam Hunter. Rugged, powerfully built and with a deep sadness in his eyes, Adam is a man that Faith is immediately drawn to – but unfortunately he also has an intense hatred of all things Christmassy.
As the countdown to the big day begins, Faith can’t seem to keep away from her mysterious guest, but still finds herself with more questions than answers: just what happened to Adam Hunter? And why does he hate Christmas?

One Summer in Little Penhaven
Angela Britnell
A feel-good holiday read you will not want to put down.
Could one summer change your life? /p>
When high-flying American lawyer Samantha Muir finds out she’s lost her partnership whilst on an assignment in London, she has a dramatic reaction.
Rather than returning home, she resigns, leaves her business suits behind and jumps on the first train to Cornwall at the encouragement of a friendly stranger.
The village of Little Penhaven, where Samantha eventually ends up, is a world away from her life in Knoxville, Tennessee – and local farmer Cadan Day is certainly a world away from any man she has met before. But could the Cornish village and Cadan play a part in Samantha’s summer of self-discovery?

Kirsty Ferry
How far would you go to be with the one you love at Christmas?
The Isle of Skye is a magical place, especially at Christmas, and there’s no place Zac Fallon would rather be. But whilst Zac has everything he needs on Skye, there’s still something missing – and that something is a somebody called Ivy McFarlane.
Ivy used to work with Zac but then spread her wings and moved to Glastonbury. He’s missed her ever since. Now it’s almost Christmas and Zac realises that the Ivy shaped hole in his life is too big to bear. So starts his festive mission to the mainland – but will he back in time to spend Christmas in Skye? And, more importantly, will Ivy be with him?

Angela Barton
From the author of the successful Arlette's Story. Angela Barton brings you a wonderful contemporary novel set in London.
When you open up your home and your heart …
Rowan Forrester has it all – the happy marriage, the adorable dog, the good friends, the promising business and even the dream home after she and her husband Tom win a stunning but slightly dilapidated Georgian townhouse in London at auction.
But in the blink of an eye, Rowan’s picture-perfect life comes crashing down around her and she is faced with the prospect of having to start again.
To make ends meet she begins a search for housemates, and in doing so opens the door to new friends and new beginnings. But could she be opening the door to new heartbreak too?

Acknowledgements
I would like to thank my son Nicolas and daughter Clémence for providing me with a steady supply of very silly Christmas jokes, and all the friends who responded to my call for Christmas cracker jokes: Alison Creig, Jackie Ladbury, Helena Fairfax, Karen Aminadra, Sue McDonagh, Melody Winter, Kirsty Ferry, Tanja Celia and Marcia Woolf. I may not have used all your jokes but I am very grateful for your suggestions and the inspiration you gave me. Several of the jokes in the story are actually some I made up all by myself … but if I am very proud of them, I can reassure my children that I will not embarrass them any further by taking up stand up comedy!
I would also like to thank my Authors on the Edge friends, and especially Helena Fairfax for her encouragements.
Finally, I would like to thank the Choc Lit Panel for believing in Bluebell’s Christmas Magic: Dimi E, Emily S, Bee M, Gillian C, Haley E, Jo O, Janice B, Carol D, Gill L, Joy S, Ruth N, Alma H, Joy B, Sharon W, Selina D and Naomi Mc. Thanks also to Choc Lit for publishing the story and my brilliant editor for her great advice and suggestions, and to the Choc Lit graphic designers for giving me yet another beautiful and very festive cover.
