Journey to Christmas

The only problem drama teacher Paiton Underwood has is deciding what to do for the school’s fiftieth anniversary Christmas production…Until a class altercation leaves her with a broken arm—and a new job.

Fraser Quirk’s first day as headmaster goes from pretty good to downright disastrous in seconds. Now he’s suspending students and dealing with an injured teacher. Not to mention the threat of a school closure—of the permanent kind.

She thinks he’s bossy and overbearing. He thinks she’s a control freak. Can the school’s journey to Christmas bring healing, love and a hope for the future?

Just another winter’s tale

After his father retires, Vere Idowu returns to Wychwood Cross to take over the family greengrocers. As Christmas looms, he divides his time between running the shop, attending rehearsals for the choral society production of Messiah, and continuing the family tradition of leaving a welcome basket of seasonal fruit and veg on the doorstep.

Struggling with writer’s block, author Robyn Yardley moves to the country just before Christmas to finish the book she started over a year ago. The last thing on her mind is socializing, much less romance, but the local choral society needs sopranos for the Christmas concert. And the cute greengrocer did invite her to try out.

Finding a friend in Vere lifts Robyn’s spirits. Singing lifts her soul. And thankfully, she’s finally making headway on the book. That’s until the past and present collide, and everything changes.

Love Not Required

What if the best marriage starts with no love at all?

Liam Page has lost too much: two wives, his faith, and nearly himself. Now, as a single father to baby Olive, he’s determined to stay sober, stay steady, and never marry again, especially not for love. But when Lynsi Torres, a fellow teacher and friend, faces losing custody of her orphaned niece, Stella, she makes Liam an offer he can’t refuse: a marriage in name only to secure Stella’s future.

Lynsi needs a British husband to adopt Stella before their Christmas Eve court date. Liam needs help with Olive…and maybe, just maybe, a reason to believe in second chances. It’s a practical solution, nothing more. Love isn’t required.

But as they navigate family scepticism, legal hurdles, and their own fragile hearts, Liam and Lynsi discover that God’s plans don’t always follow the rules. When Stella falls ill and Olive’s laughter fills their home, the lines between convenience and care begin to blur. Can two people who swore off love find healing, trust, and a family they never expected?

Once upon a Christmas

As settlement for her father’s debts, Caitlyn Hosier is forced into a marriage with the village recluse—a man no one has seen all the years he’s lived in the manor house. A man surrounded by rumours. A man with a vicious temper. A man said to be a monster. A man who hates Christmas.

Hayden Shade hides his scars behind a mask, but the past never ceases to haunt him. A new life and a new start seem too much to hope for. Does he even deserve one? Surely not with a woman so wholly beautiful as Caitlyn. He longs to build a life-long relationship, but he daren’t allow her to see the real him until he knows for sure she loves him.

Desperate to find happiness with the man she’s fated to marry, Caitlyn determines to uncover the real Hayden Shade. There must be something good behind the mask. But what if there’s nothing more to him than the monster she could never love?

Pinecones and Hollyberries

When district nurse Octavia Berry arrives to start her new job on a remote Scottish island, the last person she expects to see is her estranged husband. With a population of seventy-two and at the mercy of the elements, the island offers the peace and fresh start she longs for—but considerably more complications than she anticipated. 

Pastor Ulysses Pine finds the island the perfect spot to assuage the sins of his youth. He spends his days tending many of the island sheep, as well as pastoring his human flock. The arrival of Octavia, the woman he abandoned on their wedding day, turns his ordered life upside down. 

As Christmas approaches, Octavia and Ulysses face a collision course with the past, whilst they try to navigate through the present. 

Saving Christmas

Rather than do the expected thing, Christmas Daniels, pursued a high powered career in London, flying across the world, never being home long enough for anything. When her father is taken ill, she returns to run Hollies Christmas Emporium, an all year round Christmas shop. Matt Pringle doesn’t make a good impression on his new boss when he accuses her of stealing his parking space. Wanting to make up, he tries to impress her, but ends up falling for her instead. When the bank threatens the store with closure, Chrissie sacrifices everything to try to save it. A committed Christian, Matt knows that Chrissie needs saving just as much. Will their growing attraction help Matt save Christmas before it’s too late?
