Join us for Christmas in the Cotswolds in this perfect festive escape, from the bestselling Lucy Coleman.

Imogen Tolliman never knew her mother. And when an accident robs Immi of her father too, she goes to live with her grandfather, Tollie, in his picturesque lock-keeper's cottage by the Aysbury marina.

Tollie is the star of the Santa Ahoy Special each Christmas – a festive boat ride along the canal that enthralls both children and adults alike. And as Immi grows up, she starts to appreciate the magical community she is lucky enough to live in.

When Immi meets Gray Adams, she instantly realises he's someone special. And as their relationship gets serious, they start to plan for the Christmas to beat all Christmases.

But as the day approaches, and the romantic snow showers turn into blizzards, their dream of a Christmas to remember, looks set to be one they'll never forget - for all the wrong reasons. Can they salvage the festivities, or...]]> Thu, 01 Oct 2020 12:50:57 +0300 https://archive.bookfrom.net/lucy-coleman/526976-a_springtime_to_remember.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/lucy-coleman/526976-a_springtime_to_remember.html

Is a change as good as a rest?
When married couple Fern and Aiden have a windfall, their reactions could not be more different. While Fern is content to pay off their mortgage and build a nest egg before starting a family, her husband is set on traveling the world.
Fern's not much of a back-packer so, before she knows it, the idea of a 'marriage gap year' takes shape. And, as Aiden heads off to the wilds of Australia, Fern chooses the more restful Provence for her year out.
Set amidst the glorious French scenery, Château de Vernon offers a retreat from the hustle and bustle of normal life, and Fern agrees to help out in return for painting lessons from the owner – renowned, but rather troubled, painter Nico.
As their year unfolds in very different ways, will the time apart transform their marriage, or will...]]> Sun, 01 Nov 2020 17:00:47 +0200 https://archive.bookfrom.net/lucy-coleman/602912-a_christmas_wedding_in_the_cotswolds.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/lucy-coleman/602912-a_christmas_wedding_in_the_cotswolds.html

What could be more festive than a winter wedding in the picturesque English countryside? Join us for Christmas in the Cotswolds with the bestselling Lucy Coleman.

Imogen Tolliman and Gray Adams can't wait to get married after getting engaged the previous year, when they were stranded by snow in a blizzard. Now they are busy planning their wedding, but when the date slips six months because Gray is working on a huge film project, it seems like fate that after their snowy start, they will end up getting married at Christmas.

The couple are living in Immi's grandfather's picturesque lock-keeper's cottage at the Aysbury marina in the Cotswolds, which they are renovating to become their forever family home. As well as building work, full-time jobs and wedding planning, Immi is in charge of raising money to build a children's playground, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of The Santa Ahoy Cruises – her grandfather Tollie's life work.

When Gray is...]]> Mon, 06 Dec 2021 23:26:00 +0200 https://archive.bookfrom.net/lucy-coleman/349639-snowflakes_over_holly_cove_the_most_heartwarming_festive_romance_of_2018.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/lucy-coleman/349639-snowflakes_over_holly_cove_the_most_heartwarming_festive_romance_of_2018.html
