The Christmas Retreat. The heart-warming new holiday romance from the bestselling author of The Book of Lost Stories

Curl up this festive period with the brand-new Christmas romance from Trisha Ashley, the perfect gift for fans of Jenny Colgan and Sarah Morgan. For Ginny Spain, Christmas means putting twinkly lights on the tree and wrapping up warm with her (ex)boyfriend. It does not look like either: a remote writers' retreat called Triskelion, or digging into the past of an enigmatic ancestor with her mother. Admittedly, Ginny does enjoy wandering around the quaint coastal village of Little Star, listening to the waves.
And piecing together the puzzle of her ancestor, Arwen's, life has definitely been intriguing. As has the chance to meet Rhys Tarn.A ruggedly handsome novelist, Rhys is heartbroken yet determined to make the most of Christmas. Meeting Ginny-a woman he shares a spark, and an unexpected connection, with-was not part of the plan. Faced with overwhelming family secrets, can Ginny and Rhys help each other find a path forwards to festive cheer?Praise for Trisha Ashley:'One of the best writers around' Katie Fforde, bestselling author of From London with Love'Full of down-to-earth humour' Sophie Kinsella, bestselling author of The Burnout'A warm-hearted and comforting read' Carole Matthews, bestselling author of The Christmas Party'Utterly joyous' Hazel Prior, bestselling author of Away with the Penguins'This is the perfect novel to snuggle up with on a cold winter's night.'
