A signed, dedicated paperback of Christmas Carols and a Cornish Cream Tea by Cressida McLaughlin. (#09)

A signed, dedicated paperback of Christmas Carols and a Cornish Cream Tea by Cressida McLaughlin. This is the fifth book in the Cornish Cream Tea series.

About the book:

Can she spread Christmas cheer in Cornwall this year?

All Meredith Verren has ever wanted is to escape the holiday season without having to wear a Christmas jumper. Her new job at the cosy gift shop in a picturesque Cornish tourist spot is making it impossible for her to maintain her scrooge-like manner.

With their seasonal hampers on everyone’s wish list, Meredith must paste on a smile and fake some holiday cheer. Then she meets handsome new arrival, Finn, who wishes it could be Christmas every day and wants her to feel the same way too.

Can she embrace the holly and the ivy before the decorations are packed away for another year?
