About this ebook
When the holidays don't go to plan, can love chart a new course?
Avery and Reed Bond might drive each other up the wall, but as siblings, they've always had each other's backs - through every triumph, every heartache, and every ill-advised attempt at matchmaking.
This Christmas is their first without their beloved Gram, the woman who raised them and made the season magical. Determined to honour her memory, they plan a holiday escape together. But when their ferry breaks down mid-journey, the festive spirit is in short supply.
Then Avery strikes up an unexpected connection with a dashing sailor who reminds her what magic really feels like. And Reed finds himself seeing his workmate in a whole new - and very unexpected - way.
As the snow falls and the Christmas lights twinkle, the Bond siblings discover that life has a funny way of surprising you. So, could a holiday hiccup turn into the season that changes everything?
