A heart-warming and uplifting Christmas romance about second chances, family and having the courage to follow your heart.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Heart-warming, funny and enthralling, with engaging characters, a gripping plot line, and a loveable heroine in the tender-hearted Ria. I laughed and I cried. Perfect for fans of Marian Keyes.’ — Zoë Miller, author of The Birthday Weekend
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I loved this book! It’s full of heart and humour and real life complications.’ — Seána Tinley, award-winning Irish author
For Ria Joyce, love belongs in the past. But when she spots her ex-boyfriend Jon Donnelly via the Dublin–New York Portal, she wonders if it’s fate. Especially as it falls on her late husband’s anniversary, just before Christmas.
Then her daughter Amelie posts a photo of Jon, snapped at the Portal, together with a plea to help find him and, to Ria’s horror, the post goes viral.
When Nick Newland, host of the popular podcast, Sex and the Single Dad, asks Ria to appear on his show, she reluctantly agrees. And after Jon, AKA American thriller writer JL Walker, gets in touch, Nick sweeps her off to New York, to document the reunion for his hit podcast.
There, old feelings resurface. Amid twinkling lights, snowy streets and reawakened memories, Jon offers a second chance. But the mistakes of the past must be confronted before she can move forward into an unexpected future.
Will Ria take the ultimate leap of faith this Christmas?
