Will a New York Christmas lead to all she never knew she wanted?
After the worst year of her life, speechwriter and introvert Flora Bell is looking forward to a calm Christmas: home, alone and as peaceful as possible. But when her chaotic mum and sister turn up out of the blue to take Flora on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to New York, it's clear the universe has other ideas.
When Flora meets cartoonist Ethan in a Greenwich Village coffee shop – who asks for her help to write a best man's speech – fate and joy seem to be taking the wheel for the first time in her life.
But just as she dares to believe her New York fairytale might be coming true, she discovers something that changes everything.
Will Flora ever be able to reclaim her quiet existence?
Or will the bells of New Year's Eve ring in a new life altogether?
