In her cozy little bookshop just outside London, Sadie St. Claire spends her evenings typing away on an old typewriter she found in the attic.
Surrounded by twinkling Christmas lights, hot tea, and a touch of festive cheer, she creates the world she secretly longs for – one filled with warmth, friendship, love, and plenty of holiday sparkle.
Until something impossible happens.
On a stormy night, as the lights in her shop begin to flicker, Sadie pulls the plug of her miniature Christmas village… and wakes up in another world.
A world that feels like a dream.
A world where everything is exactly as she wrote it on her old typewriter.
Or is it?
Something’s missing…
Will it be the charming farmer, Shane, with whom she thought she’d written her own love story? Or the handsome stranger who turns her carefully crafted world upside down?
Who is he, why does he make her heart race, and how will this story end?
As Sadie loses herself in the warmth, laughter, and magic of the enchanting village of Lockemere, she begins to wonder:
How real can a life be when it might only exist between the lines of a story?
A charming, heartwarming Christmas romance about love, laughter, second chances – and the magic that begins when you finally believe.
