The Christmas Runaway
(2025)(The second book in the Christmas Tails series)
A novel by Jeannie Wycherley
Grace Pennington has had enough. Enough of the deadlines, the back-stabbing meetings and the dating apps that promise magic but deliver disappointment. When she’s unexpectedly fired from her high-pressure London job, she decides it’s a sign to run far away from stress, ambition and the city grind.
An Airbnb above a coffee shop in the small market town of Bramblecombe sounds perfect. Peaceful, quiet and blissfully free of boardrooms. Except Bramblecombe isn’t quite ready for Grace Pennington. With her designer heels, manicured nails and craving for matcha tea, she stands out like a snowflake in July.
When the coffee shop owner ends up in hospital, Grace finds herself roped into running the place. Suddenly she’s juggling cappuccinos, festive chaos and one pampered Havanese called Pickle who keeps slipping his lead. His rescuer, local vet Lyle Carter of The Old Forge Veterinary Surgery, is everything Grace isn’t '' calm, practical and more comfortable in muddy boots than city shoes.
As Christmas approaches, Grace begins to realise that maybe the best way to find yourself is to get a little lost first.
Heart-warming, funny and full of festive charm, The Christmas Runaway is a clean cosy romance novella perfect for dog lovers and anyone dreaming of a fresh start at Christmas.
Perfect for readers who love feel-good Christmas stories with dogs, laughter and slow-burn romance — fans of Cressida McLaughlin, Holly Martin, Sheila Roberts and Phillipa Ashley will adore it.
From the author of the ever-popular Wonky Inn books and the delightful Spellbound Hound series, Jeannie Wycherley brings you another comforting tale of love, humour and second chances at Christmas.
Genre: Romance
