The Christmas Wish

By Lindsey Kelk

How do you fall in love with someone who can’t remember you from one day until the next?

‘Absolutely hilarious, engaging and fun’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review

Newly single lawyer Gwen Baker needs a family Christmas to bury her woes, with festive films, country walks and a mountain of chocolate.

Her teenage crush Dev is back in their small village as well – and it turns out he’s just as kind, funny and good-looking as she remembers.

But then Gwen wakes up to discover it’s Christmas all over again. She’s trapped in a snowy Groundhog Day. But would repeat meet-cutes with Dev really be so bad for a heart that needs mending?
