    About this audiobook

    The sparkling Christmas audiobook from the Sunday Times bestselling author Heidi Swain!

    When Anna takes on the role of companion to the owner of Wynthorpe Hall, on the outskirts of Wynbridge, she has no idea that her life is set to change beyond all recognition.

    A confirmed ‘bah humbug’ when it comes to Christmas, Anna is amazed to find herself quickly immersed in the eccentric household, and when youngest son Jamie unexpectedly arrives home it soon becomes obvious that her personal feelings are going all out to compromise her professional persona.

    Jamie, struggling to come to terms with life back in the Fens, makes a pact with Anna – she has to teach him to fall back in love with Wynthorpe Hall, while he helps her fall back in love with Christmas. But will it all prove too much for Anna, or can the family of Wynthorpe Hall warm her heart once and for all...?

    Join Anna for a festive journey festooned with sleigh rides and silver bells and help her discover her happy-ever-after.

      Excellent author!! I have found a new favorite. These books are so well written. Love the humor and seriousness in each book.
    • 5/5
      I’m addicted now. To Heidi’s heart rich stories and Karen’s playful performances.
    • 3/5
      Fluffy and fun, heartwarming. The expected two last chapters towards the climax fell short for me but it's not like I didn't know how the story would end.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed the book immensely but the audiobook kept skipping chapters - chapter 7 came up with a loading screen and 8 wouldn’t even load. This happened again with 25-28, which were just skipped over entirely, and finally chapter 31 was missed out too. Can this be fixed so other listeners are spared my frustration? Thank you Scribd. Great book nonetheless.
    • 3/5
      The writing and the storyline we're good. I liked the characters, too. Unfortunately, I had to write it down because of bad language and premarital s-x at the end. It was obviously added for ratings and not for the storyline.
