This Christmas, the nation’s favourite life coach is in desperate need of a little holiday magic.

Alex Nixon has built a glittering TV career teaching clients how to win at life. But when a disastrous viral awards speech reveals that she has zero friends, her family is a mess and her boyfriend has just dumped her, Alex hunkers down in her cottage to hide from the media storm. Her plan? Survive the festive season with only her rescue dog, Ernest, for company.

But she didn’t count on stumbling into the eccentric and welcoming ‘Friends Wanted’ club. And she definitely didn’t count on meeting Will – a gorgeous, warm-hearted single dad raising three chaotic but charming children.

When a devastating family crisis turns Alex’s fragile new life upside down, she has a choice to make. Should she batten down the hatches or let go of her perfect façade long enough to discover that a Christmas filled with new friends and real love is the greatest gift of all?

**Curl up with this heart-warming, joy-spreading, unputdownable story of friendship, family and festive forevers. Perfect for fans of Jill Mansell, Sarah Morgan and Jenny Colgan! **
