Description
Can their marriage be mended in time for Christmas?
Lottie has always been thrifty. As a mother of three, it's even more important that she stretches the household budget as far as possible. Luckily, Lottie’s penchant for taking broken items and upcycling them has worked wonders for living on a shoestring.
Henry can’t face telling Lottie he’s been made redundant. Instead, he pretends to go to work as usual while frantically job hunting. The race is on to find another role before Lottie discovers he’s another useless item for her collection – one that is beyond repair.
Christmas is a time for giving, but will Lottie give Henry another chance if she learns about his lies? And can Henry give Lottie and their kids the life he so desperately wants them to have?
A wonderfully warm and lighthearted married romance for fans of Holly Martin and Phillipa Ashley.

A modern version of the Gift of the Magi, where a couple wants only to please their partner, mistaking physical objects with the things that matter most; love, respect, and trust. A lovely Christmas story

This is a lovely, heart-warming, Christmassy read. In a very realistic novel, Lottie and Henry struggle to communicate about his redundancy which leads to Lottie growing very suspicious. The chapters alternate between Henry and Lottie.
A well-written, engaging book that is such a sweet read. I would highly recommend this book, during the upcoming festive season.

I'm absolutely loving this cute series set by the coast in Wales. Such gorgeous escape read about Lottie and Henry. Henry has been made redundant and is reluctant to tell his wife. He's acting suspicious in Lotties eyes, so she thinks he's having an affair.
I just love this couple, but I wish they would talk to each other! Narrated by Claire Morgan, I just love her Welsh accent, I could listen to her all day long.
