About the Book
Nestled amongst the comforting shelves of her beloved Bay Books, newly single Lily Appleton finds the peace and quiet she needs. But with Christmas just around the corner, Lily has to find an extra pair of hands to help her share the bookish magic.
After selling his business, Lars Jóhannsson is feeling like a character in a book awaiting his next plot twist! A job at Bay Books would give him the space he needs to contemplate his next move. He has fond memories of the bookshop in the bay, but returning there would mean confronting a painful past he’s been avoiding. It would also mean working with Lily and he’s fairly sure he’s the one person she’d never want to see again.
When Lily spots Lars’s job application, she’s torn. Lars could be the perfect fit for Bay Books, but the boy she thought she knew rejected her friendship many years ago and the hurt still lingers. With time ticking, Lily has no option but to take a chance on Lars, hoping his unexpected application turns out to be for the best.
Working together, Lily discovers a vulnerability that Lars has kept hidden away, along with a few surprising secrets. As the Christmas season sprinkles its magic, Lily discovers the warmth of renewed friendship and the joy of heartwarming traditions from Lars’s Icelandic roots.
And perhaps, surrounded by the quiet magic of the season and the soft glow of festive lights, there’s the possibility of finding a love as enchanting as the Northern Lights on a winter’s night.
