Love in the Lakes Series

Book 1

A heartwarming Christmas romance where love, legacy, and a little holiday magic save the day.

When Emma Bishop unexpectedly inherits her beloved Aunt Clara’s charming bookshop in the picturesque village of Rowandale, it’s anything but the Christmas miracle she imagined. Fir Tree Books is struggling to stay afloat, and the pressure to save the shop is compounded by a pushy developer eager to buy it—and Emma’s doubts about leaving her high-stress job in London for a life she never planned.

As the snow falls and the villagers rally to keep the bookshop open, Emma discovers surprising secrets about Clara’s past and the little shop’s deeper meaning. Among the discoveries is a promise Emma made to Clara the Christmas before—words that now seem to echo through time, urging her to follow her heart.

Emma finds an unlikely ally in Jack, Clara’s former business partner, whose gruff exterior hides a fierce determination to honour his father’s legacy in the shop. But, as tensions rise and sparks fly between Emma and Jack, they must work together to uncover the bookshop’s hidden treasure—one that might solve their problems and light the way to a future neither expected.

In the heart of winter, with the magic of Christmas in the air, Emma must decide if she can let go of her fast-paced life and embrace the love, hope, and community waiting for her in Rowandale.
