Donna Ashcroft Knihy

Tridsaťročná Belle Albanyová sa počas týchto Vianoc cíti osamelo. Prešiel ďalší celý rok a jej život je... presne taký istý ako v decembri minulého roka. Túži po prežití zimného kúzla a po pravej láske, hoci sa už takmer vzdala nádeje, že ju niekedy nájde. Keď Belle na svojom čerešňovočervenom bicykli narazí do staršej Ediny, nie je to stretnutie, v aké dúfala. Okamžite však spozná stratený pohľad v Edininých modrých očiach a rozhodne sa, že pre obe zorganizuje nezabudnuteľné Vianoce plné koláčov a vareného vína s čarovnou atmosférou. No Belle nepočítala s tým, že Edinin dom je rozpadajúci sa škótsky hrad, a určite nečakala, že sa uprostred snehovej búrky objaví na prahu dverí jej príťažlivý, dávno stratený vnuk Jack Hamilton-Kirk. Je arogantný a panovačný a Belle je presvedčená, že má v pláne zničiť sviatočnú pohodu, na ktorej vytvorení tvrdo pracovala. Je to v podstate Grinch v ľudskej podobe, tak prečo sa jej srdce rozbúši vždy, keď sú v jednej miestnosti?
