Holly Tree Cottage
. It's where she finally felt like she belonged – and where she first fell in love. So when she spots her family's old holiday cottage in a magazine, she books a Christmas break there on impulse, hoping the cottage can work its magic on her once again.
Entering the cottage after twenty years away feels like coming home. But it's her reunion with

Or can she finally find the courage to fight for the love that always felt meant to be?
