From the author of Christmas at the Marshmallow Café and Autumn in Sycamore Park... Young teacher Charlotte Harding is preparing her class at Brentwell Primary for the Christmas festival when she suddenly has to deal with a personal tragedy. Kind-hearted Jacob Black is struggling to balance work at his aunt's tearoom while caring for his sick mother and volunteering at the local children's home. When they run into each other, it seems that Christmas romance could be in the air, but a black cloud is approaching, in the form of Jacob's stepbrother, world famous magician and master illusionist James Steamblack. Returning to Brentwell for a sold-out theatre production, it is unlikely he will let Jacob's life run smoothly, considering the tragic circumstances within which he left a decade before. Returning to Brentwell for Christmas, CP Ward's readers will be delighted with this new romantic comedy in which the course of true love definitely won't run smooth.
