Escape to the country this Christmas in this delightful festive read from bestselling author Veronica Henry. 'As fruity as a mince pie' SUNDAY EXPRESS Christmas is coming to Honeycote House and Lucy Liddiard is busy whipping up a feast of festive treats (all with an extra dash of brandy!) for her nearest and dearest. She knows this year's celebrations need to be extra special - their beloved Cotswolds brewery is struggling and Lucy is sure that the secret her husband Mickey is hiding isn't a diamond necklace in her stocking... As the scent of cinnamon fills the air and the glamorous guests start to arrive, Lucy suspects there might be a few more secrets waiting underneath the Christmas tree... It's certainly going to be a holiday to remember!
