A winter tale of love rekindled in a cherished York bookstore.

Megan Taylor, a young widow, finds comfort in organising book clubs and author events in her family bookstore nestled within the snow-dusted cobbled streets of York.

When prize-winning author Xander Stone literally bumps into her and trashes her taste in books, Megan can sense that her self-imposed hibernation from romance might be at an end. Their view on literature clash, leading to animated debates that breathe a new passion into her life, but will it be enough to thaw their frozen hearts? Furthermore, the bookshop is in financial trouble and Megan finds herself precariously poised, juggling the shop's survival with the flickering sparks of new love.

Amidst snow flurries and seasonal magic, "A Bookshop Christmas" promises to delight the hearts of bookworms and romantics alike.

A Grumpy x Sunshine, Slow Burn Romance perfect for fans of Kiley Dunbar, Kate Forster and Donna Ashcroft.

A lovely book to lose yourself in. Great characters and just the right amount of romance, a perfect read any time of year.

Jesse C, Reviewer - 4 stars

A sweet, wholesome Christmas book with a literary twist. Lots of fun references to famous and even contemporary romances and the narrator was so soothing. A perfect audiobook to get lost in

Kristen G, Bookseller - 5 stars

Christmas bookishness alights in this snowy romance as the main characters work through their own issues and begin to move on... with each other. The poignant plight of independent bookstores and the shared death of loved ones is balanced with the hilarious and historical Regency Christmas party and the romance book club to end all book clubs.

Rachel Burton has been making up stories for as long as she can remember and always dreamed of being a writer until life somehow got in the way. After reading for a degree in Classics and another in English Literature she accidentally fell into a career in law. Eventually, she managed to write her first book during her lunch breaks. Now she writes from a small bedroom looking out over hydrangeas, lavender bushes and rambling roses, in a little house in Yorkshire.
