"After a bad break-up, eternal optimist Evie Miller moves to a small village to finally pursue her dream of opening a craft shop. Love is the last thing on her mind, especially when the potential for romance in the village seems to start and stop with hostile local Jake Hartwood. With Christmas just around the corner, wounded Evie is determined to escape the festivities, and it turns out Jake feels the same. But love is completely off the cards when they run away to a remote villa in Provence to escape the season, isn't it?"--Publisher.
