'Tis the season to be jolly… Or is it? Kate Marsh has it all: a perfect village to call home, a job she loves and an adorable, albeit grumpy, three-legged cat. There's only one problem: a developer is set on destroying the face of Appleford forever. Even worse, the face of the company is the charming Brandon Caine, a man Kate finds herself drawn to from their first meeting. Brandon Caine isn't the man Kate thinks he is: he isn't looking to destroy Appleford, only enhance it. With Christmas just around the corner, he is determined to show Kate, and the rest of Appleford, that he isn't the bad guy. As the holiday season draws near, and much to their friends' and families' delight, Kate and Brandon grow closer but the question remains: can Brandon prove to Kate that his feelings for her are not just for Christmas? Not Just For Christmas is the first in the Appleford series, perfect for fans of Pride & Prejudice, Cathy Bramley and Rachael Lucas. If you love sweet, cosy romances, quaint villages with larger than life characters, then this is the perfect book for you! Reading Order Book One: Not Just For Christmas Book Two: Lessons in Love
