Ever since she met Englischer Chris Ellis while helping out at the Yellow Bird Inn, she can''t stop thinking about him.

This time, he is bleeding and in need of a place to hide. Against her better judgment, Beth takes him in and tends to his wounds. She also promises to keep his presence a secret.

Sosa’s characterization of Lina is masterfully nuanced... Romance fans are sure to be swept away by Sosa’s empathetic characters as they make the most of a ridiculous situation." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The plot is classic “enemies to lovers” and is executed perfectly... slow-burn romance done perfectly right... A captivating love story about two people who bring out the best in each other both professionally and personally." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "[A] fizzy rom-com..." — Entertainment Weekly (20 New Books to Read in February) "Bring on more books about Black (and brown) women in silly situations.

A brand-new heartwarming Christmas novel from the beloved New York Times bestselling author of The Bookshop on the Corner and Christmas at the Island Hotel. Laid off from her department store job, Carmen has perilously little cash and few options. The prospect of spending Christmas with her perfect sister Sofia, in Sofia’s perfect house with her perfect children and her perfectly ordered yuppie life does not appeal.Frankly, Sofia doesn’t exactly want her prickly sister Carmen there either. But Sofia has yet another baby on the way, a mother desperate to see her daughters get along, and a client who needs help revitalizing his shabby old bookshop. So Carmen moves in and takes the job.Thrown rather suddenly into the inner workings of Mr. McCredie’s ancient bookshop on the picturesque streets of historic Edinburgh, Carmen is intrigued despite herself.

What will happen when a famous and charismatic author takes a sudden interest in the bookshop—and Carmen? And will the Christmas spirit be enough to help heal her fractured family?
