Christmas at Cherry Tree Cottage ebook

Welcome to Little Ivymead, where love blooms even in the depths of winter, and Christmas magic works in unexpected ways.

When London event planner Poppy Winters needs to escape the chaos of celebrity parties—and memories of last year’s heartbreaking Christmas Eve—a house swap to the charming village of Little Ivymead nestled in the heart of Hampshire’s South Downs seems the perfect solution. All she wants is peace, quiet, and absolutely no romance.

But life in the countryside has other plans. Between an escaped cow, a mischievous Yorkshire terrier bearing gifts, and a handsome toymaker with a talent for rescuing her from various village mishaps, Poppy’s quiet Christmas retreat is turning into anything but boring.

Scott Bishop gave up city life and returned to his childhood home to follow his passion for creating hand-crafted toys. He’s content with his quiet life—until Poppy arrives, bringing with her fresh ideas, festive chaos, and a spark that makes him wonder if something has been missing all along.

As they work together to make the village Christmas fair a success, Poppy finds herself falling not just for Scott, but for the whole community. Yet with her London life waiting, can she really trust this glimpse of a different future? And can Scott convince her that sometimes the best presents can’t be wrapped?

A warm, feel-good romance about finding home in unexpected places, perfect for fans of Heidi Swain, Holly Martin and Christie Barlow.
