About this ebook

Curl up with three enchanting and beautifully written stories, about falling in love and second chances . . .

If you had one wish this Christmas, what would it be?

Sarah wishes that she didn't feel so lonely.

And she shouldn't be - not with her husband Eddie, and their two children.

But since she waved goodbye to the bright lights of the big city and moved to the country, her marriage is missing its usual sparkle.

And then Eddie's job takes him away from home just before Christmas.

Will his absence make her heart grow fonder? And if so, for whom?

As seasonal cheer begins to flow, Sarah discovers rather a lot can happen in one holiday . . . especially when it's Christmas.

You'll love this novella from No. 1 bestselling author Jane Green - and this edition also includes two more festive short stories by authors Jennifer Coburn and Liz Ireland.

I dont normally review books, but this one was absolutely terrible. I understand that it was 3 separate stories, each of them worse than the previous one. The plot of 'Second wife of Reilly' story made absolutely no sense, was it thought up by a 12 year old? Genuinely one of the worst books ive ever read, and I'm now grudging the £4 I paid for it.

About the author

Jane Green is a former journalist who gave up her job on the Daily Express to write a real woman's account of being single in the city. That account became Jane's first novel, Straight Talking. It was followed by nine more bestselling novels: Jemima J, Mr Maybe, Bookends, Babyville, Spellbound, The Other Woman, Life Swap, Second Chance and The Beach House. Jane lives in Connecticut with her husband, Ian Warburg, and their blended family of six children. www.janegreen.com

Jennifer Coburn spends the winter holidays at home with her with her family in San Diego, where the only way she notices the seasons changing is by checking the calendar. Holidays in Southern California are a bit different than New York City, where Coburn was born and raised. Mall Santas are tan and Mrs. Claus is rumored to be a Botox devotee. Jennifer burns her menorah candles from both ends working as a public relations consultant and writer.

Liz Ireland grew up in Texas, where all her Christmases except one were green. Her favorite gift ever was the yellow Schwinn bike (with a banana seat and white wicker basket) she got when she was nine. She now celebrates the holidays in Oregon with her husband and a menagerie of pets.
