Kissing Father Christmas

Bestselling and award-winning author Robin Jones Gunn returns readers to the cozy English village of Carlton Heath, with a winter romance to melt their hearts.

A year-and-a-half ago, Anna Bjorksen flew from Minnesota to the cozy English town of Carlton Heath to attend the wedding of her cousin, Ian Whitcombe, to an American woman named Miranda. It was a beautiful affair, and one that ended with Anna receiving an unexpected–and unforgettable–kiss from the groomsman, Peter Warton.

Now having lost her father whom she was caring for due to his ailing health, Anna is looking for a fresh start. She’s decided to return to the quaint and beautiful Carlton Heath. She’ll enjoy endless indulgent hours of creating watercolor images of everything inspiring she encounters. She’s also looking forward to catching up with Miranda, who is happy to have another American woman in the village.

But her biggest apprehension rests in the likelihood of coming face-to-face with Peter again. She’s caught glimpses of him playing with his little sister that warm her heart, but she hasn’t forgotten how Peter broke her heart. When they do meet again, Anna feels the same excitement she remembered feeling around Peter, and he shares a shocking secret with her that sheds light on their past. If Anna is able to accept it, she’ll begin a wonderful journey toward the future God has blessed for her.
