Читать книгу The Millionaire's Mistletoe Mistress - Natalie Anderson - Страница 6

Dear Reader,

I do love Christmas – from the songs I’ve heard and sung a zillion times, to the crazy race in the supermarket for the last pack of strawberries, to the corny cracker jokes and the silly presents we tease each other with. And of course the coming together of family and friends that occasionally brings its own complications!

But sometimes Christmas can be harder – when one is far from home, lonely or has lost someone all too recently. The jollity is shadowed with pain both past and present. At those moments in the season, I try to find the little things to take pleasure in – an act of kindness, sharing something small with someone even smaller or perhaps much older, or, hey, maybe reading a book with a happy ending!

My heroine Imogen is lonely and working in a store surrounded by the trappings of Christmas. Mostly she adores this, but sometimes it is a reminder of what she doesn’t have this year. So I wanted to give her the fairytale, the finding of home and happiness that many of us long for at Christmas. For me it’s a time of tradition, of family, of forgiveness, of looking forwards and back, but mostly of being and sharing together.

And so I do hope you have a wonderful Christmas and get to spend time, love and laughter with your nearest and dearest.

With very best wishes,

Natalie
