The Night Before Christmas
Published by Bloodhound Books
Felicity Brooks is a bit of a Scrooge—but when she meets a man dressed as a giant penguin on Christmas Eve, could it spell a change of heart?
The ridiculous music. The excessive presents. The stupid Christmas sweaters. Felicity wants nothing more than to escape it all, and she pounces on the chance to work shifts over the holiday season at an animal rescue center. After all, it’s the only place that brings her true happiness.
But one day, her evening is disturbed by a stranger named James—dressed as a penguin and cradling a weak kitten. As Felicity and James work together to nurse the sick feline back to health, it gives them the perfect excuse to bond over their mutual dislike of all things festive. And soon, sparks fly.
However, their attraction is interrupted when Felicity’s ex-boyfriend Adam returns to declare his undying love. And when she’s let down by both men, Felicity decides to return to her childhood home for some peace. While there, she uncovers an array of family secrets, and even more about herself—which may just help her to make a choice between the penguin and the ex . . .
“Romantic, funny, and touching, Felicity’s story of falling in love with Christmas is wonderful. I loved every word. Better than a warm mince pie on a snowy day.” —Stephanie Butland, bestselling author of Lost for Words and Found in a Bookshop
“Could reconnecting with Christmas, lead to falling in love?” —Heidi Swain, Sunday Times–bestselling romance author
