Stella's Christmas Wish

Book excerpt: Six days before Christmas, Stella must rush home to Scotland when her grandmother is taken to hospital. As she reconnects with her past, old flames are rekindled, and as Christmas fast approaches, Stella begins to wonder if her most heartfelt wish can come true? Uprooted from her life in London and back in her childhood home of the Scottish borders, Stella is soon faced with relationships which have lain dormant for years. New opportunities present themselves, but will Stella dare to take them... Fans of Christie Barlow, Jenny Hale, Holly Martin and the festive glow of Christmas lights will fall in love with this romantic Christmas treat. What readers have been saying about Stella's Christmas Wish: "A delightful, warm-hearted Christmas read which I thoroughly enjoyed." - Portobello Book Blog "This book feels like you should be snowed in somewhere, preferably in the country, with a nice armchair, warm blanket, hot chocolate and a sleeping cat ... a sweet story about family and friends." - Bookaholic Swede "Finally we discover what the Christmas Wish of the title is based on and sigh contentedly. Curl up and enjoy..." - Anne Stenhouse "A festive family drama with a liberal fairy-dust sprinkling of romance ... Kate Blackadder has created characters which are a delight to spend time with. Warm a glass of mulled wine, forget the Christmas to-do list... and enjoy!" - Rae Cowie
