A cozy holiday romance set in London, by Caroline W. Barnes
Fairy lights, mince pies, chosen family… and maybe a kiss under the snow.
Looking for your next festive read?
A Very British Christmas is a short, heartwarming holiday romance perfect for readers who love:

Sam just wanted a perfect British Christmas. She didn’t expect London to give her so much more than fairy lights.
When a house in Kensington opens its doors to her, Sam is swept into a December season filled with new friendships, chaotic dinners, cheesy music, hot drinks, and the kind of moments that make you feel at home, even miles away from everything you knew.
It’s a story about starting over, embracing imperfection, and letting the holidays surprise you. At the heart of it all? A warm, soft romance you didn’t see coming.
