Falling Softly

There's more than one surprise in store this Christmas . . .

A sparkling, heart-warming novel by bestselling author Maria Duffy about first love and second chances.

Holly couldn't be happier.
Christmas, her favourite time of year, is only seven weeks away and her boyfriend has just popped the question. So what if their life together could use a bit more excitement, or if her future mother-in-law is already interfering in their wedding plans - this is the future that Holly wants. Isn't it?

Josh's future is all laid out too.
He and girlfriend Stephanie are moving into their brand new home and, with a baby on the way, they're about to enter an exciting chapter of their lives together. But something isn't quite right, and Josh can't put his finger on what.

As the festive season approaches, will Holly and Josh manage to push their doubts aside? Or will they find themselves wishing they were spending Christmas with someone else?
