Becky is stranded at the airport, so when she bumps into her brother’s best friend, Will, and he suggests they drive home together, Becky reluctantly agrees. For the first time, Becky is dreading Christmas, and only Will knows why. Can she trust him to keep her secret?
Her twin sister, Rosie, married Declan after a whirlwind romance, and now the cracks are starting to appear. Rosie and Declan have agreed to hide their problems from her family, but Rosie’s insecurities are growing. Will this Christmas bring them closer or drive them apart?
Hayley can’t wait for her first Balfour family Christmas with Jamie. The Balfour Christmas traditions sound wonderful, but she’s worried about her place in this close-knit family. Will there be room for her too? And how will they react to the secret she and Jamie have been keeping?
Despite everyone’s best intentions, all the chaos and confusion could derail their normally happy holidays. Can they tell each other the truth in time to enjoy a perfect family Christmas?

This was one of those books that just makes you feel good. There's plenty of holiday cheer. There are some complex characters, but they are all just...nice people. It is filled with some of my favorite romance novel tropes - fake dating, friends-to-lovers, only one bed - and they are well-executed. Was it a particularly challenging book to read? No. Did I need it to be? Also no. I spent the entire day smiling and laughing and truly enjoying myself as I read about these lovely people from this beautiful family enjoying a loud, chaotic, and joyful holiday together on the British seaside. I can't think of anything I would have rather done with my day today, and since this is only the second of Sarah Morgan's books I have read, I am excited to check out more of her back catalog.
