The Christmas Menagerie: A heartwarming Christmas romance

Amelia usually loves Christmas. But this year, it's her first one alone since losing her husband. Well... not quite alone.

Thanks to the infuriatingly handsome new village vet, who's shut down the local kennels, Amelia finds herself playing reluctant host to a chaotic parade of pets: a parrot with attitude, two sulky tortoises, and a mysterious swarm of baby mice.

As her home turns into a festive menagerie, Amelia ends up spending far more time with Jules the vet than she ever intended. And despite the villagers being up in arms, she's starting to enjoy his company far too much.

She keeps telling herself it's just a festive fling - Jules won't last the year in the village. But as Christmas approaches, Amelia's about to learn that love isn't just for the holidays...

A heartwarming, snow-dusted romance about healing and rediscovering the joy of Christmas through unexpected friendships.

Perfect for fans of cosy Christmas stories, unexpected second chances, and a few too many animals.
