To a Blissful Christmas Reunion

TO A BLISSFUL CHRISTMAS REUNION Timeslip Romance

Not a lover. No longer even a friend?

Lucy Cairns and Gabriel Bliss were inseparable once. But when Gabe returns after years away and rents land from Lucy's millionaire father for a tree nursery, their relationship is far from blissful.

Especially in the run-up to Christmas.

Christmas trees are a cash crop for Gabe's struggling nursery, even though he hates Christmas. Lucy, too, has painful memories of the festive season, but she needs Gabe's help to find the perfect tree for the manor house and the business guests who will be arriving on Christmas Eve. The pair are forced into each other's company.

Gabe remains professional and distant. His time away has changed him, though he won't say why. He refuses to get close to Lucy, insisting there's too much of a gulf between the millionaire's daughter and a struggling, dirty-fingered son of the soil like him.

But then he chances on a 19th century image of Lucy's manor house with the master and mistress standing proudly outside the main door.

A married couple who look exactly like Gabe and Lucy...
