Six months after a life-changing accident, Carys is looking for a fresh start. Life in the cosy village of Willowbrook has lost its charm, and Carys finds herself dreaming of a new adventure. Feeling restless, she jumps when she is offered the chance to run The Red Cat Café, an eccentric neighbourhood eatery in the centre of Paris, over the busy festive period.
Mathieu needs a change of pace. Stuck in a job he hates, the only time Mat feels truly in control is when he posts scathing anonymous restaurant reviews on his blog, Madame Incognito. Mat knows he is capable of more than online negativity, but he can’t seem to stop himself – especially when his follower count keeps growing . . .
When a chance encounter leads the two to meet, their connection is instant, and it seems like everything might fall into place. But the secrets they are keeping threaten to upturn everything, and put a stop to their blossoming romance before it has even begun. As the countdown to the holidays begins, can Carys open her heart enough to take a chance on love? And if she does, will all her dreams come true in time for Christmas?
