Jodie Simpson's life is falling apart.

She has lost her girlfriend, Gemma, her job and is about to be kicked out of her flat. When she mistakenly opens a letter addressed to Gemma and finds a job offer to work at the Highland Cookery School, she makes a momentary decision that will change her life forever.

Jodie heads to the Scottish Highlands to begin her new job - as Gemma. But it all starts to work a little too well, and she finds herself loving her new life at the cookery school. As the snow starts to settle and the festive magic cast its spell, she finds herself falling for Pavel, the estate caretaker.

But Jodie cannot keep up her fake identity forever and a storm is brewing. If she tells the truth, will she lose the new life she has built for herself, and the man who might just be The One?

An uplifting romcom for fans of Sarah Morgan, Heidi Swain and Katie Ginger will adore.

Helen McAlpine has narrated over 100 audiobooks mainly in the romance genre including Sue Moorcroft’s The Skye Sisters Trilogy and many Warhammer titles.
