The Christmas Countdown

By: Donna Ashcroft

Narrated by: Kristin Atherton

This Christmas, one special advent calendar could turn a quiet winter stay into a season of fun, hope, and unexpected love.

Heartbroken, twenty-seven-year-old Holly Devine retreats to her quirky Aunt Clara's cottage to hide away for the holidays. But Aunt Clara has other plans—she crafts an advent calendar, each door revealing a new challenge to pull Holly out of her slump. Soon, Holly finds herself asking out charming pub landlord Finn Jackson, building giant snowmen, and even belting out karaoke.

As Finn joins in her festive tasks, Holly starts to rediscover joy—and maybe love. But when a secret from Finn's past threatens it all, will Holly dare to open her heart?

A feel-good Christmas romance about taking chances, finding yourself, and falling in love when you least expect it. Perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Debbie Johnson, and Debbie Macomber.
