Tuppenny Bridge

In Tuppenny Bridge, fresh snowfall carpets every cottage roof, turning the town into a shimmering wonderland of white. Beside a roaring fire in The White Hart Inn, rosy-cheeked families gather over mugs of hot chocolate. But despite the happy faces all around her, Clementine Grant can barely manage a smile… Clemmie has always been a romantic at heart, even going so far as to write her own regency romance novels… not that she'd EVER let anyone read them. But all that goes out the window when she spots her ex-boyfriend, Ross Lavender, across the frosty village green at a concert. Even worse, Clemmie is mortified when, in the village raffle, she picks the winning ticket. The prize? A portrait painted by Ross himself, who is a talented local artist. Burning with shame, Clemmie tries unsuccessfully to give it back. She'd rather forget the portrait and the man behind it – no way does she want to spend hours alone together. But then an unexpected snowstorm traps Clemmie and Ross in close quarters, and old emotions and secrets emerge from beneath the ice. With Clemmie's sweet Aunt Dolly clearly keeping something from her, and a potential new suitor – the charming Reuben Walker – stirring the pot, Clemmie's future is at a terrifying crossroads. Will the promise of new beginnings, help bridge the distance between two people who thought it was over for good? Or will the weight of the secret Clemmie's been carrying ever since they split up prove too heavy for her to bear? Pour a warm mug of cocoa, wrap yourself in a snuggly blanket, and dive into a story where love and secrets collide in the heart of Tuppenny Bridge.
