He's the Ghost of Christmas Past. But she's not exactly Scrooge… Nolan Callahan intends to spend this holiday season exactly like every other; haunting the terrible people of Annapolis in his aimless existence as the Ghost of Christmas Past.

So, when Nolan is assigned the sweeter-than-candy-canes antique shop owner for his holiday haunting, neither of them have any idea why. To escape one another, Harriet and Nolan must unravel the threads that bind them together – all by Christmas Eve. Hand in hand, they uncover each other’s pasts, but why is it that Nolan doesn’t want to let go? And might Harriet be the key to giving the Ghost of Christmas Past … a future?

The day Clara started her new (dream) job as an assistant to her photography idol, she was met with an assumption that caught her off guard and stunned her silent.

Evan was recently dumped by her fellow teacher fiancée for a mutual co-worker and is still trying to figure out where it all went wrong. So when she gets the news the happy new couple will be hosting the staff's holiday party, she feels utterly horrified by her single status and looks for a quick solution. Together, these two life-long friends make a plan to get through the gallery opening and holiday party by pretending to date one another. Easy... right? That is until Clara starts developing real feelings for Evan, shocking herself. All the while Evan realizes that perhaps pretending to date your straight best friend, who you've had a crush on for half your life – isn't the best idea. ​​​​​​​Product Information: • ISBN: 9781835016640 • Author: Hannah Bonam-Young • Publisher: Bedford Square Publishers Ltd • Format: Paperback
