The most delightful Christmas romance.
Shell Smith is the most popular make-up artist on the ART counter at Duke & Sons, a beautiful but old-fashioned department store in her hometown. But whilst Shell’s love life is looking up, now that she’s dating long-time crush Nick, and business is booming in the beauty department, the rest of the store is noticeably quiet . . .
The owner’s grandson Callum has come up with some creative ways to keep Duke & Sons afloat this Christmas, including allowing a production company to secretly film a romcom after hours. When Callum recruits her to help out, Shell finds there is more to Mr Duke Jr. than sharp suits and a business-like demeanour.
With a store to save and her own romance with Nick going off-script, Christmas just got complicated for Shell. But this is the most wonderful time of the year, so there must be a happy ending awaiting . . . Right?

I fell in love with Shell and this refreshing, realistic cast of characters. A book that's about so much more than 'Christmas'
Someday at Christmas is the perfect festive story. Sweet, blissfully romantic and bursting with heart, it's completely gorgeous. It's funny, fresh and modern sprinkled with all the magic of a classic Christmas tale. Oh my heart, I loved it!
Warm-hearted, funny and glittering with Christmas magic. I adored my visit behind the scenes at delightful department store Duke & Sons. Someday at Christmas is a gorgeous festive treat.
You will fall in love with Shell Smith
The literary equivalent of a mince pie warm out of the oven, with a dollop of brandy custard on the side
Adorable
I read Someday at Christmas in a bath I kept topping up, with a glass of port and a mince pie beside me. It's a gorgeous, cosy read, rich in delicious wintery detail, and Shell is a heroine who'll stay with me, one I was rooting for (both professionally and personally) from page one. In the midst of a strange year, it made me nostalgic for visiting the make-up counter, for occasions that call for great lipstick, for crowded nights in the pub, and for shameless flirting fueled by Christmas cheer.
