As snowflakes fall like icing sugar, I smile at him and feel an unmistakeable spark. And I realise I don't just fancy the (taut, muscular) arse off this man - a man who probably doesn't even know I exist - but I actually like him... This Christmas, Rowan has a long list for Santa: - To get her sex life out of the Sahara- To stop being the lonely singleton in her friendship group (aka the prime target for blind dates that go horribly wrong)- To find out where her confidence went (note to self: check under sofa)- To have someone to curl up with this Christmas, other than a tin of Quality Street But having had more than her fair share of heartbreak thanks to her ex - with more off-agains and on-agains than Rachel and Ross - she's starting to think that real love is just wishful thinking... But Rowan's friends aren't so quick to give up, arranging an advent calendar to help get her spark back. And while the gifts make Rowan feel festive - glittery bubble bath, anyone? - what she really wants to unwrap is the guy who delivers them, Alex. With his soft Scottish accent, infectious grin and blue eyes as twinkly as fairylights, Rowan wouldn't mind finding him in her stocking this Christmas... Rowan has no clue how to put her heartache behind her and get his attention. Is she brave enough to open the door in mid-December wearing nothing but her new sexy lingerie and shiny lip gloss? Are twenty-five days enough to get her mojo back or will she have to send a strongly-worded letter to Santa after all...?

New Year's Eve. The most overrated night of the year, right? I have to get through a night of enforced fun, drink all the prosecco and talk about new beginnings. But I don't want new beginnings. I want my old beginning back. It's been ten days, two hours and forty-three minutes since Tansy got dumped. Two heartbreaking weeks since Renzo, who made her weak at the knees and dizzy with excitement, found out Tansy's secret - and ended it on the spot. Since then, she's spent every evening scrolling through their old photos, drunk texted him twenty-six times (he stopped reading after five), and lost count of how many packets of Kleenex she's cried her way through. That's where Operation Get Renzo Back comes in. She ropes in a new wing-woman, maxes out her credit card and accidentally-on-purpose bumps into him at every opportunity. Oh, and she finds a fake boyfriend, as you do... But while she's busy pretending, Tansy's plan is thrown a major curveball. She has to learn the hard way that it's not her, it's him - and that sometimes, a break-up can end up being the making of you. A fresh, funny and fabulous novel for anyone who has been dumped, got a post-break-up haircut, stalked an ex on Facebook, and then realised they were WAY better off without them. Fans of Sophie Kinsella, Lindsey Kelk and Matt Dunn will love this laugh-out-loud read.
