About the book
Dreaming of a white Christmas
After traveling the world with her parents, Lisa yearned for stability, roots and tradition. Marriage to solid, dependable Henry would help her achieve this ambition, but first she had to meet his parents!
Christmas in the snowbound Yorkshire Dales should have been a joyous occasion, but Henry's family home was as cold and chilly as his mother was aloof and unbending.
Rescue came in the unlikely guise of the exasperating Oliver Davenport. First, he made outrageous sexual innuendos in front of Henry's mother. Then he simply carried her off to his more welcoming home where he set about making all her Christmas fantasies come true...
