I’m assuming you don’t mean that literally.” Maya didn’t look convinced. “The competition are big players. They’re motivated.”

We need photographs that appeal to kids, or more specifically parents of kids. All those activities parents do at Christmas. Ice skating, reindeer—the client specifically mentioned reindeer,” he floundered and glanced around for inspiration, “doing what? I have no idea. Where does one even find a reindeer, apart from on the front of Alison’s sweater, obviously? And what do you do when you find one? Maybe someone could ride it. Yes! I love that idea.” One of the reasons Arnie was such a legend in the creative agency world was because he let nothing get in the way of his imagination. Sometimes that approach led to spectacular success, but other times… Stop! If you keep reminding me of the stakes I’ll be waving goodbye to calm.” Lucy pressed her hands to her burning cheeks. “I ran the last mile. Tell me honestly, does my face look like a tomato?” She sat, made miserable by memories, and then caught sight of Arnie’s face and felt guilty for being selfish and thinking about herself when he was going through hell. He was worrying about everyone’s futures.She opened her mouth and closed it again. Maybe it wasn’t a perfect idea. She needed to think about it, work it through in her head. But still… I admire your optimism, but I don’t want to raise my hopes and then have them crash around me. I love my job. Companies always say we ’ re a family and it’s usually a load of rubbish, but this one really does feel like a family. But it’s not as if you really need to worry. You’re brilliant at what you do. You’ll get another job easily.”

This Christmas the Miller siblings have one goal--to avoid their well-meaning family's endless stream of prying questions. Ross, Alice and Clemmie have secrets that they don't intend to share, and they are relying on each other to deflect attention. You don’t know that,” Rhea said. “We’ve lost two big accounts in the last month. Not our fault, I know, but the end result is the same.” Instead we get lots of daily blah blah blah and what every character in the house is thinking except for the grandmother who was the only interesting character in the whole story. In less than a minute she had a list of about ten people to call who might be able to help her with the Fingersnug. People she’d built a relationship with. People who would be only too happy to do her a favor, knowing that they’d be able to reclaim it in the future.

Rebel Ross,” Lucy murmured and saw Arnie glance at her with a question in his eyes. “I read an article—last year, I think. That was the title. ‘Rebel Ross.’ All about how he was the first generation not to go into the family business. He wanted to strike out on his own. The implication was that he and his father were like two stags fighting over their territory, although given the way Miller Active has grown I’m assuming he has proved himself by now. There was a lot about the family. Grandmother—can’t remember her name. Jane, maybe? No, it was Jean. His father is Douglas, still at the helm of Glen Shortbread. His mother is Glenda, she’s been involved with the business from time to time, although I’m not sure she still is. There are three children—Ross, obviously. He’s the eldest. Then Alice, who is a doctor, and Clemmie, who—I don’t know what she does.”

Sunday Times bestselling author Sarah Morgan writes romance and contemporary women's fiction and her trademark humour and warmth have gained her fans across the globe. She has sold over twenty-one million books worldwide. Arnie was right. Whatever they came up with, had to be creative and the idea bubbling in her brain was certainly a little different. Too much to do.” He rubbed his hand across his chest again. “I need to make some calls. Start putting together some ideas ready for January.” If I could describe this book in one sentence, it would be ‘Christmas gift wrapped in a big festive bow and sprinkled with a dusting of snow’. Perfect for fans of this genre or anyone just wanting to escape life to the Highlands of Scotland with a family who adore Christmas, have a log fire burning and a jolly Christmas lunch in the planning. We probably all have a family member that we can compare to Nanna Jean, she’s the perfect ‘Hallmark’ movie channel nana and her one liners and attitude to life was so funny and refreshing.

Excerpt

And if you aren't already a fan of this author then frankly you have been missing out on years and years worth amazing books, from an especially talented queen of romance, and queen of the festive read! In all honesty, my only disappointment, and it was more of a surprise than a true disappointment, Lucy and Ross don't actually meet until we're about a third of the way into the book. That said, it provides ample time for us to get to know the various players in this story, both their strengths and weakness. We also discover they have secrets. Don't all families? In other words, they come across as real people we could know and probably embrace as family given the chance.

Snowed in for Christmas” is Sarah Morgan’s latest women’s fiction novel and is her festive offering for 2022. She was intimidated by gyms and she had no reason to wear sportswear. Her exercise regime involved racing round London meeting clients and influencers, and scoping out new cool places to include in their visual campaigns. An emotional, uplifting and heart-warming winter novel that's perfect for those chilly nights in' OK! Yes, but their last campaign was uninspired. That’s just my opinion, obviously, but that doesn’t mean I’m not right. Miller Active has a strong customer base, but seem unable to expand beyond that. They’re going to be shopping around in the New Year. They need us. And it’s our job—” Arnie waved a hand at the team seated around the table “—to persuade them of that fact. Over the next few weeks, I want you to come up with some ideas that will blow them away. Then we need to find a way to get those ideas in front of Ross Miller. It will be our number one priority for the New Year.”
