Daisy Kirk is a sucker for a love story, which is why she opened up her gift shop - because there’s nothing that makes Daisy happier than when she’s helped someone find the perfect Christmas gift for their loved one. And she does not just sell 'soppy presents and frilly pants', as her brother’s best friend, Eli, is fond of suggesting. But whilst Daisy is helping others with their love lives, hers is nonexistent. But when unusual circumstances take Daisy and Eli on a road trip from London to rural Wales, will she finally get the happily ever after to her own Christmas love story?

Jess has always held a candle for Dex - so when he comes back into her life after a school reunion, she couldn’t be happier. But something happened to Dex before he mysteriously left the area all those years before - something that still gives him terrible nightmares and makes him seem cold and distant. And then there are the rumours – rumours that Jess can’t bring herself to believe. But when the truth finally comes out, can Jess be the one to help Dex fight the demons from his past before they consume him completely?

When Evie is invited to the wedding of the guy she’d fancied throughout her teens, it’s the final straw. What’s wrong with her, and why can’t she keep a man? In between consoling herself with ice cream and chocolate and sobbing her heart out to her cousin Chamaine, Evie has a brainwave - and it all centres around her 'little black book' (well, more floral patterned notebook really), which contains the details of every man she’s ever kissed or dated. Perhaps the cure for her disastrous love life has been nestled within its pages all along....

Daisy’s job as a gift shop owner may involve selling chocolate truffles and lacy knickers, but this summer she finds herself turning her hand to a slightly different profession.... Daisy’s boyfriend, Eli, works for a secret government agency and, try as she might, Daisy can’t seem to help getting caught in the middle of his missions, which take her on a thrilling ride from the streets of Paris to a remote health retreat where carbs are banned! But when she finds that Eli might be in danger, Daisy has to stop playing at being a spy and become the real thing. Can she save the day?

Karen could be excused for crying on her birthday, especially as it’s the first one since her husband got on a plane to the States and never came back. Then there’s the fact that her workmates were practically bribed to attend her birthday meal. But when a restaurant double booking leads to her sharing a table with single dad Elliot and his daughter, things start looking up. 

There's a saying about all work and no play—but there's never a dull moment for Caroline working at Holly Walk Mall, especially at Christmas. When she's not dealing with orders from Ian, 'the manager who can’t manage' as her friend Rachel puts it, she's overseeing the usual late-night shopping sessions, Santa's grotto construction and, most importantly, the sampling of many delicious festive treats at the Italian café her friends Nina and Marco own. 

As a primary school teacher, Ava Lam is familiar with the 'buddy bench': a rainbow painted bench where sad or lonely children can sit to show they need a friend. But are buddy benches just for kids? Ava might have assumed so—until she finds herself sobbing her heart out on a park bench and a kind stranger sits down next to her. The stranger, Dr Sam Stone, has a house, an impressive job and he's even training for a marathon. But whilst Sam appears to have everything figured out, it seems he needs a sympathetic ear just as much as she does.
