Blurb:

Sophie once loved everything about Christmas — the fairy lights, mince pies, velvet bows — but after being jilted by her fiancé, the magic disappeared. She leaves behind her old life and opens Sunnyside Hotel, a cosy guesthouse tucked into the Cumbrian countryside. But despite the winter setting, Sophie runs her hotel as a Christmas-free zone.

Her goal is simple: offer a refuge to people who want to skip the usual festive chaos. She fills her guesthouse with guests who avoid the same seasonal traditions she once adored. As she welcomes people, she builds a small, private world — yet her own heart remains guarded.

Everything changes when Sophie’s neighbour, Brody — a handsome local vet — begins to break through her defences. Their friendship grows slowly, warmed by shared moments, long conversations, and unexpected snowfall. Sophie begins to wonder if Christmas might still have a place in her life after all.

With her hotel perched in snow-covered hills, Sophie must decide whether she can trust again. Can she open her heart — and her holiday — to someone new, or will she keep her emotional distance for good? Escape for Christmas is a warm, feel-good romance about second chances, healing, and finding joy when you least expect it.
