**Sophie Claire's sparkling new romance novel, This Christmas in Paris, is available to pre-order now!**

Could love be the biggest adventure of all?

Filmmaker Lily's life is all about work and adventure. So when she suffers an accident on her travels and finds herself recuperating in the quiet French seaside village where she spent her childhood, she can't wait to escape. Not least because Olivier - Lily's childhood friend and former crush, who she has spent the last thirteen years avoiding - is staying next door . . .

Strong-minded baker Olivier is happily settled in St Pierre, preparing to marry and put down roots. But Lily's return to the village risks turning his carefully-laid plans upside-down, and as the pair rediscover their familiar rivalry and fun, sparks fly.

Is Lily really as fearless and independent as she seems on the surface - or is she just running from the past? And what if Olivier is the only one who can teach her what it really means to be brave?

MEDIA REVIEWS

Enduring and endearing. A truly romantic read! Full of Sophie's trademark warmth and charm - Heidi Swain

A gorgeous read - lush and romantic in the best way, sweeping me off to the south of France where I could feel the sun on my face and smell the bread (baked by the lovely Olivier.) It was a breath of fresh air to have a heroine with a difference, like Lily, too, with an exciting career and not a picture of perfection - but very loveable - Phillipa Ashley

A gorgeous summery read with warm, interesting characters and a great storyline. I really enjoyed being whisked away to the French coast and countryside, and to Mamie's beautiful old farmhouse. The descriptions of the setting in Provence were so vivid, I wished I was there! - Caroline Roberts
