Australian author Dimity Armstrong is visiting London, on the cusp of Hollywood success, when a devastating fall results in vision impairment. Retreating to her late great-aunt’s cottage in the Cotswolds to meet her looming book deadline, she arranges for an editor to help complete her latest steamy mystery novel. But when Vivian Edwards arrives at Bramble Cottage, Dimity discovers her carefully arranged plan has a major complication: Vivian is most definitely not the woman she was expecting, but a deep-voiced male editor who now must help her write the most intimate scenes of her career.

As Christmas approaches in the picture-perfect village, the cottage seems determined to work its legendary matchmaking magic. The antique dwelling has a history of bringing lonely hearts together during the holidays, and despite Dimity’s pragmatic nature, magical coincidences begin to pile up. With her confidence still shattered from childhood taunts, she struggles to believe that someone like Vivian could see beyond her ordinary appearance.

Meanwhile, Vivian finds himself increasingly drawn to the brilliant mind and resilient spirit behind the bestselling novels he’s long admired. As her deadline approaches, Dimity must decide whether to trust in the magic of the cottage and open her heart to honesty or retreat into the worlds she creates on the page, where she can control every happy ending but her own.

A heartwarming Christmas romance about learning to see with more than just your eyes and finding love where you least expect it.
