Forever Unexpected

By Emma L. Stevens

Welcome to Merrimere.

After a life-shattering ordeal, Nancy escapes to a snow-dusted village in the Lake District. Merrimere offers quiet mornings, crackling fires, and the space to regroup.

Ryker's life is built on routine. Work, his daughter, sleep. His world is steady, controlled ... and completely upended by the arrival of a woman wrapped in chaos.

Nancy doesn't arrive quietly. And before either of them quite understands how, she's folded herself into the rhythm of the village-and into Ryker's carefully ordered days.

As Christmas settles over Merrimere, Nancy begins to feel anchored for the first time in a long while. And suddenly, Ryker is wondering what his life might look like with someone else in it.

Starting over means choosing what to hold on to ... and what to let change.

Forever Unexpected is a heart-warming, cosy Christmas romance set in a charming UK village, perfect for readers who love small-town magic, found family, and slow-burn love.
