Fen and Rami are work colleagues at the Manchester prison and are on the cusp of exploring their connection to each other further when circumstances drive them apart for 18 months.
Fen, the former prison officer, is such a gentle, soft hearted soul who finds himself back at his childhood home on Christmas Mountain. Rami is a probation officer who is blunt, not afraid to swear and burdened by the unexpected changes in his life. So much so that he impulsively decides to visit his sister who, unbeknownst to him is a neighbour to Fen.
So begins a beautifully written slow burn romance between two wonderful characters who unexpectedly get a second chance to explore the chemistry between them. It is not an easy, straightforward journey for them with some angst and drama before their longed for HEA is achieved in this enjoyable and engaging Christmas romance.
