Christmas with the Lords: The perfect uplifting Christmas romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781805082811)

Urgently wanted: A nanny for Christmas. Seeking an adventurous nanny to work for the aristocratic Lord family at their country estate. Must love naughty dogs, mischievous children and have a high tolerance for Christmas chaos. Room and board provided.

Penny Windlesham is stunned when her long-term boyfriend suddenly dumps her, leaving her with a broken heart just in time for Christmas. At a loose end, she accepts a job as a short-term nanny to a family she's never met. Climbing aboard a train bound for the Dorset countryside, a tear rolls down her cheek. Alone, working and amongst strangers... could her Christmas be any less magical?

As she crunches up the family's frost-covered drive, Penny's spirits lift when she glimpses her home for the next month: an enormous manor house, its windows glowing with firelight and festooned with twinkling holly. And, as she settles into her role caring for the adorable Lord children, she finds herself surrounded by a quirky cast of characters, including loveably frazzled Spanish chef Pilar and the children's grouchy uncle, Lando Lord.

Despite Penny's attempts to avoid him, the darkly handsome Lando seems to be everywhere - hanging around like Scrooge amidst the happy present-wrapping and gingerbread baking. Apparently he wasn't always this way... is there some secret reason he's so cranky at Christmas?

When Lando is commissioned to carve a beautiful new Nativity scene for the local church, Penny blushingly agrees to be his model, and a sudden spark flickers between them. But it's not long before the past comes knocking, and Penny discovers exactly why Lando left his old life behind...

With Christmas Day fast approaching, Penny faces a life-changing choice. Should she return to the city and let Christmas with the Lords be a cherished memory, or could this crazy holiday adventure be the first step into a life she never dreamed was possible?

A heartwarming and feel-good holiday story full of Christmas magic! Fans of Beth Moran, Donna Ashcroft and Trisha Ashley will love Christmas with the Lords.
