Showroom Sample Contemporary & Romance Fiction Bargain Book Box SP4032

Eighteen contemporary romance and Christmas fiction titles from the biggest names in the genre — Sue Moorcroft, Jo Thomas, Lesley Pearse, Cathy Bramley, Karen Swan, Dilly Court, Danielle Steel, and more — with a strong Christmas theme running through much of the box and Julia Quinn's Bridgerton alongside. Please note these are showroom sample copies and may have a small sticker on the cover and show light signs of wear.

1. A White Christmas on Winter St. — Sue Moorcroft — A Sunday Times bestseller in which two people with complicated pasts are thrown together on a snow-covered street in the run-up to Christmas. Moorcroft delivers the seasonal romance formula with real warmth and pace.
2. Keeping a Christmas Promise — Jo Thomas — A woman who has sworn never to return to Iceland finds herself spending Christmas there and slowly falling for the rugged landscape and one of its inhabitants. Thomas's Icelandic settings are among her most evocative.
3. The Summer of Secrets — Patricia Wilson — A woman travels to a Greek island to piece together her past and discovers secrets that threaten to upend everything she thought she knew about her family. A satisfying blend of romance and mystery.
4. Liar — Lesley Pearse — A woman with a traumatic past builds a new life, only to find that the lies she told to protect herself may destroy the love she has found. Pearse is one of the most consistent writers in popular fiction, and this novel is characteristic of her at her most tightly plotted.
5. Christmas Wishes — Sue Moorcroft — A warm Christmas romance in which a woman's plans are complicated by the return of someone from her past. The companion novel to A White Christmas on Winter St.
6. Coming Home to Winter Island — Jo Thomas — A woman retreats to a remote Scottish island to find her voice again and discovers both community and unexpected love. Thomas's island settings are some of the most evocative in contemporary romance.
7. The Woolworths Girl's Promise — Elaine Everest — A young woman in the postwar years whose promise to a dying friend takes her down an unexpected path. Part of Everest's beloved Woolworths Girls series.
8. Merrily Ever After — Cathy Bramley — Two strangers sharing a farmhouse over Christmas in a novel that is warm, funny, and exactly as cosy as the cover promises. Bramley is one of the most reliable names in feel-good fiction.
9. A Mother's Trust — Dilly Court — A young woman in Victorian London discovers that the man she trusted with her heart has a darker side than she imagined. Court's Victorian melodramas move fast and always deliver.
10. The Ballroom Girls — Jenny Holmes — Set in a wartime Blackpool ballroom, this novel follows three friends whose lives and loves are transformed by the dancefloor and the war beyond its doors.
11. Bridgerton: The Viscount Who Loved Me — Julia Quinn — The second in Quinn's Bridgerton series — now a global Netflix phenomenon — in which Anthony Bridgerton meets his match in the headstrong Katharine Sharma. Irresistibly witty Regency romance.
12. The Christmas Postcards — Karen Swan — A woman discovers a bundle of vintage Christmas postcards that connect her to a stranger, and their correspondence spans continents and changes both their lives. Swan writes aspirational romance with considerable skill.
13. 12 Hours to Say I Love You — Olivia Poulet & Laurence Dobiesz — A romantic novel structured around a single extraordinary night in which two people must find the courage to say what they have never managed to say before.
14. Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery — Jenny Colgan — The third in Colgan's beloved series, set in a Cornish village where the local bakery brings the community together at Christmas. As warm and comforting as the series suggests.
15. The Archers: Ambridge at War — Catherine Miller — A tie-in novel following the Ambridge community through the Second World War; for fans of the long-running radio programme, this is an exceptional companion.
16. Daddy's Girls — Danielle Steel — Three very different daughters must learn to find their way to each other after the death of their father in this Steel novel that is more emotionally complex than many of her recent works.
17. The Mistake I Made — Paula Daly — A physiotherapist whose finances are at breaking point makes a decision that spirals catastrophically out of control. Daly is one of the sharpest psychological thriller writers working in the UK.
18. Suspects — Danielle Steel — Wealth, fear, and revenge in Steel's characteristic high-gloss style; a woman discovers that the world she thought she knew is built on secrets. Compulsive as always.
