Christmas at the Island Hotel cover

Set on a picturesque Scottish island, Christmas at the Island Hotel follows Flora as she helps her brother revive a hotel for the festive season.

In Christmas at the Island Hotel, readers are transported to the enchanting Scottish island of Mure, where the holiday season is in full swing. Flora MacKenzie is faced with the challenge of helping her brother, Fintan, who is struggling to cope with the loss of his partner, Colton. Flora believes that reviving the old, abandoned hotel that Colton once dreamed of restoring could be the perfect project to lift Fintan's spirits. Together, they embark on a heartwarming journey to transform the dilapidated building into a festive retreat filled with warmth, laughter, and holiday cheer.

As Flora and Fintan work tirelessly to prepare the hotel for its grand opening, they encounter a host of quirky staff members, each bringing their own unique challenges to the table. From a temperamental French chef to a clumsy Norwegian kitchen assistant, the team must learn to navigate their differences to create a magical experience for their guests. Amidst the chaos, Flora also grapples with her own feelings and the importance of family during the holiday season.

With charming prose and delightful characters, Christmas at the Island Hotel captures the essence of togetherness, love, and the spirit of Christmas. Can Flora help her family find joy and happiness amidst the hustle and bustle of the festive preparations? This uplifting tale is perfect for anyone looking to escape into a world of cozy romance and heartwarming moments this winter.
