Laura has always preferred summer days to winter snow. Until, one freezing cold December night, she meets Luke - the talented, funny and oh-so-sexy frontman of an up-and-coming band. Fans scream Luke's name all over the country. But he only has eyes for the girl waiting for him at home. As Christmas draws to a close, Luke vows to make every December magical for the rest of Laura's life. And the next year, they welcome baby Dylan, the most special surprise of all. But as each year rolls by, Christmas begins to lose its sparkle. Luke's band skyrockets to fame - and with Laura and Dylan left at home, they find themselves drifting apart. This December, will they decide that the greatest gift is to let each other go? Or will they find a way back to each other - in time for Christmas Day?
Cosy up with this heartwarming winter love story . . .

ONE DECEMBER DAY, LAURA MEETS LUKE...
Luke loves Christmas. He loves the woolly scarves, the mulled wine, the music, the snow. But he's beginning to ask: what good is it, if you have no one to share it with?
Laura doesn't think there's anything magical about December. She'd never normally be seen dead with a man in a Christmas jumper. But, at a crowded gig this winter's evening, has she found her soulmate in handsome, funny frontman, Luke?
Under the lights, something magical begins. But will Luke and Laura still feel the same on this day next December? And the one after that?
Finding love at Christmas is special. But is staying in love - year after year, through the joy and heartbreak - the real miracle?
Luke and Laura are about to find out. One December day at a time...

About the Author: Rachel Marks studied English at Exeter University before becoming a primary school teacher. Despite always loving to write, it wasn't until she gained a place on the 2016 Curtis Brown Creative online novel writing course that she started to believe it could be anything more than a much-loved hobby. She lives in Gloucestershire with her husband and their three children. Hello Stranger is her third novel.
