'YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH SHELL SMITH' PRIMA _________________________________________________ The most delightful Christmas romance.
Shell Smith is the most popular make-up artist on the ART counter at Duke & Sons, a beautiful but old-fashioned department store in her hometown. But whilst Shell's love life is looking up, now that she's dating long-time crush Nick, and business is booming in the beauty department, the rest of the store is noticeably quiet . . .
The owner's grandson Callum has come up with some creative ways to keep Duke & Sons afloat this Christmas, including allowing a production company to secretly film a romcom after hours. When Callum recruits her to help out, Shell finds there is more to Mr Duke Jr. than sharp suits and a business-like demeanour.
With a store to save and her own romance with Nick going off-script, Christmas just got complicated for Shell. But this is the most wonderful time of the year, so there must be a happy ending awaiting . . . Right?

I read Someday at Christmas in a bath I kept topping up, with a glass of port and a mince pie beside me. It's a gorgeous, cosy read, rich in delicious wintery detail, and Shell is a heroine who'll stay with me, one I was rooting for (both professionally and personally) from page one. In the midst of a strange year, it made me nostalgic for visiting the make-up counter, for occasions that call for great lipstick, for crowded nights in the pub, and for shameless flirting fueled by Christmas cheer. - Kate Young

I fell in love with Shell and this refreshing, realistic cast of characters. A book that's about so much more than 'Christmas'
