Wow... I fell a little bit in love! In these dark days, this book is a beacon of light and sunshine!' 5 stars, Netgalley reviewer It's the most magical time of year, and anything can happen... Nia Maddison has always believed that wishes come true on Nutcracker Lane.

So, when she gets the opportunity to run her own Christmas gift shop on the most magical street in town, it feels like her wishes have been finally granted. But working late one night, Nia discovers yet another boyfriend has cheated on her. As she trudges home - alone, again - she passes the (supposedly) magical nutcracker and half-joking thinks a wish can't hurt.

Cracking a nut in its mouth, she wishes to find Prince Charming. The next day Nia gets to work to find another decoration shop has opened directly across the lane from her own, and she can't resist having a nose around. Whilst there, she accidentally backs into a human-sized Nutcracker, knocking it over and breaking it.

Mortified, she flees from the store but when she gathers her resolve to go back and apologise, she stumbles across the gorgeous shop owner James, who looks exactly like Prince Charming... Could her Christmas wish from the night before really be coming true?
