A Ferry Merry Christmas

from the million-copy and New York Times bestselling author comes a heart-warming festive read for 2026
The brand-new festive romance from the #1 New York Times bestseller. Perfect for fans of Trisha Ashley, Heidi Swain and Phillipa Ashley.

When the holidays don't go to plan, can love chart a new course?

Avery and Reed Bond might drive each other up the wall, but as siblings, they've always had each other's backs - through every triumph, every heartache, and every ill-advised attempt at matchmaking.

This Christmas is their first without their beloved Gram, the woman who raised them and made the season magical. Determined to honour her memory, they plan a holiday escape together. But when their ferry breaks down mid-journey, the festive spirit is in short supply.

Then Avery strikes up an unexpected connection with a dashing sailor who reminds her what magic really feels like. And Reed finds himself seeing his workmate in a whole new - and very unexpected - way.

As the snow falls and the Christmas lights twinkle, the Bond siblings discover that life has a funny way of surprising you. So, could a holiday hiccup turn into the season that changes everything?
