Christmas at the Island Hotel

Another heartfelt and delightful

Christmas tale from the beloved New York Times bestselling author of The

Bookshop on the Corner and Christmas on the Island.

New York Times bestselling

author Jenny Colgan returns to the setting of Christmas on the Island

and Endless Beach for a heartwarming new novel celebrating the season,

and Scotland.

On

the tiny, beautiful, and remote island of Mure, halfway between Scotland and

Norway, a new hotel opening is a big event. New mother Flora MacKenzie and her

brother Fintan are working themselves half to death to get it ready in time for

Christmas.

The

new hotel’s impressive kitchens throw together two unlikely new friends: Isla

Gregor is the hardworking young girl who has been a waitress in the

island's cafe, dreaming of a bigger, better life now that she’s at a proper

fancy hotel. Konstantin Pederson is working his way up in the hotel's kitchens

too…but he is also, secretly, the only son of the Duke of Utsire. Konstantin

has been sent to learn what it is to work hard for a living, before receiving

his inheritance. Although he’s initially resentful, the place grows on him; he

has never met anyone quite like Isla and her fellow Murians before.

As the island’s residents and special VIP guests

gather for the hotel’s grand opening gala, Christmas is in the air. But so are

more than a few small-town secrets…
