Happy Publication Day – 12 October 2026

The Woman Who Said Yes By Fiona Gibson

Andie has spent her whole life saying yes. Yes to keeping the peace. Yes to putting everyone else first. The only time she ever said no was forty years ago, when her friend Sam asked her out – a decision she’s regretted ever since. But at least Andie is still as close as ever to her best friends Eva and Sam.

So when long-single Eva announces she’s getting married, Andie does what she always does: she says yes. Yes to being a witness. Yes to helping plan the wedding. But Andie can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t right. The whirlwind romance. The murky business history. And the wedding only weeks away. With Sam’s help, she’s determined to stop her friend making a terrible mistake.

But as the big day approaches, Andie starts to wonder if she’s been focusing on the wrong future. What if, for once, it’s time to stop saying yes to everyone else and admit what she really wants?

Christmas At The First Sip Coffee Shop By Emma Bennet

Lucy Wilson built the First Sip coffee shop from nothing. She loves every mismatched chair, every cosy corner, every friendly face that comes through the door.

The one thing she doesn’t love is Dylan Benjamin. Charming, cocky and far too sure he can fix everything. He’s the last person Lucy would ask for help.

Then her landlord decides to sell the building. Her business and her home will be gone by spring. And Dylan is standing right there when she reads the letter.

He offers to help her buy it. And he refuses to be a silent partner.

Forced to work together, Lucy sees a different side to the man who drives her mad. Especially when the secret behind the night they never talk about comes out.

It’s Christmas in Castle Cove. The tree’s going up on the High Street, the choir’s singing and First Sip is filled with gingerbread lattes, mince pies and unexpected second chances.

Dylan has proposed twice. Lucy has said no twice.

But with Christmas Eve approaching, she’s running out of reasons to say no again.
