Dragged to a Christmas ball by best friend Layla, Poppy meets gorgeous actor Gabe, who stars as a genie in a play. When he asks her what three wishes she would make, she realises it's quite simple: love, a job she's happy in and, just once in her life, to do something extraordinary.
Gabe and Poppy make a pact to help each other make their dreams come true. As they tick off their wishes, their friendship blossoms... But, as they discover, sometimes, what you want for Christmas isn't necessarily what you need...
A delicious romance to snuggle up with this festive season from the author of Wedding Bells at the Signal Box Café and The Cosy Little Cupcake Van.

The Inspiration behind the Signal Box Cafe
The Signal Box was inspired by the one near where I live. About fifteen years ago it became automated which was annoying because sometimes the barrier would stay down too long. We would often wish that the controller was still there because we knew he could see what was going on.
I always thought what a shame it was that the building became neglected and every time I passed it I would mention to whoever I was with that it would make a lovely cafe. Eventually my vision of it came true, even if it was in book form rather than real life but who knows maybe one day it will be a cafe. Just a couple of stops away from ours I found another signal box, a little tiny one, so maybe there'll be another book.
