The Christmas Book Flood: A Holiday Friends-To-Lovers Romance Set in WWII Iceland - Paperback

In this charming World War II historical romance novella inspired by Jolabokaflod, Iceland's Christmas Book Flood, an author falls in love with a man who doesn't know he is her editor.

Iceland. December 1944. Tatiana Eliasdottir is looking forward to welcoming her niece Elea for Christmas. She's determined to give the little girl a joyful holiday and take her mind off troubles at home. Soon, however, the publishing house where Tatiana works is flooded with orders thanks to the first issue of a seasonal book catalog. With the war causing so many shortages, Icelanders are eager to give their loved ones something that isn't rationed, and books are the perfect solution to their dilemma.

Anders Johannsson is an editor who shares Tatiana's love for stories. While he wishes to know her better, he's never dared pursue more than friendship. They are first and foremost colleagues. But when Tatiana's attempts to cheer Elea fail, Tatiana recruits him to help, a plea he can't refuse. He is, after all, not only an editor but a beloved children's book author and devoted uncle to his adoring nieces and nephews.

As the two creatively bring Icelandic Christmas traditions to life for Elea and frantically work to meet the demands of the publisher's holiday rush, Tatiana finds herself increasingly drawn to kind, thoughtful Anders. But if a love is to grow between them, she will need to reveal her closely held secret: she is the mysterious author of a popular new novel . . . and Anders is her editor.
