Hello everyone, we hope you had a lovely weekend. Do anything nice? Gah, who are we kidding? You want to see the DHH News Roundup, don’t you? Don’t blame you.
Three brilliant cover reveals took place this week, so let us begin with them.
Jules Wake’s forthcoming Notting Hill In the Snow is the perfect way to gear yourself up towards the festive season.
It's mayhem in Bethlehem…unless they can work together!
Viola Smith plays the viola in an orchestra (yes really!), but this year she's been asked to stretch her musical talents to organising Notting Hill's local nativity.
Nate Williams isn't looking forward to Christmas but as his small daughter, Grace, has the starring role in the show, he's forced to stop being a Grinch and volunteer with Viola.
With the sparks between them hotter than the chestnuts roasting in Portobello market, Nate and Viola can't deny their feelings. And as the snow starts to fall over London, they find themselves trapped together in more ways than one…
This gorgeous book is out in eBook on 11 October and paperback on 12 December - pre-order by clicking the highlighted formats.

Lastly, Coming Home To Winter Island, the next gorgeous novel from Jo Thomas. Set on a beautiful remote Scottish island, wrap up warm and dive in to your next favourite read.
Ruby's singing career is on the verge of hitting the big time, when her voice breaks. Fearing her career is over, she signs up for a retreat in Tenerife to recover.
But an unexpected call from a stranger on a remote Scottish island takes her on a short trip to sort out some family business. It's time to go and see the grandfather she's never met.
City girl Ruby knows she will be happy to leave the windswept beaches behind as quickly as she can, especially as a years-old family rift means she knows she won't be welcome at Teach Mhor.
But as she arrives at the big house overlooking the bay, she finds things are not as straightforward as she might have thought.
There's an unexpected guest in the house and he's not planning on going anywhere any time soon...
