´Fabulously funny and festive. An absolute treat full of warmth and romance´ - Alex Brown, author of The Secret of Orchard Cottage

A wonderful, heart-warming Christmas novel from Chrissie Manby, perfect for curling up with in front of the fire.

What could be more magical at Christmas than a fairy tale come true?

It´s the festive season and the members of the Newbay Theatre Society, more commonly known as the NEWTS, are preparing to put on a show. Being cast as Cinderella is the realization of a dream for newcomer Kirsty, not least because she hopes starring in a panto under the direction of her boyfriend Jon will bring them closer together.

But Kirsty soon learns that it´s not all glitter and good cheer behind the scenes at the amateur theatre as bitter rivalries nurtured through decades, wardrobe mishaps and suspicious near-fatal accidents threaten to derail the production. And then there´s Prince Charming himself. Will working together with Jon bring Kirsty her happy ever after... or reveal their love to be nothing but a ´showmance´?

With Christmas just around the corner, it´s going to take more than a Fairy Godmother to get Kirsty and her cast-mates to the ball.
