The Christmas Rose by Victoria Connelly

The long-awaited novella sequel to the bestselling novel The Rose Girls.
There have been a few changes at Little Eleigh Manor in the last eighteen months. Evie and Lukas are engaged and bringing up their young daughter Alba, Gertie is back from her travels and is running Hamilton Roses with her sisters, and Julian has opened Rose Garden Antiques in the recently restored north wing.
But the unexpected arrival of Uncle Portland upsets the festive mood and Celeste becomes anxious when he starts poking around disused rooms and scouring the attics. What exactly is he looking for? And could it threaten the future of the home they’ve all worked so hard to build together?
