Carmen has always worked in her local department store. So, when the gorgeous old building closes its doors for good, she is more than a little lost. When her sister, Sofia, mentions an opportunity in Edinburgh - a cute little bookshop, the spare room in her house - Carmen is reluctant, she was never very good at accepting help. But, short on options, she soon finds herself pulling into the snowy city just a month before Christmas.

Carmen is at a loose end. Her gorgeous bookshop is the filming site of a cheesy Christmas movie, she's been ousted from her sister's house, and the love of her life has just flown thousands of miles away. It's threatening to be a very unjolly Christmas indeed! But when the elderly owner of the shop comes to Carmen with a Christmas wish that threatens to never come true, Carmen knows she must buckle down to get the funds to save not only his trip, but the shop itself.

On the tiny Scottish island of Mure, Christmas preparations are even more hectic than usual.... Especially when their motley staff includes a temperamental French chef, a spoilt Norwegian kitchen boy who can't peel a potato without mutilating his own hand and a painfully shy kitchen assistant who blushes when anyone speaks to her. Can they pull it together in time for the big opening? And can Flora help her family find happiness this Christmas?

Tag med Flora MacKenzie tilbage til den lille skotske ø Mure, der ved juletid er kold, forblæst og fuldstændig vidunderlig. Julen står for døren, og nu skal der hygges med familie og venner foran brændeovnen med en god kop te og en whisky... medmindre man, som Flora, er blevet gravid med sin tidligere chef, Joel, og nu er bange for at fortælle ham det. Julen burde jo være glædens højtid, men vil Joel nu også blive glad for den gode nyhed? Det er også første gang, øens læge Saif skal holde jul på den vindblæste ø langt mod nord.
