‘Plans for what?’
‘To see each other in a few weeks’ time.’
‘And you’re OK with that?’
‘She’s growing up. I have to let her.’
‘You’re a good man.’
‘I know,’ he grinned. He’d managed to find a way beneath her scarf and the kisses he’d planted on her neck were making her wish they were somewhere a little more private. He’d done the same in the chalet on Christmas Eve, he knew her weak spot, and they’d barely left one another’s side since.
He was still kissing her neck, making his way slowly towards her mouth, when Cleo opened up the sash window and called out, ‘Get a room!’
Laughing, Amelia told her, ‘We will…Darcy…’ she called in through the open window, ‘book us in for next Christmas would you?’
‘Done!’ she called back from inside the Inglenook Lodge.
‘It’s a date,’ said Nathan, and this time, ignoring any comments from anyone else, he pulled her in for a kiss that warmed her all the way through.

Acknowledgements
Firstly, thank you to everyone who has picked up this book and read the story. I’ve loved writing the New York Ever After series and adding book five to the collection allowed me to introduce new characters but meet up with old one’s too in a setting that I adore. I hope you enjoyed it too!
Thank you so much to Katharine Walkden for her brilliant editing skills and to Berni Stevens for her wonderful cover design yet again. Thank you to The Write Romantics, a group of ten writers who support each other in what could be a very lonely job. It’s the online community of writers, friends and readers that make my job so much more fun.
And last but in no means least, thank you to my husband and children who are with me every step of the way when I’m writing my books.
