‘One of my favourite Christmas reads. Maxine Morrey writes the most gorgeous heroes' Jules Wake
When professional organiser Kate Stone is asked to declutter Michael’s home in time for Christmas, she’s happy to help.
He may be gorgeous, but Michael might just be the grumpiest, rudest man she’s ever met. If he wasn’t her best friend’s brother, Kate would never have hung around!
But Kate soon discovers that underneath Michael’s icy exterior is a caring man who has struggled since his wife left. While she is more used to sorting messy sock drawers than messy love lives, Kate can’t help making Michael her secret Christmas project.
With the big day only a few weeks away, can Kate and Michael put aside their differences to make his house a home again? And will they find love along the way?

Praise for The Christmas Project
'In the hectic pace of this time of year, one is always in need of light escapism. With just the right balance of fun, wit and a sprinkling of ‘warm fuzzies’, this Maxine Morrey book delivered the goods!' ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
'5 very sparkling 🌟… It’s a light, flowing, wonderful, and a heart warming story… But most importantly, it is FUNNY! I’ve laughed reading before but not like this. At a few points, I had to put the reader down and actually give myself time to laugh out loud for a bit!' ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
'It made perfect reading with mugs of steaming gingerbread lattes… You can't help fall in love with the characters; they are believable and funny… You feel part of the characters world' ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
About the author
Maxine Morrey has wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember and wrote her first (very short) book about an elf for school when she was ten.
Years passed and she continued to write but 'life' often got in the way. She has written articles on a variety of subjects, as well as a local history book and in 2015 she won a contract for her Christmas romcom, Winter's Fairytale.
She is the bestselling author of Things Are Looking Up, #NoFilter, and the Kindle UK top ten read, The Christmas Project, among others.
In 2024, her book You've Got This won The Romantic Comedy Award at the Romantic Novelists' Association award ceremony in London.
When not wrangling with words, she loves to read, sew and listen to podcasts. She can also often be found out on a gentle walk in nature, camera in hand.
