Felicity Thorne's writing career was on life support-or so she thought. When her publisher reveals her books have unexpectedly skyrocketed to bestseller status in Iceland, Fliss is catapulted from obscurity to a whirlwind book tour in Reykjavik. Leaving her teenage children with her ex-husband, she embarks on what promises to be the adventure of a lifetime.
Enter Brun, a soulful Icelander more comfortable strumming his guitar in the local bar than playing tour guide. Tasked with shepherding Fliss around Reykjavik, Brun quickly realises that she deserves more than a cookie-cutter tour of bookshops and libraries.
As Brun unveils the hidden wonders of his homeland-from secret hot springs to the local open-mic night-Fliss awakens to a world of possibility she'd long forgotten. Against the backdrop of Reykjavik's twinkling Christmas lights and snow-dusted streets, an unexpected connection begins to spark.
