Heart Note: A Christmas romcom novella
I have a new release romantic comedy novella, Heart Note, to tell you about today. It’s a little bit festive, a little bit naughty and a little bit nice. It’s getting some great reviews so far.
Heart Note is set in the world of a perfume counter at a department store in the lead-up to Christmas, there’s hijinks and baubles, plenty of sexy Santa costumes and a smouldering hot Greek-Australian god (okay, a security guard/ex-cop, but he’s got that Zeus-like thing going on).
This novella has been rocking the charts since its release on 6 November, hitting the top 50 Humour Fiction bestseller list on Amazon Australia, and the New and Hot Releases Humor Fiction lists on Amazon US, UK and France!
Blurb
A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy Christmas novella, perfect for fans of Love Actually . . . from the award-winning author of Girl on a Plane.
Love is like a fine perfume. The top note draws you in, an instant attraction, but the Heart Note is the true essence. Like true love – a great perfume should be a woman’s perfect match.
At least, that’s what perfume counter manager, Lily Lucas, tells her customers in one of Australia’s largest department stores.
It’s almost Christmas, the store is bedecked with baubles and Lily has about eleventy billion gifts to wrap and sell. She and her team of spritzer chicks are glamorous, professional and hoping they don’t have to wear the hideous red onesies and reindeer antlers the store manager has in mind.
The high point of Lily’s work life is Christos Cyriakos, ex-cop, security guard, possible Greek god. He’s a mystery box she’d love to unwrap. But can she trust him?
All Lily wants for Christmas is to kiss Christos (and more), catch a band of thieves running amok in the store, and live happily ever after. Is that too much to wish for?

I’ve been nice and for Christmas I want a new set of headphones!
Good on you Rose. I think Santa should bring you those headphones! Maybe some chocolate too.
I’ve been nice and I’m hoping for a few new books to read over the Christmas break since I am lucky to have 6 weeks off with the kids this year, unfortunately Hubby has to work.
Yay, Catherine! I hope Santa brings you lots of books and quiet time to read them. I’ll have my kids home too, so I hope I get at least a little reading time.
Already receiving your newsletter. I’ve been very nice this year and would love to read Heart Note for Christmas! It sounds perfect for me since I’m in the cosmetics and fragrance business. Thankyou for the opportunity!
Hi Jill, yes, I think you’d like Heart Note if you work with perfumes! Merry Christmas.
I’ve been mostly nice, I think. There is a book of knitting patterns I hope to find under the tree…
Hi Karen, a book of knitting patterns sounds fun. I hope you get it!
Just signed up for your newsletter. Well mostly I’ve been nice, but in all honesty there were a few occasions when I delved to the level of other’s bad behaviour rather than rising above it. What I’d really like for Christmas is to discover the offending appliance that has spiked our electricity bill and to have it replaced quickly. That way I can return to reading wonderful books, which always makes me feel great and be a nicer person! Thanks so much!
Hi Dianne, I know what you mean…I’ve been mostly nice too but sometimes a few naughty words escape if I’m dealing with things like appliances that don’t work properly. Like my washing machine right now! But I do hope you get your reading time.

Thanks!
I am already receiving your newsletter 🙂 I have been nice (most of the time) and I am hoping to see my family over Christmas
Thanks Wendy! Well, if you’ve been mostly nice I think you deserve a treat for Christmas.
I have been very nice and maybe a bit naughty during the year. ha ha I just want a great time with family and friends and some Yummy Christmas food.
Haha Ann-maree, I think I fall into that category too. I’m with you on the great time and yummy food too. Thinking of making homemade chocolates… Mmmm.

Hi Mary, thanks very much for signing up. Best wishes to you and your family too. Happy holidays!
I have been the best kind of naughty and I am asking Santa for a new job for the new year – Merry Christmas!
Hehe, I love that you’ve been kind of naughty. Good luck with the new job!

I’m already get your newsletter- I’ve been mostly nice- I want to go to the Galápagos next year for a Christmas present
Hi Debbie, thanks for subscribing! Oh, I’d love to go there one day. I’ve watched a documentary about Galapagos and it looks incredible.
I’ve been nice. All I want for Christmas is a new apartment with affordable pet deposits.
Good on you for being nice! And best of luck with the apartments. 🙂
I’ve been nice and I want whoever broke into my dads house a couple nights ago and ransacked it to be caught. If I catch them I won’t stay on the nice list.
Oh no! I totally understand your reaction. A few years ago my husband’s expensive tools were stolen. But I hope you have a good Christmas.
Ive been nice and I just my moms health to improve so she will be around for Christmas this yr ( we thought last yr would be her last Christmas) with all the family.
Oh, I hope your mother is okay. Yes, it makes you appreciate your family when someone is ill. Merry Christmas to you. x
I have been nice. I would love clothes, books, and more leisure time.
Well done for being nice! 🙂 I approve of your wish list too.
I have been nice this year because I have flown to different states to help family members with their different medical issues. I even babysat for a week while the parents went to say goodbye to a parent and stayed for the funeral.
You have been very nice! I hope you have a lovely relaxing Christmas after all of that.
I signed up! I’ve been nice! I didn’t really want anything this year that stands out more than anything else. My hubby did get me the Outlander Series wine yesterday and said it was early Christmas gift.
I approve of the wine gift! I hope you get an extra surprise at Christmas too.
