Dr Zinetti's Snowkissed Bride. Sarah Morgan

when are you going to realise that you don’t win awards in this life for managing on your own?’ Her mother looked tired suddenly. ‘You’re a fantastic mum, but Jamie needs a man in his life and, frankly, so do you. It’s time you stopped shutting everyone out. If you can’t bring yourself to trust another man quite yet, at least make a New Year’s resolution to have sex.’

      ‘Sex?’ Scandalised, Meg shrieked the word just as Dino scooped Jamie out of the car.

      It echoed through the silence, the sound somehow magnified by the cold emptiness of the night.

      Across the snow Dino’s eyes met hers.

      And she knew she was in trouble.
