Michelle Plater

24 chapters. Three Christmas drinks, two festive seasons, and one very famous actor...

When actor Theo River accidentally spills a gingerbread latte all over Mia, the last thing she expects is a whirlwind kiss, a viral photo, and radio silence. She’s even more confused when she sees him playing festive boyfriend to another woman on every tabloid front page. 

But in a season of second chances, fame, forgiveness, and fairy lights, Mia and Theo might just discover that the best love stories aren’t scripted, and sometimes the most magical Christmases are the ones you never saw coming.

From the author of Smoke and Mirrors comes a heart-fluttering, emotionally immersive festive romance that blends celebrity chaos with real-world heart. With 24 bite-sized chapters, Famously Festive is perfect for readers seeking warmth, wit, and a romance worth rooting for this Christmas. Read it as an Advent novella with a chapter a day or devour it in one sitting!
Famously Festive
Author Michelle Platter

“A festive, funny, emotionally rich novella told over 24 chapters — perfect to read in one sitting or a chapter a day throughout December.”

Three Christmas drinks. Two festive seasons. One very famous actor…  
Mia’s idea of Christmas magic involves fairy lights, cosy nights, and just the right amount of gingerbread syrup, not accidentally wearing her latte thanks to a celebrity heartthrob. 
But when Theo Rivers crashes into her world (and her outfit) in the run-up to Christmas, the spark between them threatens to rewrite her carefully planned festive season.
One unforgettable kiss.
One long year apart.
Mia’s tried to forget Theo, and the press attention she never asked for. But when fate throws them together again at a luxury resort the following Christmas, old feelings resurface faster than you can say “mulled wine.
This time, there’s nowhere to hide. And under the glow of fairy lights and foreign stars, Mia must decide if she’s ready to risk her heart on someone who lives in the spotlight, and if Christmas really is the season for second chances.
