In The Christmas Competition, rival neighbours butt heads in a fierce competition for first place in their neighbourhood’s Christmas house-decorating competition. The high-spirited, dual POV, holiday romcom is perfect for fans of B.K. Borison, Lindsey Kelk and Catherine Walsh.
Pellerin Books will publish a second Christmas romance novel from Zoe Allison in 2027, which promises the same wintry Scottish setting and page-turning romantic tension as The Christmas Competition. They will also release two previously published romances in summer 2027.
Peyton Stableford said: ‘The Christmas Competition is everything you could want from a Christmas romcom: genuinely funny and utterly sexy, featuring a swoonworthy and slightly misunderstood MMC, an endearing and relatably imperfect FMC, adorable animals including a three-legged cat, hot-chocolate dates and snowman making. And all set in cosy, snowy Scotland. Zoe Allison brings such a depth to her characters that you feel like you’re falling in love right alongside them – and I know readers will be head over heels for her future romance novels, too.’
Zoe Allison said: ‘I’m super excited to be working with Pellerin. I was both impressed and inspired by their ethos and I’m delighted that I get to work with them not only on future titles but also in re-energising my backlist.’
Hannah Todd said: ‘I am delighted that Zoe Allison’s new Christmas romances, and her summer rereleases, will be coming soon with Pellerin Books. Zoe and I really appreciate their transparent approach to publishing and we’re excited at the prospect of growing her readership!’
