In The Chocolate Apothecary, chocolate isn't just good for you, it's medicine. And Christmas Livingstone loves nothing more than enticing customers into her shop with her beautiful chocolate creations and gifts for all the senses.

Until one day a stranger arrives at her front door - a dishevelled botanist seeking her help. She really doesn't need Lincoln van Luc walking into her life. Or does she?

Set across Tasmania, Paris and Provence, amid a delicious tangle of freshly picked herbs, flowers and the luxurious scent of chocolate, Christmas Livingstone is about to find out how far in life a list of rules will take her.

'A feast for the senses and a salve for the heart. Devour it as you would a whole bar of chocolate.' Book Birdy
