    An Extract of 'Beneath the Manchester Lights'

    It’s almost time for the release of “Beneath the Manchester Lights” on November 3rd. So, here’s an extract. A second chance romance novella. When Stacey returns to Manchester 15 years after Danny cheated on her, she knows there’s a chance she might run into him. The last thing she expects is for that to happen in her temporary job as an elf. Danny has a new job as Father Christmas, working in the same grotto as Stacey. It’s only temporary, but can the two of them work together and get over their past? Or perhaps Stacey can find a way to forgive Danny, and they can have a second chance to get things right. After all, Christmas is a time for hope, and some gifts are worth unwrapping twice. Out 3rd November 2025 Order/pre-order from https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beneath-Manchester-Lights-Alicia-Nicholls-ebook/dp/B0F9P9BLCG Also available through the Waterstones website, and as an eBook from most eBook platforms.
