Perfect for fans of Anita Hughes and Jenny Colgan, the mistletoe is hanging and the Christmas lights twinkling in Fortune’s Cove—but there are holiday secrets lurking in the far shadows.
Annie Hamilton is a single mother of two and veterinarian whose family is on the verge of falling apart. Her husband has passed away, her teenage son is finding trouble at every turn, and she’s desperately struggling to keep it all together. When she decides to leave the city for Fortune’s Cove in a last-ditch search for peace and togetherness, she’s welcomed by her late husband’s best friend, Matt—a friend who swore he’d always be there for them.
Surrounded by majestic ocean, the island’s famous red sand dunes, and a glowing holiday spirit, Annie and her family are embraced by a warm community more than willing to welcome them. As she joins Matt's veterinary practice and her son begins to stabilize, Annie feels hopeful for the future, beginning to realize that true family is all about love and not just about blood. Annie could never have imagined that a thousand hundred miles from the city could feel the closest to home that she’s ever been. But this cozy enclave harbors a trove of secrets that could undo the life of a vulnerable young woman.
When the past threatens the family Annie is rebuilding, she finds the courage to fiercely protect all of them—and discovers just how far she’ll go to save her family and herself.

      Widowed mother of two Annie Hamilton is struggling to keep her family afloat. The loss of her husband, her teenage son's surliness, and her villainous sister's repeated efforts to sabotage anything good that happens to Annie is almost more than she can bear. When an offer comes from her husband's best friend Matt to work at his veterinary practice in the idyllic Fortune's Cove, Annie jumps at the chance for a change of scenery and she and the two kids pack up and move six weeks before Christmas. Immediately Matt's family and the community at large embrace them, but complications arise when Annie begins having feelings beyond friendship for Matt and her sister continues to be intent on ruining Annie's life from afar. With a sprinkling of Christmas cheer, there are few surprises in this gentle and heartwarming romance, but readers looking for a cozy holiday read will be charmed by this story of love and healing.
