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.
