Description

A Christmas escape to the coast. An unexpected housemate. And a chance to start over—if they're willing to let go of the past.

From USA Today bestselling author Rachael Bloome comes a sweet, feel-good small-town romance about hope, healing, and the kind of love that finds you when you least expect it.

Still reeling from the loss of her husband, Abigail Preston retreats to Blessings Bay—a picturesque small town where her husband owned a secret beach house. Her plan? Avoid the holidays, catch her breath, and figure out what comes next. What she doesn't plan on? A ruggedly handsome Air Force veteran already living in her seaside retreat.

Logan Mathews isn't expecting company. After a medical discharge ended his military career and a broken engagement shattered his trust, he's found solitude as the caretaker of a friend's beach house. The last thing he wants is a housemate—especially one who stirs feelings he thought he'd buried for good.

Determined to avoid both heartbreak and holiday cheer, they strike a truce: no Christmas, no complications, and definitely no falling in love. 

But in Blessings Bay, where the Christmas lights sparkle brighter, the locals welcome you like family, and a mysterious little boy named Max reminds them what truly matters, even the most guarded hearts can't resist the season's magic.

From USA Today bestselling author Rachael Bloome comes a heartwarming holiday romance about hope, healing, and finding home when you least expect it. Perfect for fans of Jenny Hale, RaeAnne Thayne, and Debbie Macomber.

    I picked this out of my huge list of TBR titles, and really enjoyed it for the journey it took the characters on. I will look to read more by this author. It’s a well-crafted story with a happy ending, but it feels like these characters will carry over into future stories as well…?

    First time reading this author and I’ll read her again. A clean romance which I always appreciate. A sweet story with very likable characters in a story book kind of town.

    It’s Rachael Bloome and it’s a Christmas novel. What more could you ask for? A year after her husband’s death, Abby doesn’t want to celebrate Christmas. So she plans to escape by hiding out. Logan has turned himself into a bit of hermit after being released from the service. When Abby and Logan’s worlds collide, can they go back to their old lives and pretend they never met? Such a sweet story with many twists and turns. I loved it. Now if someone could turn it into a movie, that would be the icing on the cake!
