The Christmas season…

Is perfect for new beginnings


After a tragedy seventeen years ago, author Ella Jacobs never wanted to come back to Lighthouse Cove. Not to the whispered rumors, the judgment or even to Ben Winters, the boy she loved. Now she’s returned in time for Christmas—and some much-needed closure. But old flames burn bright. Can Ella find her way back to Ben…or will the secrets of their past extinguish their love for good?

Exclusive Excerpt:

Chapter 8, pg. 142 Her face tilted up to his, golden in the soft pools of light from the street behind them. A tiny streak of chocolate lurked in the corner of her mouth and as Ben dabbed it with his finger, her lips parted in a hesitant smile. He dipped his head and kissed her. Every nerve in his body came alive. His mouth filled with the smoky richness of chocolate and the tastes of Ella he’d dreamed about for years. He was spinning back in time to other kisses, furtive and exciting. Later he couldn’t remember taking the cup from her hands and setting it on the bench beside him. But he must have, because her arms reached up around him and her hands gently held his face against hers, as if to keep him right there, locked on to her.

Eventually he reluctantly pulled his mouth away from hers. “That was better than any hot chocolate I’ve ever had anywhere.”

There was that smile again, the one that gave mixed messages. But her eyes told the whole truth. They were incandescent. Ben tucked her into the crook of his arm, holding on as tight as he dared. Giant snowflakes circled lazily from a black sky speckled with stars, and Ben wanted the night to last forever.
