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?

Book Excerpt from chapter 3

Ella sat on the edge of the bed and painfully pulled off first one boot, then the other to gently massage her feet back to life. Contrary to what she’d told Ben, her footwear was totally inappropriate for more winter walking than from taxi to building in Boston. At least she’d had the sense to wear a thin pair of nylon socks rather than going barefoot inside the ankle-high, narrow-heeled leather boots.

If only she could as easily rub away her adolescent yearnings for Ben Winters. The walk around town was proof that their long-ago relationship—if it could even be called that—was basically dead. Stone-cold dead. Except for that frisson of heat when he’d grabbed hold of her hand just before she’d entered the hotel. Its jolt had unnerved her, and once out of his sight, she’d leaned against a lobby wall to catch her breath. Then she’d realized that this unexpected reaction was a reminder that coming back to Lighthouse Cove to do what she intended wasn’t going to be easy.

About the Author

Writing has been a passion for Janice Carter since elementary school but her second career after teaching began with the publication of a Harlequin Intrigue, many years ago. Since then, she’s been very lucky to be able to do what she enjoys most – writing about the connections between people, their families and the places where they live. And of course, love is always at the heart of those connections.
