A Jewell Cove Christmas - by Donna Alward (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Find the magic in a Jewell Cove Christmas!

CHRISTMAS AT SEASHELL COTTAGE

A great first date is cut short when family doctor Charlie Yang discovers an actual baby abandoned in the church manger. She offers to foster the adorable little boy while family services investigates, but trying to work and be a full-time parent doesn't leave much time for romance - or Christmas. Ex-soldier Dave Ricker isn't about to give up on the beautiful and animated good doctor, however. He's determined to show her the magic of the season-and that love is worth waiting for.

CHRISTMAS AT EVERGREEN INN

When a powerful Nor'easter blows up the east coast, Officer Todd Smith finds himself stranded at Jewell Cove's Evergreen Inn. There are no available rooms, however, and he finds himself sleeping on the owner's sofa. Lainey Price is a former classmate and the one girl he always liked but was afraid to date. Now that they're grown up, all bets are off. But Lainey isn't doing Christmas, not since her ex broke off their engagement last year at the holidays. Can Todd find a way to show Lainey the spirit of Christmas...and his love?
