A Christmas Bloom
A holiday showcase gone wrong, a charming contractor from the past, and a flower shop owner who never expected love to bloom again.
At 54, Julie St. James has embraced a quiet, independent life in Hope Hill, the charming town of lavender fields and second chances. As the Christmas season approaches, she’s busy prepping for the beloved Christmas Wedding Showcase—never expecting her highschool sweetheart, Charles Fenwick, to be the event’s contractor.
Charles still has that crooked smile and calm, steady presence, but Julie is determined to keep things strictly professional. Until wedding décor starts mysteriously vanishing, and the two are drawn into solving a cozy holiday whodunit.
As holiday centerpieces go missing and old sparks reignite, Julie must face the past she buried and the future she never thought she’d have. With her shop in trouble, Charles considering leaving Hope Hill again after the season,and secrets threatening the showcase, Julie wonders if she should risk following her heart.
Brewing Up Christmas
All Cassie wanted was a Christmas free of drama—not a mystery, a micromanager, and a meddling ex.
Cassie Ripley never expected to be in charge of Hope Hill’s most beloved holiday tradition—the Mistletoe Ball. But when the longtime chairwoman elopes with her yoga instructor just three weeks before Christmas, Cassie steps in with nothing but caffeine, determination, and a color-coded spreadsheet.
Things get complicated when Graham Wilson—her ex-boyfriend who left town (and her heart) behind 25 years ago—shows up offering to help. As if reuniting with the man who once broke her heart isn’t enough, Cassie starts receiving anonymous threats hidden inside vintage holiday boxes from her shop’s attic.
With the ball’s venue vandalized and town council watchdog Daphne Pembroke breathing down her neck, Cassie leans on her best friends and Graham to unravel a decades-old scandal that may be at the heart of the sabotage. As snow blankets the streets and sparks fly again with Graham, Cassie must decide whether to protect her heart—or finally trust it again.
Can they save the ball—and maybe their chance at love—before the lights go out on Hope Hill’s most magical night?
