Return to Carlisle Bay for a Christmas that may just bring a miracle or two
After returning to Carlisle Bay, Connecticut, and rebuilding a summer romance once lost with the moonlit tide, Brady Carlisle and Olivia Shields are happier than they've ever been. All that's missing is reconnecting their families. A task only a Christmas miracle could bring. Perhaps a snowstorm and a little holiday magic may bring them all together. Although being together by circumstance rather than by choice may prove to be more salty than sweet in this coastal cove along the New England coastline. Brady wants nothing more than peace in his family, as does Olivia. When his sister, Lauren, returns to Carlisle Bay, with three kids in tow, family healing becomes the Christmas wish. Lauren may be in the midst of chaos, but finding a little comfort from friends and a cute guy in a Christmas Elf costume who's now a man and not her brother's geeky friend may help cheer her up a little. She's not ready to give her heart away, but snow makes things new again, and twinkle lights give the soul hope. If her mom can find a way to reconnect, maybe there will be a start to a holiday of rebuilding and joy for the new year.Will this become the first of many future holidays together again, or the final break of the rushing tide?
