Christmas in Cheshire Bay by H.M. Shander

Can a Christmas miracle happen even if you don’t believe in the magic?

Mona has never gotten over her last visit to the family’s summer beach home thirteen years ago. That was the heartbreaking day her beloved mother passed away. Now, with her sister planning a beach wedding on Christmas Day, Mona must confront her past. All of it. No matter how much it hurts.
Upon arrival to her family’s summer home, a twist of fate has her in desperate need of a plan B. In walks Jesse, the sweet–and handsome–next door neighbor, offering up a guest room in his house. Jesse’s the type of guy that believes in the magic of Christmas, and wants to remind Mona what it’s all about, even if she’s not so sure she has any belief left.
But like Mona, Jesse hides beneath his own scars and secrets. Can these two help each other heal old wounds even when their past hurts resurface? Will Mona be able to drop her walls and embrace the magic of the season and finally heal the damage from Christmas’ past?
