Christmas at Seashell Cottage - SAMPLE

An abandoned baby plays matchmaker in this heartwarming holiday story in the Jewell Cove series.

When Charlie and Dave discover an abandoned baby in the church manger, their first date takes an unconventional turn. Before workaholic Charlie can say "Baby Jesus," she finds herself providing foster care for the newborn while still tending to her medical practice. Ex-SEAL and single dad Dave Ricker is used to adjusting on the fly and turns out to be a surprising help. Clearly there are hidden depths to the hunky shipbuilder...

Dave feels himself falling for Charlie, especially when he sees how she dotes on the baby. But she wants promises he can't make, security he can't offer. He's already failed as a husband and father once and vowed never again.

When the baby's birth mother is located, Charlie's world falls apart. Dave gives her comfort, but can he take the greatest risk of all and offer her forever-in time for a perfect Christmas?
