As Bluestar Island prepares for a very special Christmas wedding, Santa’s sleigh crashes into The Lighthouse Café, reuniting Bluestar’s beloved waitress with her former fiancé.
In this holiday novella, Darla Evans has carved out a quiet life for herself as a waitress at The Lighthouse Café. Up until this point, she’s conveniently avoided the one man who shattered her heart and her dreams. But when a wedding draws him back to the island, she knows their meetup is unavoidable.
Tech entrepreneur William “Will” Campbell has returned to his childhood home to be the best man in his father’s wedding. But first his father has a very special task for him—to restore a sleigh in time for the wedding. However, there’s not much time until Christmas. He just might need some help.
As snowflakes cover the small town of Bluestar, Will and Darla work together to make it a very special holiday wedding. With the past looming between them, will the magic of the season open their hearts and allow them to find love again?
Includes a holiday recipe for Darla’s frosted sugar cookies!

As Will made his way
through Bluestar, a few people did a doubletake when they saw him coming down
the road in Sam’s pickup. They hesitated and then waved. He waved back. He
hoped they didn’t notice the lack of a bright orange permit in the window and
call the sheriff on him.
Finding Atlantic Drive
too congested with golf carts, he zigzagged through town and ended up on Main
Street—the road his father lived on. As he crawled down the road, he turned up
the windshield wipers. When he tapped the brakes, he noticed the roads were
growing slick. And Bluestar’s limited road maintenance crew hadn’t been out
yet.
He was almost to The
Lighthouse Café. He knew from his father that Darling, erm, Darla had been
working there ever since she’d moved back to the island.
And then the familiar
black wooden sign came into sight. A spotlight mounted to the lighthouse-shaped
building highlighted the sign. He smiled as he took in the painted image of a
red and white lighthouse and the name, The Lighthouse Café, scrolled out
in white paint. Boy had he missed frequenting it.
Every time he passed
by the café, he was tempted to step inside. In fact, he had eaten at the café
but Darla was never around when he was in town visiting his father. He had a
feeling it was intentional. She hadn’t forgiven him for upending their wedding
plans.
A movement in the
corner of his eye caught his attention. Someone darted out in the road. His
breath hitched.
He pressed on the
brakes. With the road growing slick, the truck didn’t slow down. His chest
tightened.
He laid on the horn.
It blew loud and long. The woman slipped. She fell right in the roadway.
