Christmas at Hickory Lantern

Christmas doesn’t simply arrive in Hickory Lantern—it glows from every window and welcomes strangers as though they have finally come home.

Callie Harper has built a life in the town she loves, but between running her café and helping at her parents’ inn, taking care of everyone else leaves little time for love. A handsome visitor is a tempting distraction—even if Elliot Reeves arrives with a girlfriend who would rather be elsewhere.

When he returns for Christmas, single and eager to spend time with her, Callie discovers how good it feels for someone to take care of her. Letting him lend a hand is easy. Wanting his arms around her—and a place in his future— is far more dangerous when the life he built somewhere else is waiting.

But surrounded by harbor lights and holiday traditions, Elliot is finding plenty of reasons to stay. Callie is becoming his favorite.

A heartwarming, clean small-town Christmas romance about being chosen—and finding a love worth staying for.
