The Silver Bell

Eve Carlisle has spent the past three years hiding behind tinsel and twinkle lights. At 52, she's the proud owner of The Silver Bell, Wexley Island's beloved Christmas shop—known for its magical window displays, custom ornaments, and the feeling that anything is possible during the holidays. But behind Eve's perfectly wrapped storefront is a woman who dreads the very season she's made a business out of, still grieving the husband she lost far too soon.

Then Jack Baldwin arrives on the island with his three spirited children and a book deadline. He's a historian writing about traditional American Christmases, and Wexley seems like the perfect place to spend December. His youngest daughter stumbles into The Silver Bell one afternoon—and keeps coming back, enchanted by Eve, her shop, and the stories tucked inside every ornament.

As Eve is slowly drawn into Jack's world, she begins to feel something she thought she'd packed away for good: hope. But with the past lingering like a ghost in the snow and a future she never imagined calling her name, Eve must decide if she's ready to let go of grief long enough to let love in again.

A heartwarming, second-chance Christmas romance about healing, family, and the quiet magic of finding joy when you least expect it.

Perfect for fans of cozy coastal towns, multigenerational holiday stories, and clean, uplifting love after loss.
