She came to deliver a dead man's letters. She didn't expect to find everything she'd never had. Noelle Ashford has never had a home for Christmas. Raised by a wandering great-grandfather who taught her that the world was too big to belong to one small corner of it, she has spent twenty-eight years moving, roaming, belonging nowhere - and telling herself it was freedom. When her great-grandfather David dies in October, she finds, in the bottom of his sea chest, a bundle of letters tied in crumbling ribbon.
Letters from a woman named Rose Bennett, from a town called Juniper Bay, from seventy years ago - when David was young and in love, and chose the whole wide world over the one woman who wanted to stay. His final note asks one thing: take the letters home. Take them to the Juniper Inn. Tell Rose's family that David never forgot. Noelle drives four hundred miles in the snow three days before Christmas to deliver a dead man's promise to a town she's never seen.
She expects to stay an hour. Juniper Bay has other ideas. Because the inn is glowing gold and full of carols and the whole warm impossible town is crowded into it, and there is a man named Wes who carves toys and asks careful questions and looks at Noelle like she is exactly where she is supposed to be - and for the first time in her whole rootless life, she is not sure she disagrees. A warm, swoony, deeply felt Christmas romance about a woman who never had a home learning that belonging is not a place you find - it's a choice you make.
A Juniper Bay Christmas is the tenth and final book in the Juniper Bay series, the perfect standalone holiday romance. Perfect for fans of Susan Mallery, RaeAnne Thayne, and anyone who wants a Christmas romance that makes them laugh, cry, and believe in coming home. Her great-grandfather saw the whole wide world and found nothing as good as what he left behind. Noelle drove four hundred miles to return his letters - and found out he was right.
