A Sea Glass Christmas

About this book

In the ultimate Christmas comfort read for fans of Nicholas Sparks and Karen Kingsbury, a bracing Christmas on North Carolina's Outer Banks opens the door to a second chance at love... Some places never leave you . . . Two days before his 21st birthday, Brody Reames left the Outer Banks to fulfill his dream of sailing. For years, it's been a liberating, wayfarer's life, crewing on ocean-bound vessels and joining cross-Atlantic races. He knew leaving his hometown wouldn't be forever, but to mend a disillusioned heart in Fortunate Harbor, it was for the best. Still, he never expected that a family upheaval and his loving mother's plea would call him back. With Christmas nearing, Brody is coming home again--to a crisp chill in the air and a warm former flame . . . Some goodbyes aren't meant to be forever . . . Attorney for the Outer Banks' 5-star ocean-front resort and resident treasure hunter, Rae Alden has a life that is adventurous, rewarding . . . and lonely. Still struggling with recent romances gone wrong, Rae directs all her energy into her career and caring for her ailing aunt, taking respite in dawn runs along the beach. But now, after eight years, she sees Brody again. They share more than a passion for the island realm. There are memories of a lovely once-upon-a-time fling. It lasted until a fateful change of seasons--and heart. Like waves along the Crystal Coast, emotions thought long-gone come rushing back. But with both of them facing family turmoil and secrets yet to be revealed, how promising is a new chance at happiness, no matter how powerful the yearning? For Brody and Rae, this Christmas is all about making wishes come true.
