Rum Cake Cottage

Christmas comes to Pajaro Bay in this heartwarming second-chance story.

Alec O'Keeffe has made a life for himself as a successful single father and the mayor of Pajaro Bay. His days are full, but his nights are lonely. He swears he wouldn't change a thing about his life--except maybe the crazy outfit he agreed to wear as the village's Surfing Santa.

But now that one woman who broke his heart is back in town, and she wants to see the child she abandoned. In a season of forgiveness and renewal, is Roxy his worst nightmare--or the dream he never got over?

Roxy Drew isn't thinking about Christmas right now. She spent ten years in prison for a crime she didn't commit, and now she's got just 72 hours to find the real killer, or she'll lose her daughter forever. But how can she tell Alec the truth, when he's convinced she's nothing but trouble?

Get away to the little California beach town where the cottages are cute, the neighbors are nosy, and it's always possible to find your personal Happily Ever After.
