A wonderful story of love, friendship and opening your mind and your heart to new possibilities that will enchant fans of Holly Martin and Heidi Swain.

The Copper Plough is at the heart of village life for the residents of Heritage Cove, and never more so than at Christmas, when the tree glows in the alcove and the smell of mulled wine carries out onto the street. So when new owners for the beloved pub arrive and decide to shake things up, not everyone welcomes the changes with open arms.

Local bakery owner Celeste is ready to keep an open mind. But she’s shocked to discover that one of the new landlords is Quinn, a former Navy sailor with whom she had a short but powerful romance years earlier.

Fate may have brought Quinn and Celeste back together, but life seems determined to keep them apart. Can the villagers learn to embrace the newcomers this Christmas? And will Quinn and Celeste find a way back to each other before snow falls over Heritage Cove?

Join new friends and old, as Christmas comes to Heritage Cove.

Amelia Riley and Ben Lawson have something in common – fathers who have kept secrets.

On the day of his father’s funeral, Ben’s life changes forever when a woman he’s never met shows up claiming to be his sister. As he investigates the past, Ben is shaken to discover that much of his life has been built on a carefully constructed foundation of his father’s lies. Needing answers, he agrees to visit Juniper Meadows, the ancestral estate owned and run by his long-lost relatives, the Travers family.

Arriving in the pretty Cotswolds countryside, the first person Ben meets is Amelia Riley. They are immediately drawn to one another, but Amelia has her own complicated ties to the Travers family. Her only goal is to set the past to rights so she can move on with a clean conscience.

As Ben starts to see the events of his childhood more clearly, he allows the warmth and fun he finds at Juniper Meadows to draw him in from the cold. But just as he’s contemplating setting down roots, Amelia is making plans to leave…

Chicago, early 1970s: Who does a woman call when she needs help? Jane.

The best-known secret in the city, Jane is an underground women’s health organization composed entirely of women helping women, empowering them to live lives free from the expectations of society by offering reproductive counseling and safe, illegal abortions. Veronica, Jane’s founder, prides herself on the services she has provided to thousands of women, yet the price of others’ freedom is that she leads a double life. When she’s not at Jane, Veronica plays the role of a conventional housewifeβ€”which becomes even more difficult during her own high-risk pregnancy.

Two more women in Veronica’s neighborhood are grappling with similar disconnects. Margaret, a young professor at the University of Chicago, secretly volunteers at Jane as she falls in love with a man whose attitude toward his ex-wife increasingly disturbs her. Patty, who’s long been content as a devoted wife and mother, has begun to sense that something essential is missing from her life. When her runaway younger sister Eliza shows up unexpectedly, Patty is forced to come to terms with what it really means to love and support a sister.

In this historic moment when the personal was nothing if not political, when television, movies, and commercials told women they’d β€œcome a long way, baby,” Veronica, Margaret, and Patty must make choices that will change the course of their lives forever.

I wish you all a wonderful week. We will be in Delaware until Tuesday then homebound to take our new kitten to get neutered Wednesday.

Thank you, we went to Nemour’s Estate 4 years ago and it has more rooms open this time. It was very modern and ahead of its time for 1913. We haven’t been there at Christmas time but I can just imagine how magical that is. They even had water bottling in the basement and brought all their own water in the shop when they sailed to France. There was also a bowling alley in the basement.

Thank you Susan. Such a beautiful state, this is our second time visiting it. I’m still finding time to read, I have a blog tour to post tomorrow while on our trip. Scheduled it before I knew we’d be traveling on that date. Oops, lol

I have visited Rehoboth multiple times. My brother owned a home there along the Delaware, and he kindly invited us to spend a few summers there. During our visits, we went boating with him and experienced the unique phenomenon when transitioning from the Delaware River to the Atlantic Ocean. It was an interesting sight as the waters did not mix and it resulted in a bumpy ride. Personally, I prefer the smooth waters of the Delaware. However, during one of our trips, we were lucky enough to spot some playful dolphins in the Atlantic, which made my daughter extremely excited.

Donna, relaxing vacations I can imagine those to have been. That would have been an interesting sight I can imagine. I know I’d prefer the smooth Delaware River as well. We’ve not had a chance to experience a boat ride but I’m sure calm weather would be fantastic. She was so lucky to see the dolphins, I know they are a big draw.
