Pastry chef Juliet wants to disappear. A sweet, small-town coastal Christmas has other plans.
After losing the restaurant that carried her name, Juliet retreats to a little blue cottage on the bay for six quiet weeks. No calls from home. No questions about what went wrong. And definitely no baking.
But Moonbeam Bay is decked out with lighted palm trees for Christmas, and keeping to herself proves harder than she expected.
There’s the Sea Glass Cafe’s pastry case. A pair of town gossips who miss nothing. And Cole, the dry-witted handyman repairing her porch, who keeps giving her reasons to look forward to tomorrow.
Then an injured baker, Evelyn Parker, leaves the beloved Parker Christmas Dessert Table without anyone to fill it. With Christmas Eve only days away, Juliet reluctantly trades her solitude for a warm cafe kitchen and Grace Parker’s decades-old recipe binder.
At first, she sees one more chance to prove herself.
But tucked between the recipes are handwritten notes that remind her of something she’s forgotten. The pies, cookies, and cinnamon rolls were never about perfection. They were about memory. Family. Making sure everyone had a place at the table.
And somewhere between the flour-dusted pages, the lighted boats in the harbor, and Cole’s quiet belief in her, Juliet begins to wonder.
Could there be a life waiting for her beyond the one she lost?
Christmas at the Blue Cottage is a stand-alone sweet women’s fiction novel set in Moonbeam Bay, featuring a pastry chef heroine, a handyman hero, and cherished small-town holiday traditions. A heartwarming coastal Christmas story filled with found family, second chances, and sweet romance.
