THE CHRISTMAS INNKEEPER’S SECRET: A Small-Town Second-Chance Christmas Romance

She came home to sell the inn.

He came back to save it.

Twelve years ago, Eleanor Hart left Pinehaven with a broken heart and no intention of returning. She believed James Mercer had chosen a new life over her—and that loving him had been the mistake that nearly cost her the future she wanted.

Now her grandmother is gone, Hollybrook Inn is struggling, and Eleanor plans to settle the estate and return to her carefully built career.

Then James opens the door.

Older. Infuriatingly familiar. And half-owner of the inn Eleanor expected to inherit.

Her grandmother’s final instructions leave them with no easy escape: Eleanor and James must run Hollybrook together until Christmas Eve or risk losing it altogether.

Thirty days under the same roof should be manageable.

Until old feelings return.

Until the letters begin appearing.

Until Eleanor discovers that the breakup she has spent twelve years believing may have been built on a lie.

Someone kept them apart.

Someone intercepted the truth.

And inside a locked wooden box beneath Hollybrook’s Christmas tree may be the final secret Eleanor and James need to understand what really happened.

But discovering who they were twelve years ago is only half the problem.

They still have to decide who they want to be now.

The Christmas Innkeeper’s Secret is a warm, emotional small-town Christmas romance about first love, second chances, family secrets, forgiveness, and finding the courage to come home.
