As Bluestar Island prepares for a very special Christmas wedding, Santa’s sleigh crashes into The Lighthouse Café, reuniting Bluestar’s beloved waitress with her former fiancé.
In this holiday novella, Darla Evans has carved out a quiet life for herself as a waitress at The Lighthouse Café. Up until this point, she’s conveniently avoided the one man who shattered her heart and her dreams. But when a wedding draws him back to the island, she knows their meetup is unavoidable.
Tech entrepreneur William “Will” Campbell has returned to his childhood home to be the best man in his father’s wedding. But first his father has a very special task for him—to restore a sleigh in time for the wedding. However, there’s not much time until Christmas. He just might need some help.
As snowflakes cover the small town of Bluestar, Will and Darla work together to make it a very special holiday wedding. With the past looming between them, will the magic of the season open their hearts and allow them to find love again?
Includes a holiday recipe for Darla’s frosted sugar cookies!

This was it. The last table for the evening. The kitchen crew was already cleaning the grill and washing the dishes. Darla just needed to clear, clean, and reset this last table.
She stacked the dirty dishes and then wiped down the tabletop. When she went to wipe off the seat, she found Agnes’s purse. Oh no. Agnes would be in a panic when she realized it was missing. She grabbed it and headed for the door.
She ran out the door. “Agnes!”
Through the snow she saw the woman across the street. She wasn’t that far away. If she hurried, she could catch her. She moved through the snow as quickly as she dared.
“Agnes! Agnes, wait up!”
The woman paused and turned. “Darla, what’s wrong?”
Darla came to a stop next to Agnes. She held up the purse. “You forgot this.”
The woman’s mouth gaped. “So I did.” She reached for it. “Well, um, thank you. I wouldn’t have forgotten it if it wasn’t for all of that loud Christmas music and you singing.” Agnes turned and continued along the sidewalk.
Darla sighed. At least Agnes thanked her before she was blamed for Agnes’s forgetfulness. Darla turned and walked away. The kitchen crew was waiting on her so they could finish cleaning up. And going home early meant more time to write. That thought spurred her steps to come faster. She stepped off the curb and headed across the street.
Honk! Honk!
