About the book
She stopped trusting people. He stopped letting them in. Event planner Margot Pine arrives in Harbor's Hope determined to make the resort's Christmas-in-July festival a success. After a devastating business betrayal nearly destroyed everything she'd worked for, she's focused on one thing: proving she can rebuild her l ... ife on her own. Marina handyman Evan Cole knows all about loss. Five years after a tragedy changed his life forever, he's settled into a quiet routine of work, solitude, and keeping his heart safely guarded. When a missing ornament collection throws the festival into chaos, Margot and Evan find themselves working side by side to uncover the truth. Between early mornings at the marina, late-night planning sessions, and a small coastal town determined to celebrate Christmas in the middle of summer, an unexpected friendship begins to grow. But trust doesn't come easily to either of them. As the festival races toward its grand finale, Margot and Evan must decide whether the past deserves the final word—or whether some gifts arrive when you least expect them. Set in the charming coastal town of Harbor's Hope, Christmas in July at Harbor's Hope is a heartwarming clean romance filled with holiday charm, community, faith, second chances, and a love story that proves it's never too late to begin again. Perfect for readers of Debbie Macomber, Sherryl Woods, and Denise Hunter. read more
