Christmas at Sturcombe Bay by Susanne McCarthy
❄️ Christmas romance
❄️ Second-chance
❄️ Small-town
❄️ Friends-to-lovers
❄️ Slow-burn
A second chance at love, just in time for Christmas.
When Jess calls off her wedding just weeks before the big day, she flees to the coastal village of Sturcombe Bay. Trading wedding plans for Christmas chaos at the fading Carleton Hotel, the last thing she expects is Paul Channing — a rugged local man with an easy charm and captivating smile.
Shelley has learned to keep everyone at arm’s length. But when Canadian pilot Daniel Crocombe steps in to protect her at work, his quiet kindness begins to break through her walls. As Christmas draws closer, Shelley must decide if she dares to believe in love at last.
Widow Kate finds comfort running her seaside café, while Mike, also grieving a loss, devotes himself to the Carleton Hotel. But when a ballroom dance lesson brings them together, one small step rekindles laughter, hope . . . and an unexpected spark.
As fairy lights twinkle across Sturcombe Bay and snow falls on the shore, three couples face their pasts — and discover that love has a way of finding you when you least expect it.
About Susanne McCarthy
I'm a Londoner, though I haven't lived there for many years. But if you're born a Londoner you're always a Londoner. And what could be better than growing up in London in the 60s? The clubs, the live music, the shops - all now passed into legend.
I got fed up with school and left before taking my A levels. Over the next few years I had lots of jobs - measuring fabric in Jones and Higgins in Peckham, cleaning chalets at Butlins Bognor Regis, even a short stint in the Civil Service. Then I decided it was time to grow up, so I went to Liverpool to train as a teacher. I loved life at University, but I wasn't so keen on teaching, so I switched to adult education, which suited me fine.
Shortly after I met my husband we moved to Shropshire, where we lived on the side of a hill with a series of rescued Afghan Hounds, a couple of small terriers, some cats, some birds, some fish, and an iguana called Spike.
A few years ago we decided to move to Devon. My husband is a Devonian, and had always wanted to come home. And me... I wanted to live near the sea. So now we are settled here in South Devon, a twenty minute stroll from the beach. And I love it!
