About this eBook

Christmas is a time for family…


A mystery brings Ally Monroe to the idyllic seaside town of Cape Hope, North Carolina. On the quest to find out more about the father who abandoned her, Ally has no intention of getting too involved in the community. Only Cape Hope has a way of drawing people in and, before Ally knows it, she’s falling hard and fast in love with the whole town and its old-fashioned, charming ways – and particularly local single-dad Luke Miller and his adorable daughter Stella.


Volunteer firefighter Luke has been single since his wife died in childbirth six years earlier, making Stella his sole priority. But there’s something compelling about the beautiful out-of-towner and, before long, both Luke and his daughter are welcoming Ally into their home.


She came to Cape Hope looking for family and instead Ally found her way to Luke and Stella – but will they still want her when they realize she’s been lying to them about who she really is and what she’s doing in town?

This book needs a better title or author Clare Connelly needed to tell us more about Luke's volunteer firefighting. Just saying I kinda spend some time looking for the firefighter angle in the book and that is the reason for the 4 star not 5. This book is more of an emotional romance. It is good (other than the title bit). Ally comes to Cape Hope in search for a missing father. Single dad Luke and his daughter Stella happen to met her and life takes a funny turn so to speak. Books as in life are never as we think they are and Ally has to find this out herself. I fell in love with this small town of Cape Hope and simply can not wait to see what more the author gives us in this town.

This is a new author for me and if this is any indication of her work it won't be my last read of her This is a sweet love story about family and redemption Ally Monroe doesn't get involved with anyone she was devastated when her alcoholic father walked out on her mother and her when she was six and made the decision that is she didn't let anyone get close then she couldn't get hurt. Now she has come to Cape Horn trying to find out about the man that left them. What she didn't expect was to get drawn into the life of a small town or the bond that she has formed with a single father and his daughter. Luke Miller hasn't been interested in women since his wife died given birth to his daughter Stella he has made her his entire reson for living So why is drawn to the newcomer to their little town As these two grown closer they will both have to learn to lower their walls if they are to develop a relationship worth having

The story of Ally/Amy and Luke is a touching , and at times heartbreaking one. Ally goes to Cape Hope in search of her father. A man that abandoned her and her mother 20 years before. Little did she know that that search would bring her to Luke , a widower, and his six year old daughter Stella. Ally is keeping secrets about her past and her name, while Luke is willing to open his heart once again. What happens when the lies are revealed, and the trust is lost? Will forgiveness , hope and love prevail or will it be the end of the relationship? Aside from the plot, it’s also a story about how our childhood does in fact mold us as adults. Those hurts are ingrain into the child and hard to overcome. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
