{"product_id":"christmas-at-honeycombe-bay-isbn-9798217302246","title":"Christmas at Honeycombe Bay","description":"\u003cb\u003eTwo Scrooges come together for a festive-free holiday season by the sea and find all their anti-Christmas plans going up in smoke when they decide to play Santa for a single mom and her child.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEloise Garrett thinks Christmas is overpriced, overhyped, and overrated, and without any family to share it with, she feels sad, lonely and isolated. The “season for giving” is just a constant reminder that she’s single, sixty(ish), and staring down retirement. But not this Christmas. Determined to avoid the most magical time of the year, Eloise decides to spend Christmas in Honeycombe Bay. Surely a seaside village in the middle of winter won’t be too festive?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEver since his wife passed away, Bartholomew Knott hasn’t felt up to welcoming visitors to his guest house. With the prospect of another long, lonely winter, and having become more Scrooge than Santa over the years, Bart is dreading Christmas. However, when he’s contacted by someone who dislikes decking the halls just as much as he does, Bart has the brilliant idea of opening the guest house to people who want to escape all things festive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristmas isn’t easy to ignore, though, not even in off-season Honeycombe Bay. So when fate forces Bart to give shelter to a single mother and child whose holiday has been devastated by a terrible fire, Eloise finds herself playing Mrs. Claus to Bart’s Santa—dragging the house’s other guest, a heartbroken teacher looking for a break during the holidays, into the action as well. But holiday cheer isn’t the only thing sparking under the mistletoe. Will the guests at Honeycombe Bay realize that, sometimes, the best way to escape Christmas is to let it into your heart?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristmas at Honeycombe Bay\u003c\/i\u003e features two heartwarming romances and all the holiday romance tropes including: a small-town that is “all in” for Christmas, a later in life romance, a widower hero, forced proximity in a charming B\u0026amp;B, a grumpy\/sunshine couple with a single mom character, and plenty of carols, cocoa, and decking the halls.\u003cb\u003eLilac Mills \u003c\/b\u003elives on a Welsh mountain with her very patient husband and incredibly sweet dog, where she grows veggies (if the slugs don’t get them), bakes (badly), and loves making things out of glitter and glue (a mess, usually). She’s been an avid reader ever since she got her hands on a copy of \u003ci\u003eNoddy Goes to Toytown\u003c\/i\u003e when she was five, and she once tried to read everything in her local library starting with A and working her way through the alphabet. She loves long, hot summer days and cold winter ones snuggled in front of the fire, but whatever the weather she’s usually writing or thinking about writing, with heartwarming romance and happy-ever-afters always on her mind.","brand":"Dell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233027338469,"sku":"NP9798217302246","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9798217302246.jpg?v=1773169717","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/christmas-at-honeycombe-bay-isbn-9798217302246","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
