She was sure she’d missed the boat. He’s the sole survivor of a shipwrecked relationship. Will working together to save a beloved theater be enough to keep their heads above water?

Ex-bestselling romance writer Rose Fielding (pen name Carol Springfield) is a Scrooge, with good reason. Every terrible event in her life has happened around Christmas; the death of her parents, finding out about her husband’s affair, and the announcement of pregnancy after pregnancy of her ex-husband’s new wife.

Despite it all, she agrees to spend the holidays with her best friend in the weird island town she’s just moved to; Hope Island, WA. But she’s barely on the ferry when she finds herself on the receiving end of a glare from an annoyingly good-looking man.

In Patrick Dorsett’s defense, he was in a rotten mood; the more he learned about his wife’s death and the things she was hiding from him, the more it tortured him. Then to see this woman on the ferry, with the same strawberry blonde hair, and a face so familiar. It was like the universe was taunting him. Everyone knows Patrick is the reigning Scrooge on the island. But now, SHE is on his island and it’s not big enough for two Scrooges.

Thrown together due to their mutual love of theater, respect and attraction begins to grow between them as they take on a greedy theater owner during the annual staging of A Christmas Carol. But when the ghosts of Christmases past catch up with them, their feelings end up in chains.

Will our grumpy heroes be able to escape the past, embrace the present, and sail happily ever after into the future?

A Christmas for Carol is a small town second-chance holiday romantic comedy with a grumpy hero and heroine that will have you laughing out loud, tearing up, and always wanting more from this hilarious, island community.

Join the wacky residents of Hope Island today and dive into the third book in the Hope Island Holiday Romances!
