Christmas Confessions

Lila Montgomery's life looks as perfectly curated as the chic coastal inn she runs with her boyfriend, Nate Caldwell, on the shores of Cape Henlopen. But behind her polished exterior, she's secretly Ellie Winter—the bestselling author of deliciously spicy holiday romances that make readers blush. When Nate says he has an important question, she's thrilled—but the only thing he proposes is a new business idea. Dr. Elizabeth "Tibby" Harlow, Lila's best friend, left behind a high-powered Manhattan career, a love she never truly let go of, and a secret so devastating she's never spoken it aloud. Now Cape Henlopen's trusted small-town doctor, she's built a quiet life entirely on her own terms. She'll do anything to keep it that way. But days before Christmas, a magnetic journalist checks into the inn and starts asking exactly the wrong questions. In the magic and mayhem of the holiday season, each woman must face the one thing she's been running from: herself. Because sometimes the most courageous thing you can do is unwrap your truth. Christmas Confessions is a heartwarming holiday beach read about the stories we tell ourselves and the courage it takes to finally let them go. Ideal for book clubs. Includes festive holiday recipes inspired by the story—starring a Boozy Christmas Rum Cake. A delicious tradition in every Seaside Secrets novel. Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren, Elin Hilderbrand, and Emily Henry.
