Sophie DiRossi loved her home town of Harmony Harbor.
Due to circumstances, she had to leave town at an early
age. Sophie was with child and wouldn't reveal who the
father was.
Liam Gallagher is also from Harmony Harbor. He left town
and became a fireman in Boston. Liam just couldn't stay
there after his mother and younger sister were killed in
a car accident. Liam returned to Harmony House to
recover from a gunshot wound when on duty.
Sophie and Liam had a past history. Now both are back in
Harmony Harbor. Sophie has returned with her young
daughter, she is out of money and looking
for a job. There has always been a small war of sorts
between the DiRossis and the Gallaghers. No one really
knows the full story. Sophie is offered a job by the
matriarch of the Gallagher family. Her grandma, Rosa is
not real happy about this but she knows that Sophie needs
a job.
The old mansion that belongs to the Gallaghers is in
financial trouble. Sophie's first task is to get the
mansion back to the way it was years ago. The first big
reception is the marriage of Michael Gallagher and his
fiancé. Sophie is afraid to see Michael as she always
thought that he was the father of her child. Sophie and
Liam become close, but not close enough to tell
him her little secret. Until the child services come to
call. Sophie explains everything to Liam and Liam has his
own little secret to tell.
I love Debbie Mason's books. One after the other always
makes me smile. This one is no different. Debbie shows
the effects of a small town. I always wanted to live in
a small town. Where people know everything, they are
there to help in a second. Debbie shows how past secrets
somehow will come out in the end. In this case it was a
happy one.
The holidays are over, but MISTLETOE COTTAGE will bring warmth
to your heart no matter what time of the year.
'Tis the season for love . . .
Sophie DiRossi loved growing up in Harmony Harbor. But after
fleeing in disgrace many years ago, it is the last
place she wants to be. Left homeless by a fire, she's
forced to go back to the small coastal town that harbors a
million secrets, including her own. Sophie sees this secret
reflected every day in her daughter's blue eyes-and she must
keep it hidden from the only man she has ever loved.
Sophie's return is a shock for everyone . . . especially
Liam Gallagher. The firefighter had some serious feelings
for Sophie-and seeing her again sparks a desire so fierce it
takes his breath away. Now Liam will do whatever it takes to
show Sophie that they deserve a second chance at love, even
if everything they've concealed threatens to keep them
apart. In this special town at this special time of the
year, Sophie and Liam can only hope for a little holiday
magic . . .
