The Christmas Candle – Kobo eBook

She fell in love with the one man who knew the truth about her fianc’s death.

Lucy Bennett has already lost more than most women could bear. Her parents are gone, her fianc was taken by a shipwreck, and the responsibility of raising her two younger siblings rests entirely upon her shoulders.

Love is a luxury she can no longer afford.

But when she discovers a crumbling chapel in a forgotten corner of Victorian Bath, Lucy finds a purpose beyond mere survival. And when a reserved stranger named Edward Fairleigh offers to help restore it, she finds something far more dangerous.

Hope.

Edward is everything she has taught herself not to want. Patient, gentle and quietly devoted, he understands her grief in ways no one else can. Yet beneath his kindness lies a secret he cannot bring himself to confess.

For Edward was aboard the ship on which Lucy’s beloved James lost his life.

And the decisions he made that terrible night have haunted him ever since.

As their growing love collides with the truth, Lucy is forced to confront a choice she never imagined making. Can she give her heart to a man whose past is inseparable from her greatest sorrow?

With Christmas drawing near and the chapel’s candles waiting to be lit, two broken souls must discover whether forgiveness is possibleand whether love can survive the truth.
