An abandoned baby plays matchmaker in this heartwarming holiday story in the Jewell Cove series.

When Charlie and Dave discover an abandoned baby in the church manger, their first date takes an unconventional turn. Before Charlie can say “Baby Jesus,” she finds herself providing foster care for the newborn while still tending to her medical practice. Ex-SEAL Dave Ricker is used to adjusting on the fly and turns out to be a surprising help. That is, until she learns that he has an ex and a young daughter in a nearby city. Clearly there are hidden depths to the hunky shipbuilder…

Dave feels himself falling for Charlie, but she wants promises he can’t make, security he can’t offer. He’s already failed as a husband and father once. When the baby’s birth mother is located, Charlie’s world falls apart. Dave gives her comfort, but can he offer her forever in time for a perfect Christmas?
