Holiday romance, second chances, and new beginnings... The Manger House is a heartwarming, romantic women's fiction about the true meaning of Christmas. Tatum Sageberry always wanted to open an animal shelter. Now she's got the property but not a clue where to begin. Enter local bachelor Rip Van Dam, a family friend who’s been looking for the chance to spend time with the pretty new islander. What’s more? He’s a pet-lover, too. But Tatum has only one thing on her mind: and it has nothing to do with meeting under the mistletoe. Meanwhile, Tatum’s sisters are in the thick of their own fresh starts. Cadence is opening her own new business: an all-inclusive events venue. And just in time for the holiday season. But with property management, the new business, and her return to the classroom—it’s too much, and she’s about to lose her grip for good. Darla’s life has been turned upside down, and she is second-guessing everything, not least of which the only anchor she has: teaching. Work was always a safe haven for the sensible thirty-something, but now a new romance is drifting in like softly falling snow, her sisters are starting new businesses, and Darla is going through the biggest change of her life. If things don’t settle down fast, Darla can’t imagine sticking around Heirloom Island for much longer. This Christmas could be the best ever—complete with the sisters’ famous gooseberry pie, decked halls, and hot cocoa by the fire. But only if they can find their holiday spirit together, amidst all the madness of the yuletide season. Head to Heirloom Island in this heartwarming series about three sisters and the charming small town they come to call home. With enemies-to-lovers romance, sister drama, and small-town charm, The Manger House is the perfect Christmas story.
