While all of London waits for snow, an orphanage in need holds holiday cheer, sparks of love, and secrets waiting to be discovered.
When Ebeneezer Scrooge's former fiancée, Belle Beaumont, unexpectedly inherits a struggling London orphanage, she dreams of giving the children of Haven House the most splendid Christmas they've ever known. But her vision of snowflakes and merriment quickly collides with reality: Fire damage has rendered part of the building unsafe, and the paperwork is years behind.
Barrister Rafe Munro is fighting to clear an innocent man and searching for a child, who may be his relative. His pursuit leads him to Haven House, where Rafe offers to help Belle sort through the chaotic records that might lead to the missing child. Amid the mayhem of running an orphanage full of mischievous children and eccentric staff, will Belle and Rafe find love and the answers they seek this holiday season?
Review:
I loved this story as we see the incredibly kind Belle Beaumont and what has happened to her after her painful breakup with Ebenezer Scrooge years before. Watching her invest her life into the orphans of Haven House is just the kind of story that will warm your heart.
Rafe Munro is the kind of barrister that fights for justice and will give his very best to see that happen. I love the twist that occurs with one of his cases as I didn’t expect that at all.
