About the author

Rachel Hanna is a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of over 50 clean Southern romance and women’s fiction novels. Her books are set in charming beach towns and cozy mountain communities, packed with sweet romance, strong women, and small-town heart — no explicit content, just great stories.

The Silver Bell

Eve Carlisle has spent the past three years hiding behind tinsel and twinkle lights. At 52, she’s the proud owner of The Silver Bell, Wexley Island’s beloved Christmas shop—known for its magical window displays, custom ornaments, and the feeling that anything is possible during the holidays. But behind Eve’s perfectly wrapped storefront is a woman who dreads the very season she’s made a business out of, still grieving the husband she lost far too soon.

Then Jack Baldwin arrives on the island with his three spirited children and a book deadline. He’s a historian writing about traditional American Christmases, and Wexley seems like the perfect place to spend December. His youngest daughter stumbles into The Silver Bell one afternoon—and keeps coming back, enchanted by Eve, her shop, and the stories tucked inside every ornament.
