Hosting Christmas at the cottage this year sounded like the perfect plan...

At least that's what everyone thought.

Helen couldn't be more pleased to see her daughters, their husbands, and the kids gathered together. The Matthews have always been big on family. This year, with her grandson's arrival, and her daughter, Payton, settled in a new marriage, it was the perfect time to start a new holiday tradition!

The chatter around the Christmas dinner table is usually merry and bright. So, what could possibly go wrong?

In the fourth book of The Pelican Beach Series, a family secret is sure to turn things upside down just in time for the holidays.

It all starts when one individual becomes very curious about a family secret. Will the curiosity spiral out of control and ruin Christmas for the Matthews?

All Helen can think about is trimming the tree, gingerbread houses, and listening to her favorite holiday songs.

Will her visions of the perfect Christmas backfire? More importantly, will some of their deepest family secrets be revealed?
