Hope Hill Christmas Book 4
(2025)(The fourth book in the Hope Hill Holiday Tea series)
A Story by May North
Love is brewing, secrets are stirring—and one rival will stop at nothing to spoil the Christmas season.
A year after inheriting The Honeybee Tea Room, the forty-something Megan St. James has finally found her footing. Between cinnamon-scented mornings, holiday music drifting through the door, and regulars who’ve become like family, her little shop has become the cozy heart of Hope Hill. This Christmas, she’s determined to make it her most magical season yet—especially with the town’s first Christmas in the Garden festival just around the corner.
Caleb Whitmore, a widowed botanist and devoted father, has spent the past three years restoring Hope Hill’s historic botanical gardens while raising his six-year-old daughter. His world revolves around rare flora and bedtime stories—until his partnership with Megan begins to blossom into something deeper.
But when a new tea shop opens just two doors down, Megan’s peace is shattered. The new owner—elegant, calculating, and armed with her so-called ‘superior blends’—seems determined to push The Honeybee Tea Room out of business.
Then it turns stranger when pets across town begin disappearing—including her sister’s beloved cat, Oreo. As the townsfolk grow uneasy, Megan and Caleb race to uncover the connection between the garden sabotage and the missing animals before the festival—and their reputations—are destroyed.
Between snow-dusted hedges, lantern-lit pathways, and the laughter of a little girl who still believes in Christmas miracles, Megan and Caleb discover that love—and truth—can take root even in the coldest season.
Heartfelt, suspenseful, and brimming with small-town holiday magic, Hope Hill Christmas is a clean, cozy romance that will keep readers guessing until the last sip.
