🎄 A Holiday Story Inspired by Beaufort, NC (or “Big Cat,” as I call it in the Crystal Coast Series)
I knew I wanted to write a Christmas story set in the small coastal town I created, inspired by my love of Beaufort, North Carolina. I’ve always loved visiting in the winter — the quiet charm, the marshes, and the thought of finding an old farmhouse tucked along the Intracoastal Waterway. Like Terri, I’ve often dreamed of moving there, of finding a place filled with history and heart, a place that truly felt like home.
The attic scene in this story came straight from my childhood memories. Growing up, a friend lived in an old farmhouse with creaky wooden steps leading up to the attic. At the top sat a dusty wheelchair that gave me the creeps every time I saw it. That haunting image stayed with me and eventually became the inspiration for the attic where Terri discovers Nana’s diary and the love letters from her Vietnam soldier.
This story blends the magic of the holidays with the heartwarming memories of the past and the sweet moments of the present. I hope that, when you read it, you feel the same warmth and nostalgia I felt while writing it.
With love,
Lori
Salty Secrets and Christmas Magic
Terri McMillan craves a fresh start from the city’s relentless grind. When she stumbles upon a charming farmhouse nestled in the salt marsh, a dormant dream stirs inside her. The large home, despite its faded paint and lopsided shutters, offers a chance to foster troubled teens. There’s just one hitch. Her estranged sister has claimed the coastal town for herself, a place where Terri feels anything but welcome. But the house is known to have Christmas magic, not that Terri believes in fairy tales or happily ever afters.
Matt Baker, the nostalgic owner, offers a deal before he sells the home. He’ll renovate the house in exchange for Terri hosting one last family Christmas at the homestead. Sparks fly as they clash over restoration details, their undeniable chemistry simmering beneath the surface. But when they find a dusty hatbox in the attic, revealing a treasure trove of letters and a diary written during the Vietnam War, a past love story unfolds and family secrets are unearthed.
As the magic of Christmas intensifies, can Terri and Matt find solace in unexpected places, even if they find themselves questioning everything they know about love, family, and the power of holiday charm?
