When Herald Angels Sing (A Festival of Carols #2)

2023. Thomas Sinclair, a one-time bestselling author, hasn’t written anything in five years, not since the tragic death of his beloved wife. But when an old pocket watch and a bundle of love letters reveals a mysterious secret, he discovers the inspiration for a new novel—a love story between an opera singer and a wealthy recluse—one that might just catapult him back into the ranks of the bestsellers once more. And perhaps, a second chance for love. But only if he can believe the impossible.

1863. Arabella Somers dreams of one day starring in the Metropolitan Opera House in Philadelphia, if she can only set aside the sorrows that haunt her. With her parents long since in their graves, Arabella has only her brother as her family. But with nearly every able-bodied man called away to war, including her brother, she lives a solitary life away from the opera house. Until a mysterious newspaper correspondent crosses her path. But why is she so drawn to him and how can she feel such instant love for a man she has never met before?

A dual-timeline story that reminds us that Christmas and second-chance love have the power to heal the most broken of hearts.
