The Christmas Candle
Arabella Larkspur
After tragedy strips Lucy Bennett of everything she once believed secure, she devotes her life to caring for her siblings and serving her struggling community. On Christmas Eve, she lights a single candle — a quiet ritual of remembrance — never imagining that it will mark the beginning of something new.
When a reserved stranger named Edward Fairleigh offers his help restoring a ruined chapel, a tentative friendship blossoms through shared labour, whispered conversations, and small acts of kindness. Together, they create a refuge for Bath’s forgotten children and weary souls — and, slowly, a place for their own hearts to heal.
But Edward carries a past entwined with Lucy’s deepest sorrow, and when the truth comes to light, love must face its hardest test.
Tender, atmospheric, and rich with seasonal warmth, The Christmas Candle is a Victorian Christmas romance about community, faith, and the quiet miracle of choosing joy after loss.
