On Devonshire Shores
Publication Date: September 2, 2025
The holiday stirs up excitement as fondly remembered guests come to stay and acquaintances grow into more. . . .
With a promise to her youngest sister, Sarah Summers declares that this year’s Christmas at Sea View will exceed all expectations. But an upcoming trip to Scotland—and the prospect of becoming reacquainted with dashing widower Callum Henshall—blows a flurry of doubts into her mind. Sarah had discouraged his attentions before yet soon finds herself once again torn between attraction and duty as alluring thoughts of a second chance at love weave their way into her practical heart.
Meanwhile, seventeen-year-old Georgiana eagerly anticipates the exciting Christmas of her dreams after last year’s dull, disappointing holiday filled with endless chores. She enjoys all the promised parties, music, and dancing, but is taken by surprise when young love comes knocking. Does the festive romance of a Sea View Christmas hold the key to a happily-ever-after for both sisters?
Spend the holiday season with the Summers sisters on the charming Devonshire coast, where family bonds are strengthened, love is rekindled, and Christmas joy abounds.
Julie Klassen’s heartwarming Christmas companion to the On Devonshire Shores series holds themes of friends to more, sisterhood bonds, and matchmaking that will fill you with holiday spirit. This novella can be read separately or along with the series and will appeal to fans of Jane Austen, English Regency romance, and Downtown Abbey.
The Summers family is back, this time for an enchanting holiday season filled with the promise of love and new beginnings.
As the fourth installment in the On Devonshire Shores series, A Sea View Christmas revisits familiar characters while introducing a few new ones. Author Julie Klassen once again captures the essence of a light Regency romance.
Caught between a sense of duty to care for her mother and a growing fondness for a certain Scotsman, Sarah can’t quite make up her mind about the future.
It takes some plotting by Georgie and Colin to push Sarah and Callum together, an effort that provides endless possibilities. Centering the story around the Christmas season serves as an opportunity to showcase local traditions, in addition to those borrowed from Scotland.
The novella offers updates featuring the married characters who starred in previous installments—the sense of continuity ties up the majority of the loose ends.
A Sea View Christmas combines holiday traditions with light-hearted Regency romance.
