Author: Belle Calhoune

Belle Calhoune writes contemporary inspirational romance about families, community ties, and fresh beginnings. Summer on Blackberry Beach is the second Mistletoe, Maine novel, returning to the coastal town introduced in Christmas in Mistletoe. The book develops a new relationship within a setting where neighbours, relatives, and local businesses remain part of the story rather than background decoration. Calhoune's broader work includes the Pelican Harbor series, the Seven Brides for Seven Brothers books, and the Alaska Blackstone Legacy sequence. Her novels frequently place protagonists at a turning point involving home, responsibility, or a damaged sense of trust. Summer on Blackberry Beach uses its seasonal setting to contrast a welcoming holiday destination with the harder decisions its characters must make about their future. As part of a connected series, it also expands Mistletoe through recurring people and places, giving the romance consequences within a continuing fictional community.
