Coco's Story

A Christmas Key Novella

By: Stephanie Taylor

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Before she tried to sell the island out from under her daughter, Coco Baxter was just a girl who wanted to be seen.

Coco grew up in Miami with money, privilege, and picture-perfect parents. But behind the designer clothes and poolside smiles were secrets, lies, and a growing storm of betrayal. At sixteen, Coco was angry—and determined to burn it all down.

Shoplifting. Sneaking out. Older boys with fast cars and bad intentions. It was all just a game… until the consequences weren’t so easy to walk away from.

This is the story of how Coco became Coco—the woman Holly Baxter loves, resents, and sometimes doesn’t recognize at all. It’s messy, raw, and painfully real.

Step back in time and find out what made the most controversial woman on Christmas Key the complicated, calculating force she is today.

A Christmas Key companion novella. Can be read anytime in the series.
