A Christmas Dream by James Reaves I wasn't supposed to fall for him again. Not after he left. Not after everything. But when Ethan Cross returned to Pinecrest-his boots dusted with snow and eyes full of memory-my heart whispered the tune it never forgot. He came with paperwork and plans, ready to assess the lodge I've fought to save since my father passed. What he didn't count on was the way music still fills these halls... or how belief lingers in candlelight and cedar.
As Christmas approaches and a forgotten photograph and hidden memory offers hope, Ethan and I must decide what truly matters: preservation, forgiveness, and maybe love reborn in snowfall. A concert, a child's verse, and the promise of a robin waiting in the crook of a tree begin to write a story neither of us saw coming.
Set in a town where memory lives in twinkle lights and love returns on quiet wings, A Christmas Dream is a tender second-chance romance of hope, music, and the home we find in each other.
