A grumpy retired lighthouse keeper. A sunshine bookstore owner. A Christmas that changes everything. Tom Brennan has sworn off holiday magic. Three years after losing his beloved wife, the retired lighthouse keeper moved to Silver Sound, Alaska, to escape memories-not make new ones. When the town needs someone to string Christmas lights around the harbor, Tom agrees to handle the technical work. Nothing more. Melody Reeves believes in the power of twinkling lights and community spirit. The bookstore owner has built a cozy haven with Between The Lines, but her own heart remains carefully guarded. When she's paired with Silver Sound's most stubborn bachelor for the lighting project, she expects resistance. She doesn't expect the gentle man hiding behind his gruff exterior. But Christmas has a way of illuminating hidden truths. As they work side by side under Alaska's winter stars, Tom and Melody discover that some lights shine brightest in the darkness-and that love, like hope, has a way of finding even the most wounded hearts. Fans of Debbie Macomber, Susan Mallery, and Brenda Novak will treasure this heartwarming romance that proves it's never too late for a second chance at love. A sweet 30-minute Christmas romance you can read while sipping hot cocoa by the fire. Set in Silver Sound, Alaska-the charming small town from the Love in Alaska series where romance blooms even in the coldest winters.
