Set in the breathtaking coastal California town of Miramar Bay, this uplifting new novel from internationally bestselling author Davis Bunn celebrates the challenges and triumphs of new beginnings, second chances, romance and redemption, and faith in the future. For fans of Nicholas Sparks and Karen Kingsbury. When life is in turmoil . . . Pushing through his troubled childhood, Dillon Farrow was seventeen when he said goodbye to Miramar and did himself proud, thriving as a successful investment counselor. But a betrayal by a trusted friend has brought everything crashing down. Dillon’s only recourse—return to Miramar, penniless and feeling defeated—more so when a winter flood sweeps away all roads to town. Now he and his fellow stranded travelers are destined to spend Christmas at the only available accommodations—the local jail. Yet it’s in this makeshift inn that Dillon sees her. His first love. The girl he left behind. There’s always hope if you wait out the storm . . . After an emotionally and financially devastating divorce, Olivia Greer has no choice but to come back to her hometown of Miramar. Less a retreat than a surrender, it’s the first time in years—since Olivia’s mother, her best friend for life, passed away. In the interim, their hillside cottage has remained empty, as forlorn as Olivia herself. The flood only seems like fate testing her resilience one more time. But providence comes in myriad forms: Dillon Farrow, the sweet boy who once had dreams of better things. Just like Olivia. The future can hold dreams as well. Crossing paths is a Christmas blessing Dillon and Olivia never expected—a reunion with the potential to impact other lives too. And for both of them, perhaps in the cottage on the hill, Miramar could finally start feeling like home again.

There’s a legend about the Christmas cottage: any couple who spends the night will find their happily ever after. But Lacey Quinn doesn’t believe in things like happily ever afters, much less the legend of the Christmas cottage. The only reason she’s even in the cottage in the first place is to fulfill her maid of honor duties and make sure it’s fully decorated for the newlyweds. It was supposed to be a simple task. Then sexy Ean Callahan, the bride-to-be’s brother, walked in. With Ean’s help, decorating should have been a breeze. But Mother Nature decided she had other plans and they soon find themselves trapped in the cottage by a blizzard. She might tell herself she doesn’t believe in legends, but a snowy night in a romantic cottage is the perfect setting for Lacey to start wondering if there is something to be said about fairy tales and true love.
