Where The Heart Heals

She ran to escape the grief. He stayed behind to keep watch.

Nora Whitmore never planned to spend Christmas in Oakhaven. Returning only to settle her family’s estate, she expects cold rooms, bitter memories, and a quick departure. She doesn’t expect a flooded parlor—or Callum Hayes arriving at her door with a toolbox and seven years of unspoken love in his eyes.

Cut off by a mountain blizzard and huddled by candlelight, the former sweethearts are forced to confront the fatal misunderstanding that tore them apart. As old wounds are laid bare against the magic of a snowbound Christmas Eve, they discover that some breaks don't ruin the grain; they just teach it how to hold.
