When the Lanterns Rise: A Small-Town Christmas Romance

Sent to assess the historic Snowlight Inn, Boston consultant Mara Kensington expects a quick sale-until a creaky porch (and steady carpenter Luke Hollis) change her plans. With a nor'easter coming and the town's beloved lantern walk at risk, Mara proposes a bold plan to save the inn-and discovers a place, and a person, worth choosing.

Expect beeswax lanterns, cocoa statutes (two marshmallows, minimum), a choir that nearly finds the downbeat, and a covered-bridge proposal that glows. Clean, heartwarming, and perfect for fans of cozy small-town Christmas love stories.

Buy now and step onto the bridge at blue hour-where promises are kept. Great Holiday Gift!
