When Jessalyn Dowrick’s husband left her and their three daughters to head west five years earlier, she had no choice but to pick up the pieces of her broken life and continue without him. She had no idea that her husband was busy building a better life for them, or that he regularly sent her letters and money hoping that she would come to him in South Dakota.

When Thomas finally returns to Eagle Harbor intending to collect his wife and daughters and head west before winter sets in, he doesn’t find a happy family waiting for him. Instead, he finds a woman who thought him dead.

With Christmas quickly approaching, Thomas moves in next door, but the last thing Jessalyn wants is be close to the man who hurt her so deeply. Even if they’re still technically married. Even if Thomas is devoted to starting again and carving out a new life for her and their daughters.

But when Jessalyn finds herself enjoying the comfort of Thomas’s arms a little too much, she finds herself wondering just how hard it would be to give Thomas a second chance for Christmas.

From a USA Today bestselling author comes a small-town, second chance romance filled with new beginnings, enduring dreams, and love that heals wounded hearts.
