Description
Every old thing has a story. Some are worth keeping.
Antique dealer Bethany Cole has watched too many of Moonshire Bay’s grand old houses get emptied out and sold to strangers. So when she’s hired to appraise the Foster estate, she knows how this ends.
Especially once she meets the grandson.
Nate Foster flew in from Chicago with a return ticket and one goal. Clear out his late grandmother’s house and sell it before New Year’s. A developer is already waiting with a cash offer.
But Foster House is full of surprises. A cranky orange cat who refuses to leave. An attic sealed shut for years. A crate marked For the Town. And an old summer snapshot that proves Nate and Bethany have met before.
As they sort through a lifetime of heirlooms by the fire, Nate starts to remember what home felt like. And Bethany starts to hope he might stay.
But she learned long ago not to love things that leave.
A cozy, slow-burn Christmas romance about family treasures, small-town history, and the courage to put down roots.
