WHEN THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON
A Small-Town Friends-to-Lovers Christmas Romance
Some loves wait in silence.
Some awaken too late.
And some change everything when the lights finally come back on.
Ethan Cole has spent his entire life in a town that remembers everything—including the one truth he never dared to speak out loud. For over a decade, he’s loved his best friend in secret… and survived by pretending he never did.
Lucas Reed was never supposed to stay. The city gave him purpose. Medicine gave him direction. And running from the past kept his heart safe—until a Christmas return he never planned shatters everything he thought he knew about himself.
Because one kiss under winter lights changes the rules.
And one confession exposes years of buried truth.
Now Lucas is discovering his heart in ways he never expected, while Ethan is faced with the one thing he can’t survive twice: becoming a temporary choice. Between snow-covered nights, quiet longing, jealous heat, and a town that watches everything, they stand on the edge of a love that could finally be real… or break them both.
