LAUREN

CIRCLE of FRIENDSMay the circle be unbroken

Christmas. A time for first love…and second chances.

As a girl, Lauren DeStefano fell in love with Cameron Hathaway—the gold boy of Harmony, Massachusetts. The innocence of that first love was followed by grief and by rejection—and finally, a long slow climb to success.

Lauren, now living in Boston, is still close to her circle of Harmony friends—Julia, Cathryn and the others. But she thumbs her nose at the rest of the community…especially when she buys historic Rockland House.

She plans to remodel it in time for Christmas—and gets more than she bargained for. More expenses, more problems…more memories. All of which she figures she can handle. But discovering she still has feelings for Cameron… That's something else. Can the past repeat itself—with a different and happier ending? With marriage to Cam, a home on Harmony…a baby?
