Chapter 1
RIDING OUT THE STORM
BY CYNTHIA TERELST
Dan has waited fifty years to get Lorraine alone…
After decades of missed chances, he finally has one weekend to see if something more could grow between them.
When Dan invites Lorraine on a winter weekend getaway to the Snowy Mountains, she hesitates. She doesn't know if three dates can translate into a whole weekend together, especially for someone as independent as her.
When a snowstorm traps them in a cosy cabin, old feelings resurface—along with fears that time, life, and responsibilities have kept buried.
Dan is steady, patient, and stubbornly in love. Lorraine is guarded, uncertain, and still healing from a marriage where she always came second. By the warmth of the fire, they find comfort in shared memories and discover passion doesn’t fade with age.
When echoes of the past threaten to unravel their bond, Lorraine must decide if she can trust Dan—and herself—with a chance at forever.
