Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags
She came home for the festival. She stayed because her heart never really left.When Nadia Sinclair returns to her small Canadian hometown after years spent working humanitarian missions overseas, she expects a short visit, a few awkward memories, and the quiet comfort of being unseen. Instead, she walks straight into the glowing aftermath of the midsummer lantern festival and comes face to face with Owen McLeod-the man she once loved, the man she left behind, and the man who still knows how to unsettle her with a single look.Owen is now the town's dependable doctor, a steady presence shaped by military medical service and years of putting other people first. But beneath his calm exterior lives the hurt of being abandoned by the woman who chose the world over him. When a local emergency and a hidden family secret begin to surface, Nadia and Owen are pulled back into each other's lives in ways neither can ignore.As old feelings rise and the truth unfolds, Nadia must decide whether she is still meant to keep running-or whether the life she has been searching for has been waiting for her all along, in the town she tried to leave behind.After the Festival Lights is a tender, emotional second-chance romance filled with small-town charm, healing, hope, and the kind of love that lingers long after the final page.
