The Five Days Between Us

A Second Chance Holiday Romance

She built walls no one could breach. He finally learned to stay. Three years after signing their divorce papers, attorney Diana Vasquez wants nothing more than a quiet Christmas alone. When a freak blizzard traps her in a remote Colorado cabin with the last person she expected to see, escape is no longer an option. Jonah Merritt has spent a year in therapy learning why he ran from the only woman he ever loved.
Now, with five days of enforced proximity and nowhere to hide, old arguments rise like smoke from the fireplace, carrying the ashes of everything they destroyed. But the storm outside is nothing compared to the one building within. Every shared meal, every sleepless night by the fire, every accidental touch reminds them both of what they lost and what they never stopped wanting.
She carries their wedding ring in her purse. He wears his on a chain around his neck. Some silences break you. Others break you open. With Christmas approaching and the snow still falling, Diana and Jonah must decide: Will they finally say the words that could heal them, or retreat into the safety of separate lives? Because choosing love again means risking everything, and the walls they built might be the only things keeping their hearts from shattering completely.
