Second Chance by the Fireside

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Fifteen years apart. One failing mountain lodge. And the boy whose heart she broke—now the only man who can save her family's legacy. Corporate project manager Natalie Prescott swore she would never look back after leaving Pine Ridge behind. But when her late great-grandfather's historic mountain lodge faces the auction block, she returns to the snowy Sierra peaks with one final mission: restore Prescott Mountain Lodge before Christmas or watch eighty years of family history turn to kindling. She didn't count on the restoration being run by Reid Callahan. Now a master craftsman and owner of Callahan Woodcraft, Reid has spent fifteen winters building a quiet, uncomplicated life with timber, stone, and hard work. The last thing he needs is Natalie returning with city deadlines, reopening the wounds she left behind the night she walked away. When an early Sierra blizzard cuts power and buries the mountain pass under three feet of snow, forced proximity under the soaring cedar rafters of the Great Hall turns icy tension into crackling firelight. Wrapped in wool blankets before the roaring stone hearth, fifteen years of unspoken regret and lingering desire begin to thaw. Can two guarded hearts rebuild what was broken, or will the ghosts of their past keep them stranded in the cold?
