Overview

Snow. Lanterns. Found family. A winter welcome to the village where love always feels like coming home.

When a storm closes in on the seaside village of Brightmere, the inn becomes a refuge for more than just travelers. Gruff innkeeper Luke finds himself reluctantly hosting a planning meeting for the lantern parade, alongside gentle teacher Ravi, warm-hearted café owner Tom, and flamboyant bookshop keeper Kit.

What begins as an evening of lists and lanterns turns into something far richer: the warmth of friendship, the spark of unexpected connection, and the first threads of a community you’ll want to return to again and again.

A Brightmere Winter Welcome is a cozy MM romance prequel novella introducing the Brightmere Boys series. Expect storms rattling the windows, lanterns glowing against the cliffs, cinnamon-scented evenings at the café, and the promise of love waiting just around the corner.
