Under Winter's Lantern
Every winter, the river remembers.
Jonah Whitaker has returned to Alder Creek, a town blanketed in snow and memories. As the Solstice Lantern Walk lights the frozen river in golden hues, old feelings stir, unspoken confessions bubble to the surface, and the boy who once shared laughter and snowball fights with him-Eli Mercer-returns to reclaim a place in his heart.
From tentative touches to lingering glances, from childhood secrets to decades of longing, Jonah and Eli navigate the delicate magic of love rediscovered, where every lantern, every footprint in the snow, and every whispered memory carries them closer together.
Under Winter's Lantern is a tender, slow-burn gay romance novella about friendship, memory, and the enduring pull of first love.
