High school sweethearts stand in divorce court wondering how the fairytale curdled, until a judge’s delay hands them one last winter together. Small-town second-chance marriage romance with a blizzard, one bed and everything left unsaid.
The Judge Delayed The Divorce. The Blizzard Did The Rest.
We were the classic cliche: small-town high school couple where the brainy girl tutors the hot, swoony quarterback and they fall in love. Then they live happily ever after.
But that only happens in fairytales, because our marriage is in trouble. Big trouble.
Troy gets to keep the job he loves as a firefighter, his annoyingly good looks, his lean muscular build, and his wicked skills in the bedroom. I get the house, twenty extra pounds I can’t shake, and lingering depression.
Seems fair.
But here’s the thing about a court-mandated slowdown of your divorce: now that we’re apart, Troy and I spend more time together than we did in the last few years of our marriage. We’re talking more. Laughing some. We’re both working harder to be our best selves, something we failed at while our marriage was crashing and burning.
Maybe time, a little perspective, and being snowed in together during a blizzard with only one bed is all we need to see there might still be something between us worth fighting for.
With only days left until our final day in court, I have to figure out whether I’m ready to say goodbye to our love, or whether I’m going to fight for our marriage.
Dream With Me is Book Five in the Elladine Fire series, a small-town second-chance romance, for readers who love second-chance marriage, snowed-in forced proximity and only one bed. Perfect for fans of Lucy Score, Tessa Bailey and Penny Reid. The Elladine Fire books are five interconnected standalones that can be read in any order; Finley recommends reading Come Back to Me before Stay with Me to avoid spoilers.

Finley is a voracious reader. She often loses herself (and sleep) for hours at a time into the world of whatever book she is reading… especially if she’s lucky enough to be relaxing somewhere on a warm beach near the ocean. Which doesn't happen nearly enough.
She loves gardening, being out in nature, and her fur babies. Her husband isn't so bad, either. She’s also obsessed with watching the owls that live in a nesting box in her back yard. That means if you follow her newsletter, you’ll undoubtedly see lots of pics featuring flowers, pups, and owls!
Finley lives in the Northeastern United States.
