  May the circle be unbroken.
  
  CHRISTMAS.  A TIME FOR FIRST LOVE... AND SECOND CHANCES.
  
  As a girl, Lauren DeStefano fell in love with Cameron Hathaway -- the golden boy of Harmony, Massachusetts.  A rich man's son.  The innocence of first love was followed by grief and by rejection -- and finally, a long slow climb to success.
  
  Now Lauren's doing well as a Boston property investor, but her feelings about Harmony are as complicated as ever.  Still close to her circle of friends, she thumbs her nose at the rest of the community, especially the Hathaways, when she buys historic Rockland House.
  
  She plans to remodel it in time for Christmas -- and gets more than she bargained for, discovering she still has feelings for Cameron....
  
  Can the past repeat itself -- with a different and happier ending?  She'll know by Christmas!
