THE CHRISTMAS COTTAGE/FOREVER AFTER are two stories that are tied to a belief that any couple who spends the night in the Christmas cottage will have everlasting love. One of the couple's future life is planned to perfection with everything planned down to spending their wedding night in the Christmas cottage. The other couple ends up snowed in at the Christmas cottage and finding that they can live a happily ever after life. Is it the spending the night at the cottage that determines everlasting love, or is it what was meant to be?

THE CHRISTMAS COTTAGE

Lacey Quinn does not believe in happily ever after or the legend of the Christmas cottage. But her best friend Ava does and she is driving Lacey crazy with all her wedding plans. Since she is the maid of honor, she is stuck with making sure all of Ava's plans for her wedding night at the cottage are taken care of. She winds up snowed in at the cottage with the brother of the bride-to-be. It's been twelve years since Lacey has seen Ean Callahan. The last time they saw each other was when Ean had just graduated from high school and was getting ready to leave for college. Fourteen-year-old Lacey saw this as her only opportunity to profess her love for him - - which he did receive too well.

EVER AFTER

Ava Callahan desperately believes in everlasting love and the legend of the Christmas cottage. She thinks that everything has to be perfect in order for love to happen. So when Brian McCabe tells her that he loves her, she feels the need to orchestrate everything before she can admit that she loves him. She constantly doubts herself and does not trust her feelings.

Both of these stories prove love is not about perfection but about trusting your feelings and being confident in your feelings for each other.
