Christmas Tide: A Season’s Heat Story

This one began with the sound of wind against glass and the quiet ache of loneliness that feels sharper during the holidays. Christmas Tide isn’t about rescue in the way most people think of it — it’s about two men who find warmth in the coldest place, and the courage to let it stay.

Owen’s solitude has always been his armor, and Brian’s grief has been his anchor. When the storm brings them together, both have to decide whether comfort is something fleeting or something that can last beyond the night. Writing it felt like watching two lost lights drift closer until they became one steady glow against the dark.

It’s a story about connection found in the quiet, about choosing presence over fear, and about how even the coldest sea can hold something tender.
