What if the love of your life only existed in your dreams?

By day, Sam Cooper is a disciplined American diplomat stationed in Singapore. By night, he's pulled into vivid, recurring dreams that feel more real than reality, immersing him in deep emotional connections with three extraordinary women, each living in a different city: Los Angeles, Paris, and Dubai. One dream lingers for nights, even weeks, before another emerges—ushering in a new city, and a new connection.

As the boundaries between waking and dreaming begin to blur, Sam finds himself drawn deeper into lives that may not be his—but somehow feel like they are. With Shiva, Céline, and Lara—women he's never met in real life, he experiences intimacy, longing, and the haunting sense that these relationships are destined.

Meanwhile, his complicated relationship with Kate in the real world begins to echo the emotional pull of his dreams. Torn between two realms, Sam must decide whether to live in the world as it is—or as he believes it could be.

The Good Nights is a sweeping novel of memory, fate, and the mysterious power of connection. Blending magical realism with contemporary emotion, it explores the fragile space between what is real and what is dreamed.
