| Sweet Contemporary Romance |
Enjoy a sweet feel-good holiday romance for the holidays. It's
Christmas Eve, and the end of a year in which everything Dara loves was lost. Everything
but her little girl and a fierce determination to survive. When a cop brings Christmas
to her door, he brings another gift she never expected to get.
Excerpt
"Mommy?" Christine's young voice broke in on her thoughts.
Dara put down the romance she'd been re-reading, the favorite
she'd had since she was sixteen. She'd sold all her others at a yard sale the previous
week. "What is it, sweetie?"
"Why don't we has a real tree for Chribmas?"
"Why don't we 'have'," she corrected. "Come sit
by me." Dara patted the couch and tucked her chenille robe closer around her.
One arm around Matilda, her cloth doll, Christine climbed up
and cuddled.
Matilda's going to need stuffing before long. Her head flopped
forward, face against her flat chest. When did the lace on her dress get so ragged?
Dara smoothed the doll's dress. "Remember when Daddy went home to heaven before
Christmas last year?"
Christine knuckled her eyes and yawned. "I 'member."
"And then Mommy got hurt in the car accident and couldn't
go to work?"
"Uh huh."
Dara took a deep breath. "Well, it meant there was no money
for a real tree this year. But I'm sure Santa will still bring you presents."
Gifts Dara bought by selling her entire collection of romance novels at a yard sale
at her friend Sherilyn's house. "And we drew a tree, right?" She pointed
at the crayon-bright drawing taped to the wall. Construction paper ornaments decorated
each branch.
"But it doesn't smell like a Chribmas tree."
Dara hugged her. "I know, baby. I know."
"How will Santa leave his presents?" Christine pulled
away and got on her knees. "He can't put them under the tree, Mommy."
"Oh, honey!" She ruffled her daughter's hair, swallowing
the lump in her throat. "Santa will find a way." She leaned forward and
kissed her little girl. "We should get you in bed so he can come. He can't
leave presents while you're awake."
