My brother hands me a beer. I’d love to wipe the smug look off his face. We both know what he’s going to say. I’ve just sealed the deal with Hanna, the girl I’ve loved since high school. Problem is, she doesn’t know something about me. Something that I’m not one hundred percent sure of myself, and if ever there was a time to find out, now would be it. I sip my beer, thinking about my next steps, but instead of doing what I should, I do what I absolutely shouldn’t.
***
I come home from work, expecting to see the love of my life, Liam, there. Instead, the house is void of his things, and most important, he’s not here. He’s blocked my number, tied himself up in meetings, and the only person who will be straight with me about what’s going on doesn’t know a thing. I’m part dumbfounded, part heartbroken, and part pissed off that he left me, days before our wedding. But what I find out is even more heartbreaking, more confusing, and most of all, more pivotal than anything else I’ve ever learned about Liam before.
Can we get past this? Can my long lived dream of having a Christmas wedding really come true? Or is that whole ‘Christmas miracle’ thing bogus?
Holiday romance
Christmas romance
Second chance romance
Happily ever after romance
Steamy romance
Medium heat
Mild foul language
Cliffhanger ending
Fair warning: ALL Sandy's western romances end with a cliffhanger, so if that's not your thing....sorry!
If you're not into addictive, heartwarming, sexy stories about cowboys and the women that they fall fast and hard for...move on.
About the Author
Sandy's first job out of high school was as an assistant animal groomer. Among many other jobs in her career, she's also worked at a prestigious winery that many well-known celebrities have patronized. With a college degree in Administration, she has several years of desk work under her belt, including her most current job at an established charity.
Often found in the lunchroom writing voraciously, Sandy has been called a 'writing machine'. Despite her forty-hour a week job, she still publishes many books each year. With a literary back list born in 2010, Sandy has branched out into several genres.
Married with two children and two furbabies, Sandy is a lover of all things four-legged. A strong advocate of health & fitness, you'll find her doing Yoga in her living room at 5:00 weekday mornings, which is sometimes when new story ideas come to light. Writing, like exercise, is a daily practice for this author. She's received 5 Stars from Readers' Favorite for 'Betrayal Only Comes in Green', and 'The Man with the Black Belt'.
