Can five women with tender hearts find the love they deserve before tomorrow comes and their secrets and pasts are exposed?
***
Christmas loves the holiday she is named after but loves her childhood sweetheart even more. Can she convince him to come back—to the town where he belongs and to her?
Molly buys an old mansion to renovate; and to get as far away from her ex-husband as she can. Is it possible to also restore her broken heart and will the mysterious man she meets on location be the one to do it?
Richelle loses her brother and father in the war and is being forced to marry another. Will the man she truly loves be able to save her before it is too late?
Meredith leaves a comfortable, if unhappy, life behind but finds herself out on the street in the cold. When she saves a man from being robbed, he tries to show her his gratitude by offering her a place to stay. Does she want to return to her street life when he offers her more than a roof over her head?
Emma is racing away from trouble when her car slides into a snowy ditch. Can she trust the man who rescues her; with her life and her heart?
Excerpt
It was four in the morning and Molly had yet to fall asleep. She plumped the already plump pillows and turned over just as the room phone rang.
“Do you want to get some breakfast?”
She recognized his voice. It was the same deep baritone that had been running through her head since he had walked away from her door.
She laughed. “It's four in the morning.”
“Oh, were you sleeping?”
“No.”
There was a pause on the end of the line.
“Molly, I want to see you.”
Her heart skipped a beat and she couldn't think of anything to say. It had seemed forever since a man had paid attention to her, and she was almost afraid to trust her instincts about Joe.
“Why?”
“Because I'm hungry.”
She laughed again, a carefree feeling running through her body that she hadn't had in a very long time.
“No, I didn't mean breakfast. I meant why do you want to see me?”
“Because I'm hungry,” he said again.
She sucked in her breath, a delicious sensation spreading through her. She thought about her life. She was a middle-aged career woman who had always thought well of herself until her husband found he liked young secretaries better. It wasn't a new story, but this time it was her life, damn it, and it hurt. Now, here was Joe, a handsome man who found her interesting. Was it fair to use him to regain her self-esteem?
“I don't think I'm ready for a one night stand, Joe.”
“That's not what I'm asking you for.”
Still, she couldn't make herself say yes.
“Can we do this face to face?” he asked.
“Now?”
“Why not, neither of us is sleeping.”
He had that right.
“OK, do—”
A knock sounded at her door. She opened it to find Joe standing there, cell phone in hand.
“I was hoping you wouldn’t say no,” he said softly, his eyes glowing with passion. He stepped inside and let the door close behind him, shutting out all light and sound so there was just the two of them.
