Book Description
Novella 1: Pastels and Jingle Bells
Trish Ackerly never
expected to cross paths with Ian Rafferty again, but when she spots the former
bully of her childhood years through her bakery window, she thinks she may just
have been given the best Christmas gift ever: the opportunity to finally
give Ian the comeuppance he deserves.
But clearly she does
not have a knack for this whole revenge thing, because before she can make good
on her plans, Trish gets inadvertently drawn into Ian’s life in an unexpected
way that lets her see just how different the man is from the boy he used to
be. In fact, much to her astonishment, she actually starts to like
the guy.
A lot.
Trouble is, Ian
doesn’t know who she really is, and explaining it to him is going to be a
little difficult now—which is bad news, because Trish is starting to realize
that all she really wants for Christmas this year…is Ian.
