Just wanted to share a snippet from my Christmas novella :)
Christmas is supposed to be a joyous
time of year, but for Harper Donaldson it’s just another day. Orphaned at an early age, she doesn’t have a
single good memory of Christmas.
But, when a
Santa’s Mailbox mysteriously appears in the lobby of the post office where she
works as postmistress, Harper wonders what it could hurt to send her own letter
to Santa.
Could he
bring her the family she’d always wanted?
He could hear the tension in her voice. “Would you relax? Everything will go just fine.”
“I can’t relax, I know how small towns are. We show up together and everyone will know. Or think they do.”
Harper moved the iron cord aside and dug through her drawer in search of something, completely ignoring him. By God, she’s as stubborn as she is neurotic.
“Yep, that’s right. The whole town will know the horrible truth. Everyone will know I’m in love with the postmistress. Is that so bad?”
Harper stopped what she was doing and looked at him in her dresser mirror.
“What did you just say?”
“I said, is that so bad?”
She elbowed him in the ribs. “Not that, you oaf, the other part.” She was staring, eyebrows arched.
“Oh, you mean the part where I said I’m in love with you?” He took pleasure in the surprised look on her face. He’d happily spend a lifetime bringing out that same look. She turned to face him.
“You love me?” A brilliant light flashed in her eyes. She threw her arms around his neck and squeezed. “I love you, too, Fin.” She leaned away a little. “I’m not really sure how it happened this fast, and without me really even realizing it until just now, but it feels right. Natural.”
“For me, too, sweetheart.” He hugged her tight and swatted her butt. “Now, you better get a move on or we’ll be late.” He ran down the hall to the shower, leaving her to smile after him.
Sounds like a great romance!
