Romance
Blurb:
Christmas Eve, 1967. Two strangers united by mutual loss find the love they’ve been searching for.
After surviving captivity in a Vietnam prison camp, Master Sergeant Abraham Marley Fiske longs more than ever for a loving family life, but he doesn’t believe it’s in his future. Then a promise to a deceased friend sends him to the woman who can make his dream come true.
Since her brother was killed in Vietnam, Angela Franco has been caring for her young niece. She never expected to fall in love with her brother’s best friend, but when she meets Abe, she can’t ignore her feelings for him. Having lost her brother, will she now risk her heart by planning a future with Abe?
Note: Angela’s Kiss was previously published as His Sister’s Kiss. This is a re-edited version and contains additional scenes.
Excerpt:
When they reached the car, he chuckled. The deep, amused sound warmed Angela to her toes and soothed her frustration after the visit with her parents.
“I told you!” she said. “Now do you understand why Jim didn’t want them to raise Polly? I’m surprised the two of us grew up without losing our minds completely.”
“I think they mean well.”
“They drive me crazy!”
“Your ma’s a good cook.”
“Food. Is that all men care about?”
“Not all.” He glanced at her.
The look in his eye made her shiver with desire. It was exactly how he had looked last night before he kissed her. She had the feeling that if he hadn’t been concentrating on maneuvering the car down the icy road, he would have done so again.
It was dark with they reached her house. The freezing rain had stopped and moonlight bathed the front yard.
“Thank you for inviting me for Christmas,” he said once he had parked the car and turned to her.
“Thank you for the ride.”
“You’re welcome.”
His gaze burned into her. In spite of the frigid weather outside, she’d never felt warmer.
“Would you like to come in, Abe?”
“Would you like me to come in?”
She swallowed, her gaze sweeping his handsome face as she recalled the softness of his lips and the hardness of his body. “Yes, very much.”
