PAIGE'S MIRACLE is the short story that my award-winning Heartwarming novel, A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS, is based on. Here is the back cover copy for A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS, which also applies to this short story: There's a stranger at the door on Christmas Day... Single mother Paige Summerville wants to give her seven-year-old son the Christmas of his dreams. Jason needs surgery to beat the illness that's plagued his young life, leaving Paige desperate to make ends meet. So she turns to a charity that grants the wishes of sick children... Then a stranger arrives bearing gifts for Jason-and for her. He's Daniel Kinsley, a lawyer who's grown cynical about family. But his kindness in making Jason's wishes come true offers him more than he ever imagined. Is there room in Paige's heart for a man who could fulfill all their dreams? And not just at Christmas!

Something Worth Living For (Watty Awards 2011) by nikkichicky

Allison Warner was head over heels in love with her ambitious sport journalist boyfriend, Eric Denton and couldn't picture life without him. But what happens when she is suddenly faced with the reality that she might have to do just that? All Eric ever wanted was to be a sports anchor for Sport Inc. But to get closer to his dream meant moving to New York on the other side of the country, away from the woman he loves. Torn between love and his dream, Eric chooses the latter, leaving a shattered Allison behind. 8 years later Eric returns to his home town only to find that Allison is a single mother to a seven year old that looks exactly like him. This time Eric is faced with the same dilemma, choosing between the woman he always loved and the daughter who quickly stole his heart, or the career he's always wanted. Will he choose his career or realise that there are something more important before it's too late?

The Vicar's Wife by SEViolet

Full edition of flash short The Proposal. Chapters marked by a * are those edited from the rough draft version as of 1-27-23 Flighty, sweet, naïve Hattie Foster is engaged to the country vicar, Jonathon Forsythe. What could possibly go wrong? ~ The object of Hattie's attention stood quietly at his study window, staring dismally at the green pastureland beyond the small vineyard attached to his property. Normally a picture of quiet refinement, his features were set in a faint scowl, lines marring the skin between his brows. The gentleman sitting in a high back chair behind him was equally somber. "How soon?" "It's hard to say, Jon. With things like these..." the smooth voice left off with a shrug. Lips thinning into a hard line, the vicar turned. "Hard to say? My future hangs by fraying strings, and you say, 'hard to say'?" ~

The Price of Greed by lyttlejoe

A labyrinth of lies and deception and a disgraced police detective fighting for his career while pursuing a hopeless romance. A complex crime mystery drama with money and power driving the agendas of wives, lovers, mistresses and one who resorts to killing. © lyttlejoe 9/12/2012

Never Letting Go by Natasha_Smith

They say that what's meant to be, will be. That if something is meant to happen, there will be a way for it to happen. So what if Kaylee Fletcher doesn't believe in those statements anymore? She once did when she was younger and dating a boy who she thought she was going to spend the rest of her life with. They were young but old enough to know the difference between being in love and truly loving someone. They were going to spend the rest of their lives together and were planning on doing so until their lives changed for good. Luca Madden was her one true love and she was his. Their relationship ended because he got a university placement in America as his family were relocating there, which meant that there was no other choice but to end the relationship. He didn't want to end it but it had to be done despite how much it pained him to do so. Now, years later, they've both changed. They're both successful in their own right and have both moved on with their lives. They stay on different sides of the world from each other and go about their day to day lives like nothing ever happened. But what if they met again? Would they rekindle what they once had and move on together? Or will they come to blows and open old wounds that they thought were healed?

Unfamiliar Territory by BecJohnson

Mac Stephens' last birthday was spectacular, for all the wrong reasons. Being unceremoniously dumped with no explanation and then fired from a job she actually enjoyed on the same day that she turned thirty, was enough to send her running straight back home and into the arms of her adoring father. But that was six months ago, and it's time she moved on. Mackinley River Downs has been in the Stephens family for generations, however, it's now also part of a government investigation and Felix Anderson, the broodingly handsome resident manager is forced to do the one thing he swore he'd never do, ask the owner for help. In a dodgy hotdog induced delirium Mac agrees she owes her father a favour and takes off to the other side of the world to help save a business she knows absolutely nothing about, in surroundings she's never seen anything like before. Sparks fly and frustrations burn on the search for common ground in unfamiliar territory.

Seize The Day by MmaroZ

When a blast from the past lands on her doormat, Sophie Beck feels inadequate to face the demons of her youth - namely Miles Langley. She's trying to craft her way as an illustrator, despite the scorn of her ultra successful brother, and knows that she's not yet the person she wants to be when she confronts her painful childhood crush. Up step her best friends, Vincenza helping with the sophistication, and reluctantly reliable, dashing Bill stands in as her date. All goes well, but afterwards relationships change, and as she faces losing her best friends she tries desperately to push her fledgling career and keep herself out of poverty.

SECRET & SCARS by iraverse66

𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐗 𝐉𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐯𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐧. In a world that screams, I stand in despair, My voice drowned out, lost in the air. Chains of tradition tighten each day, I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay. Each breath I take feels heavy and torn, Every mistake a scar I've worn. I crave a sky where I can be free, Away from the walls that imprison me. For now, I sit with my heart in pain, Silent, yet screaming, again and again. Though shattered, a spark in me still survives, Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.

The Aftermath Of You by shelleyinon

She'd far rather stay on the sofa and eat warmed-up soup instead, but she is determined to move on from her old relationship, and even put on a bit of weight! Everything Toni tries soon turns pear shaped and she is forced to face her past. Only then will she realize that her future began long, long ago. ###
