A Kiss Under The Kismet Tree
The letters had strangely stopped from my long-time American pen pal, until I got another letter to explain the sad reason why. Devastated to learn that Sara had tragically died, I could only mourn her untimely death and her faraway loss. Now, the long-distance letters have slowly began to arrive back through my door, just as they used to before. They are now coming from the brother of Sara...the one who first wrote to me about the truly sad passing of his sister. One word at a time, this man is beginning to intrigue me. One word at a time, he is making me want to read more from him. But Cary Dean lives in New England, and I live by the sea in Dorset. I can't let him intrigue me. I can't want to read more of his words. I'm Rosa Summers - a hopeless romantic who is totally hopeless with all things romantic, and yet, Cary Dean is managing to write his way deep into my heart, and with Christmas just around the corner, I can't let my silly heart run away with itself. Christmas is all about kindness and laughter. It's about sharing goodwill and spreading joy.... it's not about falling for someone I can't ever be with. But the magical spirit of Christmas... well, let's just say it has other ideas! A KISS UNDER THE KISMET TREE Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2018 K B MallionComplete
