Every family has its season of mending.
After fifty years of marriage, Margaret and Bill Whitaker invite their six grown children home to Boston for Christmas - but what's meant to be a joyful reunion turns into something none of them expected.
For the first time in years, the whole family gathers under one roof: Daniel, the stoic; Annie, the peacemaker; Michael, the fixer; Eliza, the perfectionist; Ben, the dreamer; and Sophie, the optimist. Between tangled lights, burnt cookies, and decades of unspoken hurt, old rivalries spark - and so does the truth.

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

Maybe she's the one who's lost.Complete
Safe in Red Book 2
A found family, a healing heart, and the soft strength of love. After everything Natasha Romanoff has been through, she never expected her next mission to be motherhood. With Lena-a tender-hearted teen with a complicated past-now nestled into her life, Nat is learning that comfort doesn't come from control, but from quiet, ordinary moments: a shared laugh, a late-night story, the weight of a sleepy head on her shoulder. When Yelena unexpectedly walks back into Nat's world, the reunion of sisters brings old memories, unresolved wounds, and a second chance to make things right. As Yelena bonds with Lena, a new kind of family begins to take shape-one built on patience, laughter, and fierce, unconditional love. But even in the peace they've created, shadows linger. Lena battles self-doubt and the fear of being too much. Nat faces the ache of choices made and paths left behind. And Yelena, bold and brash as ever, discovers just how deep love can run. Safe in Red Book 2 is a tender, character-driven story of healing, chosen family, and the magic in everyday love. With heartwarming moments, gentle humor, and emotional growth, this second installment brings comfort and depth to a trio learning how to be whole-together.Complete
