A Million Tomorrows

TO: Commander Mark Edwards, USN, USS Silvership:

"...I'm sure you understand why I must withdraw my acceptance of your marriage proposal [STOP] Thanks for making my Thanksgiving cruise one I'll always remember [STOP] Wishing you the best life offers...."

Mark refused to believe the lettergram Cecelia had sent him. Granted, things had moved fast -- from first kiss to marriage proposal during a one-week cruise. But love struck in surprising ways, and theirs had been a true meeting of souls. But how was Mark to make Cecelia believe their future was meant to be when they were miles apart?

Then Mark's submarine mission took him to Florida. From there, it was easy to get a plane to Massachusetts -- and the woman he hoped to find waiting for him. In one glorious week filled with snow, the spirit of Christmas and Cecelia's breathtaking smile, destiny was on his side. Now all he had to do was convince one beautiful but wary Bostonian to trust her heart.
