The Last Blue Christmas

Lilith Angstrom thought her high school sweetheart had disappeared forever when he left her to chase his dreams of big business. That was, until she bumped into him, twenty years later, in a quaint little town near the Great Smoky Mountains.Presley had found her runaway puppy.Lilith hadn't expected Priscilla to be so rambunctious or quick, especially in the slippery, fall leaves. With her late husband's departure and both her children off to college, Lilith adopted the toy poodle to fill the silence. She took a traveling nursing position to keep herself busy, and it led her straight back to Presley's shining blue eyes and that smirk that held back a joke that could lighten any mood even on a rainy day.Handsome as ever, with a dose of shyness she didn't remember, Lilith isn't sure what to do about Presley. She'd loved him deeply, even envisioned a family with him. He'd thrown it all away, for what? But Presley has held a secret pain behind his smile since the day he knew what he had to do.Can Lilith learn to forgive him? Will Presley confess? Or will the fresh reminder of what's been lost start the first of many extra blue Christmases to come?A clean (no cursing or intimacy), sweet, second chance, holiday romance.
