When December had had her fill
of bad boyfriends, she cashed in her savings and made her dream a reality. She
is now the proud owner of December’s Light, the towns first candle boutique.
Entrepreneurship has left little time for play – or men – over the last two
years.
Chase, the new guy in town,
stumbles upon December’s Light while on the search for a birthday gift for his
sister. He finds a lot more than the perfect scented candle inside the shop
though.
But can December allow her heart
to open up to this man after she learns his secret?
Amazon Exclusive:
“Well, December,
I’m Chase, can I buy you a cup of coffee after work? I just got to town,
working on the big building that’s going up in town and you happen to be the
first person I’ve met,” he said as he grabbed the Winter Snowflake Collection
basket. “This should do, she likes snowflakes.”
“I’ll ring you up
at the counter,” I said as I walked around the display case to the register.
“Thirty five even is your total, did you want this gift wrapped?”
“No gift wrap today, but I would like that coffee tonight,” he said with a smile so wide it looked like he was posing for a toothpaste ad.
“Um,” I hesitated.
“She’d love to, what time?” Lumi came up behind me wrapping her arm around my shoulders. I was going to beat her as soon as this man left!
“Great!” He
exclaimed, never taking his eyes off mine, “I get off work at seven so pick you
up at seven thirty? I have to run home and take a shower, I’m with the builders
down the road,” He said holding up the palms of his hands, that were in fact
pretty dirty.
“I guess a cup of
coffee wouldn’t hurt, seven thirty is good,” I couldn’t believe I gave in that
easily. He was pretty to look at though; a little eye candy to commit to memory
for my lonely nights in bed may not be such a bad idea.
“Alright, I’ll see
you then,” he turned and walked out the door and I let out a sigh.
“Squee!” Lumi shrieked as she bounded over to me clapping her hands like she was a two year old that just saw Santa for the first time.
