The Greatest Gift of
All

All her life it
seemed Jenna was a walking disaster around the
Christmas holidays. Just once - one time - could she
have a pleasant Christmas? Well, it was worth a shot
to wish on a star, just this one time and maybe magic
could happen.

This was a very
cute story proving sometimes wishes do come true.
Sweet.
Excerpt
Jenna couldn’t
resist the opening he’d given her. “So you’re the
only single one, huh?”
“Yep. Still
single. Not even a girlfriend on the horizon. How
about you?”
“No girlfriend on
the horizon for me either.” Jenna was so hung up on
John’s confirmation of heterosexuality that it took
her a second to realize what she’d just said. “No
boyfriend, I mean. Well, there was one, but we broke
up today.”
“Thanks. Don’t
worry. He was kind of a loser anyway. He actually
dumped me over e-mail. Tacky, right?”
“Well I’m glad
you’re keeping your sense of humor.” He chuckled.
“It doesn’t sound like you’ve had a very good day.”
“Let’s not talk
about my day. Let’s talk more about you.” If John
knew every miserable thing that had befallen her
today, he’d probably shove her out of his apartment
and lock the door after her. Not that she’d blame
him. She really should leave. But it was so cozy
sitting here in front of the fire with him, the
schnapps and hot chocolate warming her insides.
She’d leave after she had a few more cookies.
“Ok, what do you
want to know?”
What it would
be like to kiss you. Dang, where had that
come from? How much schnapps was in this drink
anyway? Flustered, Jenna searched for a more
suitable topic, desperately trying to ignore the
idea that in a room so full of Christmas, there had
to be mistletoe hanging somewhere.
