Four Romantic Festive Stories
’Twas the Month Before Christmas
Following a brief but intense relationship, Cat hasn’t clapped eyes on Ran since both were at university, until he walks into her craft shop in the run-up to Christmas. Could there still be a romantic spark, or has too much water passed under the bridge?
Forever Christmas
Elderly and frail, Annie fondly recalls other Christmases when this wasn’t the case. From the comfort of her armchair she relives happy memories from her childhood in the nineteen thirties, as a newly married bride at the end of World War Two and during the nineteen fifties when her daughter was a child.
All We Want for Christmas
Esther’s husband, the Duke of Kelk and Foston, has been missing for years so wouldn’t know he’d left his wife pregnant and he has fathered twin sons. In Barbados, Sir Chanty Coombe has only the vaguest recollection of how he arrived on the island apart from a few half-remembered snippets of a previous life he can make no sense of. Determined to solve the mystery, he sets out to fit the pieces of the puzzle together in the hope of finding his way home again.
A Star for Christmas
Christmas approaches, and Claudia, barmaid at The Morning Star Inn, is run off her feet. She’ll have a day off soon enough, though, as the pub doesn’t open on Christmas Day, and has sadly resigned herself to spending it alone. That is, until one of the regulars, Mark, offers to host a grand Christmas party on the big day itself.
