Widow Paula
Winters wasn’t interested in meeting men when her daughters sent her on a
romantic cruise. She’s romance author, Paula R. Prentice, and decided to use
her two week vacation to finish her novel and do some Christmas shopping.
She hasn’t recovered from the loss of her beloved husband and shies from
meeting men.
Derek
Rawlins, widowed for the past two years is only on the cruise at his son’s
insistence. The loss of his wife has hit him hard. He accepts the cruise,
only because he figures he can get some work done, not because he has plans
on meeting any women.
When Paula
asks to sit next to him on deck, only to share the shaded area to work
on her novel, he agrees and soon finds himself intrigued by her. When her
cell phone rings, her eyes meet his as she lies to her daughter, telling her
that she met someone and that she hadn’t been working. Derek speaks to the
girl and assures her that he will take good care of her mother. Though the
relationship was fabricated, they soon find that they have a lot in common
and become inseparable.
Little do
they know that Paula’s daughter and Derek’s son are about to get married to
each other and
will spring more than just a little surprise on them when their parents get back
from their vacations.
Is Derek
the romantic hero from her next novel, or a true life hero that she wants to
keep in her life permanently? This Christmas will bring them more than one
small package to fill them with joy!
