Being dumped just before the holidays
was my worst nightmare. I’d spent so many years thinking Preston Wright was the
one for me that when he told me it was over, I thought I’d rather die than face
the future.
I never expected someone like Judd
Kohler to come crashing into my life. Literally. He was coming out. I was going
in. My face got in the way. You get the picture. It was an accident. Running
into him twice in one day, though? It started to feel like fate.
My mother always says Christmas is a
magical time of year. A season for hope. All I know is that just when I thought
I’d lost mine, hope somehow found its way back to me.
Just in time for Christmas.
EXCERPT
"I lean into his hand, my flesh
burning under his touch. His fingers twitch slightly, as if he wants to pull me
closer.
I want to kiss him, but I’m scared. I don’t want to be rejected again. I don’t want to misunderstand. And I don’t want to fall too fast just because I’m so hungry for something to heal my broken heart.
But I’m helpless to stop it.
When he leans down, he stops short, waiting for me to make a decision. I lift my head ever so slightly and he closes the space between us, his fingers tangling in the hair at the nape of my neck. He takes my mouth more forcefully than he did last night, and my body lights up at the first meeting of our lips.
Our lips open and explore. Our tongues dance, tasting for the first time.
My hands slip around his waist. I’m so aware of the fabric at the edge of his shirt, wanting nothing more than to slide my hand under and up. To feel the warm skin underneath and the hard muscles I know I’ll find along his back.
I want it so badly, I almost can’t control the desire.
He releases my lips and moves his kisses along the line of my chin. When he gets closer to my ear, he whispers, “You’re so beautiful.”
I immediately want to tell him he’s wrong. That he must not see me for some reason. But I hold it in, letting myself hear him. Not quite believing, but for the first time in a long time, wanting to believe."

About
the Author
Sarra Cannon writes contemporary and
paranormal fiction with both teen and college age characters. Her novels often
stem from her own experiences growing up in the small town of Hawkinsville,

relationships are rarely as simple as they seem.
Her best selling Young Adult paranormal series, Peachville High Demons, has sold over 140,000 copies and been featured on Amazon's Top 100 eBooks for Children & Teens. The first book in the series, Beautiful Demons, will be adapted into a graphic novel by Sea Lion Books later this year, and a spin-off series will begin in 2014.
She is a devoted (obsessed) fan of Hello Kitty and has an extensive collection that decorates her desk as she writes. She currently lives in North Carolina with her amazingly supportive husband and her adorable son.
