Wynn Murphy has been in love with Zane Anders since the day she laid eyes on him. But just when she begins to hope their casual relationship might turn into something more, a misunderstanding pushes her away.
At first sight, charming and handsome, ad executive, Zane Anders has been secretly infatuated with bake shop cutie, Wynn Murphy. This Christmas, he's determined to tell her.
Join Wynn and Zane in this delightful holiday novelette as Zane goes dashing through the snow in an effort to capture Wynn's heart.
This short story was just what I needed to make me smile. Wynn and Zane are both so shy and so perfect for each other. Even though it took five years, I liked how they got to know each other through snippets of conversation over the bakery counter. The ending was just perfect. I definitely recommend this sweet Christmas story! It will really warm your heart.

I really liked this story. I could understand Bethany's frustration with Sam. I think it is hard for any couple who are in two different places in their lives. I liked how she was strong enough to stick to her guns. Sam's ah-ha moment is priceless! This is a well written erotica tale with a very sweet HEA.

But this time, he'll first have to earn her trust.

A Gift of Trust is a short story, but it felt like a full length book to me. The author did a great job of conveying the couple's history to the reader. Their attraction and getting back together was very believable. This one also has some well written erotica scenes. The inclusion of an epilogue is something that I like to see even in a novella. It is nice to see how they HEA turns out.
