Winter Holiday A Driftwood Bay Novella

Aryn has dealt with abuse and now lives with fear she can’t overcome. Christmas hasn’t been special for Aryn Blane after an abusive relationship left her literally in a ditch. This Christmas, she expects nothing different as she helps Karla prepare their bed and breakfast for the slow season. Aryn’s closest friend Tim doesn’t push, but she can feel he wants more. But facing her feelings means admitting she has some. Her sister Karla is only five months away from what she sees as freedom in the form of a divorce, cementing Aryn’s fear of commitment. The Tidewater Inn is no distraction, and the closer Karla gets to Tim—a man she’s been friends with since her separation—leaves Aryn more confused about how she feels. When Tim reveals he sees her for who she really is, and gives her the choice to be as she pleases, will she choose to stay as friends, or seek healing so she can have the life she wanted before she was left to die?
