EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
from
The Christmas Wish
by Jill Jaynes
by Jill Jaynes
Matt
rubbed the finishing wax into the last section of the hood of his Mustang
convertible. The cherry-red paint glowed back at him, catching the mid-morning
rays of another perfect California December day, the kind that made everyone on
the East Coast want to move here.
From
his driveway, he eyed the little house across the street and wondered again about
Allie and her date the night before. He’d watched with a frown as she’d hustled
past him to let herself into the high-end sports car. He wasn’t too impressed
with the guy she was going out with if he couldn’t manage to get out and open
the car door for his date.
He
knew from experience that guys were on their best behavior when they first met
a woman. Once they thought they had her, it was all downhill from there. If
last night was an example of this guy’s best behavior, Allie’s future with him
didn’t look all that promising.
He
bent again to waxing his car, focusing on coaxing out a perfect, high-gloss
sheen.
It
wasn’t that he was jealous or anything, he was just watching out for his best
friend’s kid sister, that’s all. Like he’d promised when he left Afghanistan.
Holy
crap, it had never occurred to him that the scrawny, shy high-school girl he
remembered would have grown into an accomplished, not to mention smoking-hot,
woman in the eight or so years since he’d last seen her. The picture of her
dressed in that form-fitting black sweater-thing and thigh-high boots the night
before played like a movie in his head, seriously messing with his memories,
not to mention his best intentions.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Jill Jaynes
began her love affair with romance when she was a teenager growing up in
Southern California, spending many a late-night under the covers with a
flashlight and good romance novel. This
early addiction stuck, and she discovered one day that telling great stories was
even more fun than reading them.
When she’s not
writing, you can find her a) wine-tasting, hiking or otherwise hanging out with
her awesome husband, b) walking her two high-maintenance dogs, c) plotting her
next story with her writer-daughter or d) working at her day job in her spare
time.
Barb DeLong has
always had a passion for reading and writing. She has won and been a finalist
in several writing contests. Animals are another passion, and creatures both
wild and domestic are featured in most of her stories of love, laughter and
magic. Barb contributed contemporary romance stories in Romancing the Pages and
Secrets of Moonlight Cove anthologies. A transplant from Canada, she enjoys the
sunny climes of Southern California with her one-and-forever hubby and a
fluffy, blue-eyed ragdoll cat, two children and five grandchildren.
Kathleen
Harrington, multi-published, award-winning author, has touched the hearts of
readers across the country and the world with her sparkling tales of high
adventure and unending love. Her historical romances have been published in
Chinese, Russian, Italian, and German. She lives in Southern California with
her American Bulldog, Auron.
When Ottilia
Scherschel, a Hungarian immigrant, started sixth grade, she learned her fifth
language. After retiring from teaching languages at the college level, she
spends her time writing romantic suspense stories set in foreign climes. She
has been a finalist in a number of writing contests and published a short story
in the Romancing the Pages anthology. Ottilia loves to pack a suitcase to visit
family, friends and food or wine purveyors anywhere in the world. When she is
not writing, she can be found at the movies, at the gym, or cooking for her
husband, kids and grandkids.
Angela Shelley
was born in Vancouver, Canada in 1973 and grew up in rural Southern British
Columbia. Her love for children's fantasy stems from reading CS Lewis, Tolkien,
George MacDonald, JK Rowling, Terry Brooks, Neil Gaiman, and many, many more
wonderful authors. She lives in Los Angeles, California, with her husband and
their twins.
