The Christmas He Loved Her

fullDescription

Coming home for Christmas is the easy part...

I haven't been home for Christmas since I lost my brother, and there are reasons I shouldn't be here now. One of them is named Raine Edwards—she's been my best friend since we were kids, but now she's also my brother's widow. What kind of holiday homecoming is waiting for me if Raine finds out that my silence these past years has really meant that I'm accidentally in love with her? That she's a sweet temptation wrapped up in my Christmas memories with Jesse and the life they shared?

But maybe it's finally time to lay it all on the line. A Christmas kiss under the mistletoe could be the perfect way to show her what she means to me. Memories of my brother and what I lost have kept me away for years, but maybe it's time to admit that loving Raine is the thing that'll keep me here.

      The second installment of Stone’s Bad Boys series (after The Summer He Came Home) is a heartwarming and intense tale of two lost souls. Raine feels like a mere shell of herself, still mourning her husband, Jesse, a year after his death on the battlefield. She only feels alive when she’s with Jake, Jesse’s twin brother, with whom she has always had a tumultuous relationship. Tough and handsome, with dark terrors from his own wartime experience, Jake has been quietly in love with Raine for years. Now Raine and Jake are pulled to one another, but they must battle their internal demons and intertwined secrets before love can overcome their shared grief. Readers will enjoy the passionate interludes, feisty protagonists, and smalltown charm.

      It's taken more than a year for former army ranger Jake Edwards to return to Crystal Lake after the death in Afghanistan of his twin brother, Jesse. Jake knows it's time to come home and move on--if he can. But grief and guilt haunt him. That he has secretly loved Jesse's widow, Raine, since they were kids--she's majorly annoyed with him for staying away--just makes it worse. As the sparks fly and the tension mounts, it's only a matter of time before they will be forced to deal with their grief and come to terms with their conflicted feelings. VERDICT Two lost souls who've been friends forever struggle to overcome the past and get on with their lives in this heart-wrenching, uplifting story that overflows with family, friends, and holiday spirit and is infused with the healing power of love. Stone (The Summer He Came Home) lives in Canada.
