Watching the Ball Drop

New Year’s Eve—a time to regret the past and hope for the future. In these six holiday stories, new loves begin, old loves rekindle and passion abounds, but a New Year’s romance isn’t always enough to last the rest of the year, let alone a lifetime. Or could it be?

Love Is In The Air by Destiny Blaine - A night out ringing in the New Year with her gal pal Lianna sounds like the perfect antidote for Maria’s broken heart.
