The Christmas Kiss

❄️Bradley❄️
An innocent game of Spin-the-Bottle got real when I was supposed to kiss my best friend's little sister. I'd loved her since I could remember, but I couldn't do it with Lowell glaring at me, even as Kenzie Grant waited expectantly. Six months later, she tried to claim the kiss, only, fear of her brother's reaction had me stop her . . . again.High school came and went. I dated. An accidental pregnancy and I thought marriage was the right thing to do. As expected it didn't work out.Now it's three weeks till Christmas and I'm raising my son alone.Lowell comes to the rescue and invites us to celebrate with his family - telling me Kenzie never comes anymore.Only, she walks in, all grown up, and beautiful as ever. I've been dreaming of her for far too long to let this Christmas pass without claiming a kiss.

Bradley Gunner broke my heart . . . twice. Still, I'd never gotten over him. News of his pregnancy and marriage hurt too much to stick around, so I left. Boston was perfect, except it didn't have him.I went home to prove to him I'm better off, that I've forgotten my stupid attempts to kiss him when we were teens. Only, I walk in and there he is, handsome as ever and for some reason, alone.I want to forget about him. I want to ignore the way we fit together perfect as ever. I want to enjoy Christmas without the temptation of the only man I've ever loved. I don't think I'm going to get what I want.
