Whispers of Forever: Mending Christmas — Mary J. McCoy-Dressel

A Double Dutch Ranch Series Spin Off Novel.

Second Chance Romance.

Rancher Jake Lawton never expects to become a single dad to his nine-year-old overnight. However, one last malicious act his wife had done before leaving them, could affect both he and his son's lives. By chance, he runs into his high school sweetheart, never expecting the same old yearnings to return with one “How are ya?” embrace. Has their unanticipated meeting arrived at the perfect time, or has years apart put an end to what should've been years ago?

Beth Marconi arrives home to help care for her ailing father. In town, she inadvertently runs into her first love -- the cowboy she nearly married after graduation. Sparks ignite before they say hello, but how do they start over when life has left them so bruised? When her ex comes to town, she's forced to explain the secret surrounding her short-lived marriage. Is Jake the kind of man who will understand, or will he revert to the hell-raiser he had become when Beth left thirteen years ago?

Filled with both anguish and hope at Christmastime, a young boy and two lonely hearts pursue a second chance.
