Liam — Sandy Appleyard

High school sweethearts. A shotgun-style Christmas wedding. And a bomb dropped just days before the nuptials that could end it all forever.My brother hands me a beer. I’d love to wipe the smug look off his face. We both know what he’s going to say. I’ve just sealed the deal with Hanna, the girl I’ve loved since high school. Problem is, she doesn’t know something about me. Something that I’m not one hundred percent sure of myself, and if ever there was a time to find out, now would be it. I sip my beer, thinking about my next steps, but instead of doing what I should, I do what I absolutely shouldn’t.***I come home from work, expecting to see the love of my life, Liam, there. Instead, the house is void of his things, and most important, he’s not here. He’s blocked my number, tied himself up in meetings, and the only person who will be straight with me about what’s going on doesn’t know a thing. I’m part dumbfounded, part heartbroken, and part pissed off that he left me, days before our wedding. But what I find out is even more heartbreaking, more confusing, and most of all, more pivotal than anything else I’ve ever learned about Liam before.Can we get past this? Can my long lived dream of having a Christmas wedding really come true? Or is that whole ‘Christmas miracle’ thing bogus?Holiday romanceChristmas romanceSecond chance romanceHappily ever after romanceSteamy romanceMedium heatMild foul languageCliffhanger ending
