Winter Holiday - Driftwood Bay, #4

Aryn has dealt with abuse and now lives with fear she can't overcome. A relationship that's deep enough to be lasting is a long-shot. Yet, Tim consistently gives her the time and space she needs, namely his garden when he refers to her as his fairy. But dark thoughts of the past hold her back and keep her from the happiness she wants. Karla has heard one too many times that her relationship with Sawyer is hurting her family. When her son's counselor makes a remark that dating before she's divorced-even though she isn't dating-is hurting her son's chances of ever getting out from under the thumb of the school administration, she takes a step back.
Sawyer doesn't understand and is tired of being pulled in, only to be pushed back. He draws a line in the sand, and she must cross it if they are to be together. But is it a line she's willing to cross? The holidays can bring people together and break them apart, but in Driftwood Bay, there is healing coming. It's only a matter of time.
