• Second chance romance


• Squire's son / vicar's daughter


• Reunited after ten years apart!

Fiona Rannelly and Desmond Hannington were inseparable growing up, sharing childhood adventures and dreams -- and eventually kisses. But their paths diverged as Fiona's modest upbringing in the local vicarage clashed with Desmond's privileged status as the squire's son.

Ten years have passed since they last saw each other. Fiona, the widow of a Crimean soldier, has quietly accepted her role in life, content with her humble world and happy to direct the annual Christmas pageant. Desmond, now a respected and wealthy gentleman, has followed the path laid out for him, though the memory of his first love remains a treasured, if bittersweet, reminder of a simpler time.

After the death of his cruel and miserly father, Desmond returns home to find the village of Westwycke bustling with the festivities of Christmas. Against a backdrop of candlelight, carols, and the glow of a crackling fire, two childhood sweethearts rediscover the connections that once bound them together. Will they realize their bond was never truly lost -- just waiting for the perfect moment to rekindle?


SIR DESMOND COMES HOME FOR CHRISTMAS is a Victorian Christmas novella of approximately 32,000 words. "Happily ever after" guaranteed!
