Lori's Memories - A Drake Wines Novella: Drake Wines, #2.5

By Chelle Pimblott

A new family. Two dads. Surprises. Forgiveness.

 

When I was eight years old, mum and aunt Jen took me to meet my dad. Logan Drake was just a name, a few pictures and some stories that my mum told me at bedtime.

I knew my mum was sick, she never hid it from me and I knew, even though she did try to cushion the reality, that she wasn't going to be with me for much longer. That's why she went to talk to my dad.

Moving out to Drake Wines wasn't as hard as I was expecting. I had an instant family, Aunts, uncles, cousins and not one but two dads who loved me unconditionally. Missing my mum didn't hurt as much with them around.

The letters started on my tenth birthday. By my eighteenth I didn't want them anymore. On my wedding I learned to appreciate every single one of them.

'Love Mum', became something that I looked forward to.

 

LORI'S MEMORIES is the second novella in the Drake Wines Novella Series and should be read after WINERY. It's a love story of a different kind, no steam or romance but still full of love and hope. This is the story of a mother's love for her daughter and the letters she leaves for her to read on special occasions. HEA guaranteed.

Chelle Pimblott

Chelle Pimblott lives in Regional Melbourne, Australia with her husband, two teenage sons, and their Irish Wolfhound, Sarge. She started reading romance novels back in the 80’s, when she found her grandmother’s Mills & Boon stash, and she hasn’t looked back since! Although, she didn't actually start writing romance novels until her mid 40’s, well after her beloved grandmother’s death, she’s pretty damned sure her grandmother would be proud as punch of her pursuits today. Chelle’s stories are very steamy, but even so, she knows her grandmother would love them! Chelle started writing after sharing a quickie that she’d written with her friends one day, and they encouraged her to continue the story. That same group of friends still stand behind her today, and that first quickie became ‘Sneaky’, her first published novel.
