The Reindeer That Got Away

By Kristy McCaffrey

Don't miss this prequel short story to A MIRTHFUL WISH!

 

"Liam and I are dating."

 

Her voice was so animated and her eyes so bright with excitement that when she met Liam's gaze, he wished the fabrication were real.

 

Young Ellie Thatcher has always been told to stay away from "those Adler boys." The Thatcher-Adler feud goes back to her grandparents, and she's never given it much mind. Until now. She's searching for an elusive Arctic reindeer that may be roaming the Colorado mountains where she lives, and she's convinced it might be found on Adler land.

 

Liam Adler is amused by young Ellie Thatcher. His brothers have secretly defied the edict to stay away from the Thatchers and that's how Liam finds himself helping Ellie search for the legendary white reindeer rumored to be living in the mountains near the town of Reindeer Pass. As he continues to cross paths with the girl through the years, his fondness turns to something more. But there's still the issue of the family feud …

 

When Christmas comes around, everyone has their own special wish. For some, those wishes are as simple as getting the perfect gift for that special someone. For others, those wishes are much bigger. Especially, when they wish for love.

 

Everyone deserves the gift of love, but sometimes that's more complicated than it should be.

 

This year is different.

 

For those pure of heart, their wishes, even their wishes for true love, just might be granted.

 

Wishing for Love is a heartwarming series about Christmas wishes of love coming true for those who have the purest of hearts. If you're looking for a feel-good read this holiday season, pick up A MIRTHFUL WISH (after reading The Reindeer That Got Away) to meet the authors of this heartwarming holiday romance series and find your next happy ever after.
