Sue Edmonds swore off men after her feckless husband left her struggling to care for their four-year-old daughter Trudi and maintain their ramshackle Victorian home. But her mysterious neighbor might tempt her to change her mind.  

Bryn Thomas once found peace and happiness in music but that was before his heart was broken. Now it stirs up painful memories and provides little comfort. That is until he finds himself sharing Christmas carols with his young neighbor and her beautiful mother.  

As Sue sees Bryn playing Santa, she is touched to discover his gentler side. Can she hope for a Christmas miracle and the fulfillment of Trudi's Christmas wish for a dad?

Between The Pages - Perfect Partners

Perfect Partners
By Stephanie Cage
July 2013

"What's he doing back in London after all this time?" 
Eight years ago, Lisa Darby's dancing partner and first love, Redmond Carrington, left London for a fun summer on the cruise ships - and never came back. Lisa's grown up a bit since then, and she'd like to think she's prepared for anything, but when Red comes back from America with a proposal for her, she's not sure she's ready for what he's suggesting. A T.V. studio is filming a knockout competition of six of the world's best couples - each of them partners both on and off the dance floor. Redmond wants Lisa to pose as his girlfriend so that they can compete. It's an unbelievable opportunity for an aspiring professional dancer, and the spectacular prize money would help save Lisa's beloved dance studio, which is in need of major renovation. Scooping the prize is going to take the performance of a lifetime from Lisa and Redmond, but with the sizzling tension between them, they might just pull it off. It turns out that putting on an act for the cameras is the least of Lisa's worries. As time goes on and she rediscovers her feelings for Redmond, she's left questioning what's really behind his offer, and where their partnership is heading this time.
