Maree Houston’s ex-husband is back in Sunshine and she quickly discovers that a stolen kiss could ruin everything.
It’s been five years since Maree divorced Jack. They married too young and when things got tough, they found they couldn’t keep it together. She remained in Sunshine and he moved away with his family. But now he’s back and his presence in the small, beachside hamlet threatens to upend her carefully constructed single life.
When he shows up at the restaurant where she works, she’s temporarily stunned. But soon regains her senses and agrees to hang out together as friends, to put their awkwardness aside and move forward. When they get together, old feelings rise to the surface. She thinks about the fact that the last time she kissed him, she hadn’t realised it would be the last time. And now she wonders if his kiss will look, taste and feel the same as she remembered. Before she can help herself, she’s kissing her ex-husband — a kiss that could ruin all the work they’ve each done to rebuild their lives.
She’s been single for five years, but this Christmas will be the first time she’s felt truly alone. With Jack so close by, and their kiss lingering in her thoughts, the carols and mistletoe only remind her of what she’s lost. And she realises she made a terrible mistake. And now it’s too late to make up for the pain of the past.
Spend Christmas with your friends in Sunshine and enjoy a heartwarming, sweet romantic women’s fiction beach read with all the feels.
