FINALIST: ROMANCE WRITERS OF AUSTRALIA'S 2022 RuBY - ROMANTIC BOOK OF THE YEAR - NOVELLA CATEGORY
Two best friends torn apart by war. Could the re-enactment of four Christmas dinners create a love worth fighting for?
Lord Rafe Stanmore didn't just lose his leg in the war; he lost his charming outlook and all his athletic prowess. His best friend, James St. George, brought him through the worst times with his cheerful letters. Rafe can't bear to face James now he's so altered, but to placate his sister he agrees to a quick visit. His secret longing for James and the nightly re-lived trauma of the war should be able to stay hidden for a few days.
During the war, James tried to declare his love for Rafe with careful words and extravagant gifts, and never had any indication of his affection being reciprocated. How could gorgeous, athletic, and aristocratic Rafe be interested in polio scarred James? But when Rafe arrives at the farm unexpectedly, James can't resist giving him all the Christmases he missed. It's his last chance to show Rafe exactly how he feels.
Four Christmases to reveal a passion that can't be denied. One last chance to admit the love they've been hiding all along.
