Homecoming
<b><i>A historical holiday story of homecoming and second-chance romance by NAACP Image Award Nominee, Beverly Jenkins.</i></b> <br /> <br />In 1883, Lydia Cooper is happily traveling back home to celebrate the simple joys of the holidays when an unexpected complication appears in the all-too-distracting form of Gray Dane, the man she loved as a girl; the man she left behind. Gray, a soldier, is finally returning home too. Seeing Lydia after fifteen years reignites all the temptations from years ago…and also the pain and regret. <br /> <br />But as Lydia and Gray make their way home together, they get a chance to mend the past, and rediscover the joy, trust —and passion — of before; to realize that love isn’t just sweeter the second time around, it’s downright decadent. <br /> <br /><b>This novella was previously published in Gettin’ Merry, A Holiday Anthology </b> <br /> <br /><b>“Jenkins’s dialogue crackles ...†–<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> <br /> <br /><b>“Her stories are delicious and always leave behind both feelings of satisfaction and want...for her next novel.†–<i>Fresh Fiction</i></b> <br /> <br /><b>“Jenkins is a gifted storyteller who knows how to bring special spark and sass to romance.†–<i>Romantic Times BOOKclub</i></b> <br />
