A Christmas Story
Sometimes for the right people Christmas wishes really do come true. Sort of a sequel to 'Heart Condition' featuring many of the same characters. This is a stand alone story but it will be easier to understand the background if you read 'Heart Condition' first (and maybe 'Concordia') / (Reviews)

A Beach House Story

This story tells the first week of relationships that have grown stronger over the years. / (Reviews)
