I survived the Big C. And now, every day is a candy cane kiss. I'm making up for lost time-living large and rocking around the Christmas tree at my best friend's wedding. Destination-Røros, aka Christmas Town, sparkling lights, and real-life reindeer. And then, what to my wandering eyes should appear-Rurik Andersen, this giant from a mystical place, wraps me in his balsam scent, stuffing my stocking with naughty and nice.


The skies dance, ribbons of light touching the heavens-the ghosts of Christmas past hide within the twinkling stars. The centuries leave me. How many winters must I survive without her? So long I have awaited her return to the mortal realm. The Norns of Fate answer my wish, returning my heart, my soul. She doesn't know who we are to each other-only our union will make it so. Cristabel Johnston makes my eternal life worth living.
