A Cowboy's Christmas Promise (2014)
“The sky was a steely gray, and a stiff breeze had turned the harbor into a mass of choppy whitecaps. Brutus was scampering around chasing the last of the leaves, which would be covered up by snow by morning. It was the first weekend of December, she was in a city filled with hundreds of thousands of people, and she’d never felt so alone.
She looked up, inadvertently catching flakes on her nose and chin. Usually she loved the first snow, the way it covered the browning grass with a fresh coat of... whitewash, the way it stilled the sounds of traffic to a dull roar, the way it made her feel like a kid again on Scampini Square, back before she’d realized her mother’s door worked better going out than it did coming in.

She’d woken up feeling this way, but now it was two o’clock in the afternoon and she still hadn’t managed to shake it off. After breakfast she’d walked up Boylston Street, but the makeshift memorials from the marathon bombing jarred her, so she’d headed to the Charles River, hoping for some peace.MoreLess
