Eggnog and Candy Canes: A Blueberry Springs Christmas Novella Read online

  Love and Danger ~ Hippie chick Daphne Summer is sure she can stop the development across the water from the Summer’s family cottage, and with the backing of some large environmentalists, she’s finally got some power behind her, but not everyone is happy with her voicing her opinion. To keep her and her five-year-old daughter safe, she’s forced to hire an ex-marine, Evander de la Fosse—who represents everything she hates, to serve as her bodyguard as she works to save the environment she so dearly loves in the explosive finale to this series of sisters, and the power of love. (Coming in 2015.)

  Dedication

  To Alayna Dickerson for the eggnog. (I’m sorry.)

  To my Fan Girls (Jeansters) for saying, “Heck ya! Nash has to come back—and get together with Katie! Do it!”

  This book would not have written itself without the encouragement and writing sprints with fellow author Mallory Crowe. Thanks girl!

  I’d also like to give thanks to my critiquers, helping hands, editors, and proofreaders: Evelyn Adams, Tiesha Brunson, Jemi Fraser, Anne Welch, Jenn Gallagher, Margaret Carney, Erin Dixon, and Emily Kirkpatrick. Thank you.

  To my readers—may you get what you want this holiday season.

  About the Author

  Jean Oram grew up in an old schoolhouse on the Canadian prairie. She didn't realize she wanted to write until one day she sat down, giggling, and declared, "I'm going to write a novel!" And she did. But this isn't it. That one was kind of a disaster because she didn't even know how long a novel should be, but she learned a lot and had fun. You can learn more about Jean and her hobbies—besides writing and chasing her two kids and various pets around the house and the great outdoors—on her website: www.jeanoram.com.
