Just in Time: A Holiday Romance

Love has no limits…it comes just in time.

Raven
I was born an anomaly…a charity case with no one and to no one.
Year after year, I became used to the emptiness…used to the unspoken pain.
When Marco walked into my life, all those thoughts scrambled.
Who I thought I was…what I thought I was, and the struggle of breaking out of those chains took everything from inside me.
He’s doing all he can to rebuild a world I’d learned to live in broken.
I thought I was ready to be whole, but when I’m faced with the circumstances surrounding my birth family, I freeze.
I’m just not sure I’m made for this type of love.

Marco
She thought I changed her, but she changed my whole life…brightened my dark days.
I was getting by day by day, until I met Raven.
That’s when I realized something else was missing…hell, a lot was missing.
And, she changed it all as soon as she held me captive in her gaze.
I knew from the moment I laid eyes on her what many take years to know.
She will be my future wife…my only feat is getting her to feel the same.
Will Raven and Marco realize how much they need each other before the New Year’s ball drops?
