Possibly for good.With my life rooted in Pine Haven, lovingly pinned in place by my family and passion for photography, my holiday fling with Clay would need a Christmas miracle in order to turn into a real relationship.Will Clay and I have a picture-perfect ending, or will my heart be shattered beyond repair by the new year? less
