Gray, a soldier, is finally returning home too. Seeing Lydia after fifteen years reignites all the temptations from years ago...and also the pain and regret.But as Lydia and Gray make their way home together, they get a chance to mend the past, and rediscover the joy, trust --and passion -- of before; to realize that love isn't just sweeter the second time around, it's downright decadent.This novella was previously published in Gettin' Merry, A Holiday Anthology 610 $aFiction 700 $aJenkins$b Beverly$01432464 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158827203321 996 $aHomecoming$93594384 997 $aUNINA
