  Story 3

  Krista Hartley never expected the unrequited love of her life, the irresistible yet unattainable Derek Weston, to work as the groundskeeper at the apartment building she just moved into. They barely spoke in high school but now, three years after graduation, they couldn’t stop tearing each other’s clothes off. After all, how could a hot-blooded woman say no to a sexy man with an eyebrow ring and a deadly swagger?

  A Christmas miracle drew Krista back into Derek’s life. In pursuit of her body and heart, he kissed her for the first time under mistletoe, pampered her with romantic dinners and memorized every inch of her delectable body with his tongue. A romantic at heart, he refused to let his dream girl slip through his fingers again.

  Another woman then threatened his whirlwind romance with Krista. Hurt once before, Krista claimed she needed space and broke off their relationship. Derek then fell into a drunken stupor and made a mistake that could destroy their love forever. With just days to Christmas, he vowed to win back her heart and trust, and prove his innocence once and for all.

  Story 4

  Annie Swan wants it all, a career and a boyfriend, but she doesn’t believe it’s possible to have both. Annie’s driven to become a nurse and she’s not letting one night of mind-blowing sex on a Ferris wheel change all that.

  When Jack Ross sees something he wants he doesn’t stop until it’s his. Jack admires Annie’s dedication but he knows with a little bit of understanding, forgiveness, and love you can have it all.

  Byzantine Chain Maille Earrings

  Of the many chain maille weaves, the Byzantine is perhaps one of my favorites for jewelry. It looks complex but is actually one of the easiest to learn and there are many different variations.

  You can mix silver-copper and gold or use colored metal for more visual.

  Some like to use small rings but I recommend to use 18 gauge rings if you a beginner.

  1. Close two rings and attach a wire tie through both of them. To get a better grip the wire tie will help. Link two more pairs of rings.

  2. Hold the first pair between your fingers and peel back the third pair.

  3. Those two peeled back rings will be higher.

  4. These two rings now raised up with a space below them. The topmost rings are now spread sideways.

  5. Now open a ring and hook through that space.

  6. Repeat with the second ring.

  7. Attach two more double rings which brings you back to step 1.

  8. Do the peeling back, lifting and hooking steps and you will have a Byzantine chain.

  There are many tutorials on YouTube and Pinterest to help you on your way.
