A Peppermint Wish

Fate has a way of making promises a reality. Amaryllis I promised Gabriel everything. Then he abandoned me on the night we were going to escape our abusive homes together. The love of my life left me to travel to LA alone, with only a duffel bag and my voice. And I made it. All by myself. I'm the country music star I was destined to be. I just wish I knew why he wasn't there. I never planned to come back. But this Christmas, when I find out my abusive father is gone, I grab the chance to rewrite my song and finally heal. Breckenridge is the same sleepy town I left behind all those years ago. I step over the threshold of my childhood home, and it's silent. No yelling. No cussing. I can breathe. Until I look up and see Gabriel. Gabriel It all started with a promise. Amaryllis was an unborn star, and I swore I'd get her to LA. No matter what. Except when the time came, I had to make a choice. I let her believe I didn't want to be with her. And it destroyed me. In one night, I lost everything. No one knows the full story. Now she's back, and it's all coming out. I don't want her pity. I don't need her handouts. I want one thing from the only girl I've ever loved. Her heart. But I don't see how our broken melodies can be mended. Rumor has it that little Breckenridge, Idaho hides a secret. Decades ago, a wish at the town well would grant the pure in heart their deepest desires. Some folks believe the magic still lives despite the spring no longer existing. But don't believe everything you hear. See for yourself in A Peppermint Wish. When Christmas comes around, everyone has their own special wish. For some, those wishes are as simple as getting the perfect gift for that special someone. For others, those wishes are much bigger. Especially, when they wish for love. Everyone deserves the gift of love, but sometimes that's more complicated than it should be. This year is different. For those pure of heart, their wishes, even their wishes for true love, just might be granted.
