With the season of giving on the horizon, now seems like a better time than ever for special requests. But just because one asks for something doesn’t mean they won’t also have to work for it. This is one of three novelettes in collaboration with authors Christina C. Jones and Nicole Falls, previously released as a website exclusive.

When the season of giving morphs into a personal season of losing, an unexpected reconnection turns out to be the gift that keeps on giving.

It’s the season of giving, so doing a solid for a friend of a friend isn’t that big of a deal. That is…until it is.
