        "I just clicked on this story randomly on my home page and I could not stop reading. To put this in context, it's almost 4a.m. here and I have to be up in two hours to get my kid off to school.
        What else is required of great writers? I think you have it all. Thank you for sharing this great love story with us all." --Wattpad Reader
        
        A proposal of marriage, a pending divorce, and a Christmas Eve tragedy will change the lives of strangers Jay Avery and Claire Jordan in ways they never imagined. 
        
        Alone on Christmas Eve, San Francisco biochemist-turned-cosmetics magnate Jay Avery prepares to iron out the details of what he hopes will be a quiet divorce from his surgeon wife, Hope Rosenberg. On the other side of the Bay City, acclaimed photographer Claire Jordan eyes the final gift under the tree--a tiny box she suspects holds an engagement ring from her media mogul boyfriend, feisty Brit Calvin Butterworth. As the night wears on, strangers Jay and Claire have no idea that their lives are about to intersect in the most unexpected way. 
        
        AUTHOR'S NOTE: This work is a 3rd person narrative that shifts perspective between main character. Please be aware that this is not a polished piece of fiction. I have no Beta, so fair warning.
