Hello Tule Friends!
I’m so excited to be here today on the blog with you. My newest Tule Christmas story, Alabama Christmas Wedding, is out now! If you’re familiar with my Tule titles, you might remember that my Alabama books were my very first Tule series. These are some seriously Southern stories with the most gorgeous covers! I’ve since written Louisiana and Georgia series.
Alabama Christmas Wedding is a deliciously romantic later in life love story. I originally published this novella a couple of years ago as Christmas Beach Wedding. The basic premise is the same, but I’ve made significant changes to the setting and connected it my favorite fictional town, Ministry, Alabama, and included some of my favorite characters from the Alabama series!
This story makes me think, “What if…” What if we had made different choices somewhere back in our younger lives? What if we’d chosen differently somewhere along the way and our lives had been completely altered? And, what if, at some point in the future we are faced with that choice again? Would we dare? Would we dare take a chance twenty-five years later with the one that got away after a lifetime of love and a family with the spouse we adored?
The back of the book says:
It’s been twenty-five long years since Jane Lafitte’s college sweetheart, Trevor Gardner, broke her heart, but life moved on. She never imagined she’d see Trevor again—until their adult children announce their own Christmas engagement—to each other!
Thrown together amidst cozy holiday celebrations, the old flames can’t deny the warm embers that still smolder between them despite the painful memories and practical concerns conspiring against them. Jane and Trevor agree to keep their romantic history a secret, but it gets complicated as they are immersed with planning a wedding between her daughter, Casey, and his son, Drew in the same town where the two of them planned to marry so long ago.
As Jane and Trevor reconnect, their tangled past resurfaces, making forgiveness the only way forward if they hope to navigate their future as soon-to-be in-laws. But what does it really mean to be family? Can they move beyond their past hurt to discover a new beginning together in time for Christmas?
I hope you will give Alabama Christmas Wedding a read! I look forward to hearing what you think of this very sweet second chance romance.
All the best,
Susan Sands
