This is a contemporary romance, Book 3 of Virginia Lovers series.
Unlike her sisters, Louise Stewart had not been successful at anything she had tried in her life; several career paths abandoned and several boyfriends that had abandoned her. Yet Lulu plods through life with courage, joking, laughing, and mostly hiding her hurt. She also hides a big secret. Ever since she was a little girl, Lulu was in love with her older sister Alexandra’s boyfriend, Aeneas. When she was sixteen, her Christmas wish was that Aeneas would see her all grown up, and not the pesky kid sister of his girlfriend, tagging along when all he wanted was a little privacy to steal a kiss from Alexandra. She also wished to find true love.
Aeneas Foster, renowned photojournalist, comes home to Northern Virginia to take a break from facing perils in all the dangerous places on the globe and to write a book about his travels thinking his old girlfriend, the beautiful Alexandra, is recently divorced and in need of comfort. Unfortunately, he finds Alexandra remarried and his eyes turn more toward her sister, the lively Lulu with her laughing eyes and enchanting voice.
Liam Hennessy is a wealthy businessman, a developer involved in politics, an active presence on the Washington DC political and social scene. Accustomed to the glamorous women of his world, he is taken by surprise by the spontaneous, natural Lulu. What starts as a simple act of helping a friend, develops into strong feelings of love and passion.
Will Lulu return Liam’s feelings, or will the ghost of an old love make her come back to Aeneas? Will the magic of Christmas bring true love to her and make an old wish come true?
