Synopsis:

From the author of The Billionaire’s Secrets, Midnight in Venice and Falling for Rain, a heartfelt, witty and heartwarming short story for the holiday season, set in one of Europe's most enchanting cities…

Inspired by the beauty depicted in the movie In Bruges, Paula decides to spend Christmas by herself in the gorgeous Belgian canal city. One evening at a cozy bistro, she is very pleasantly surprised to meet her old college boyfriend and very first love, James. As they walk through the snowy streets, they laugh at their younger selves and ponder the unexpected course their lives have taken over the past nine years. Paula, a promising actress, became a teacher, while James abandoned medical school to serve as a medic in Afghanistan. But as Christmas Day approaches, James's painful war memories threaten their rekindled love.
