Featuring- THE CHRISTMAS ROOM by Tanya Hanson



Today I am featuring the novelette, The Christmas Room, by Tanya Hanson.

About the Book:

Despite a tragic past and unspeakable grief, innkeeper Martita Akala finds peace in Honolulu. Until a handsome American cowboy disrupts her well-ordered life. 
          Rooney Lind sails from California to find his late cousin’s lost love. After spending time in a room decorated for Christmas all year long, he discovers what he’s been looking for his whole life.


Excerpt:

     His hands, still warm from touching hers...Rooney hated himself. Martita’d been gone maybe a minute and he found himself missing her, and hated himself more.  His heart had closed up when Geraldine died and he’d found out her guilty truth. She’d killed him of loving, trusting. He shook away the feelings, shoulder aching. Wished Martita’d left the whiskey bottle behind.
     Well, she was kind, and pretty, and his landlady for a while. No reason not to admire her as a friend.  Martita. An exotic name to be sure, but not a native islander, he didn’t think. Not with those blue eyes. But her hair and skin were dark enough, and her voice and body swayed like the palm trees...
Portuguese maybe. Folks coming here to work the plantations...
