Gifts for an Immortal Heart

Novella

When Kaspian pilot Vik Knezvik agrees to do a friend a favor by flying to Vancouver to pick up a cherry-red guitar, he has no idea that he will meet the woman of his dreams working in a music store. But that is exactly what happens: two days before Christmas, Vik strides through the door and loses his heart to a too-thin female with a sprinkling of golden freckles and wary blue-green eyes.

The lessons she learned from this?

That few things in life are stable. Few things last forever.

Too bad Vik doesn’t believe an amati is in the cards for him.

But when Zoe loses her job, Vik has no choice but to take her into his arms. Perhaps this holiday, two immortals will discover the gift of forever…
