New Year's Sparks

By Sally Lantern

Ending The Year With A Bang:

A Spark of New Beginnings

For Shelly, the end of the year has always meant locking herself away, drowning in the quiet misery of broken promises and past heartbreaks. A divorced single mother, she built a wall around herself and her son, Marcus, believing her season of love and good luck was long over. But this year, everything changes when she accepts an invitation to a New Year's Eve party-a decision spurred by her unlikely new friend, Samantha, a societal powerhouse who speaks uncomfortable truths.

Shelly thought she had found her forever in Luc, a man who swore their five-year age gap and her status as a single mother didn't matter. Yet, his strange, secretive behavior and outright denial of their engagement ignite a familiar, searing pain. Driven by gut instinct and betrayal, Shelly embarks on a quest for the truth that shatters the fragile world Luc built around her, revealing layers of deceit far deeper than she could have imagined.

Ending The Year With A Bang is a raw, emotionally charged journey of a woman navigating the devastating aftermath of betrayal, the strength required to pick up the pieces, and the unexpected blaze of passion that ignites when she least expects it. At Samantha's chaotic, yet welcoming, year-end BBQ, Shelly finds more than just closure-she finds a connection with Derick, a handsome, charming, and kind man whose gentle touch sends an electric current through her guarded heart.

Will a spontaneous New Year's kiss and a night of explosive passion with Derick Bowman be the fiery end to her old life, or the beginning of a truly magnificent future?

Dive into this adult-only short story of transformation, healing, and finding the courage to start the year-and your life-with a bang.
