Christmas Baby

<p>He'd heard the rumors she was back in town. He had to see for himself.<br><br>As Ted Kramer steeled himself to knock on the hotel room door the last thing he was prepared to see was the woman who shattered him holding a baby. Cheryl Winston-Bristol had been the love of his life. And when she abruptly left town last year after their secret summer romance it destroyed him. He couldn't eat. Couldn't sleep. Couldn't work. Yet here she is baby and all. His baby. Merry Christmas to him.<br><br>When Cheryl realized she was pregnant she knew her controlling and manipulative grandfather would never accept a Kramer child into his family. The feud between the Kramers and Winston-Bristols had dragged on for forty years and as long as that cantankerous man was alive it would continue raging. Except now he's dead and Cheryl has taken the opportunity to return to Stonewater for the services. She knows she needs to tell her mother-- and Ted-- about the baby but she never wanted him to find out about his daughter like this though.<br><br>Maybe just maybe baby Harper will be the Christmas gift these families need to move on and find love again.</p>
