Christmas on Wherever Island by Amber Polo

Marti Bell is a producer of educational videos for HMI, or Holiday Media International. At the age of 37, she has already been divorced and now is seeing a married man from work. Marti has no friends and her family is just horrible to her. Her self esteem needs a BIG boost.

Cliff Holmes is a freelance photographer that sometimes works with HMI. On the outside, it looks like he lives the jet set life, but in reality, he is just a guy. His memories of past jobs are weighing him down, and Cliff looks to Wherever Island as a chance to unwind.

It is almost Christmas and Marti is waiting for her flight home for the holidays. At the airport, she bumps into Cliff on her way to the gate. She misses her connection flight to Minneapolis and calls home to find out that her family blames her for ruining Christmas. Not wanting to deal with that situation, she decides to exchange her ticket to wherever. The Santa hat-wearing ticket agent takes her at her word, books her on a flight to Wherever Island. What a coincidence, Cliff is on the flight, too. So the question is, was that one of Santa’s helpers at the ticket counter or is it the island magic trying to make a match?

This is a wonderful story by Amber Polo. Marti is so focused on her boyfriend that she forgets about herself and her needs. For once, she will give to herself. Cliff comes off as cocky in the beginning of the story, but as it goes on, you see him in a different light. He becomes more approachable, and that façade he shows everyone drops away. I want a ticket, too!
