      A Christmas Charade - Jodi Olson

      Dedication

      To Joyce Clayton-Thank you for being an awesome friend, we have been through a lot together. You’re the best.

      Thank you Mark for my pretty cover.

      To my awesome readers- I love you all. I wouldn’t be anywhere without you. You mean the world to me.

      A Christmas Charade has been previously published, and re -edited with a new cover.

      Chapter One

      Jillian Marshall left Big Bear City, California ten years ago and never looked back. She moved to San Francisco to become the artist she’d always wanted to be. Her parents had always told her she’d never make money at it, so Jillian worked odd jobs when she wasn’t studying. Right after college, she sold her first painting.

      Two years ago, one of Jillian’s old classmates, Reagan Walters, began sending her letters. She hated that blonde pencil-thin snob with a passion, and couldn’t figure out why Reagan was still writing to her. At one time, they’d been really good friends, but then Reagan stole Jillian’s boyfriend, Patrick Collins, from her.

      In the first letter, Reagan said she’d married Patrick right after high school and had five boys. She also mentioned Patrick owned an auto mechanics business.

      By the fifth letter, Jillian desperately wanted Reagan to leave her alone, but instead she wrote back that she was married to the top heart surgeon in San Francisco. What a lie! I don’t even have a boyfriend.

      Then, a month ago, she received her invitation to Big Bear High School’s ten-year reunion. She really didn’t want to go, especially after the way she’d been treated in high school. When she told her best friend Nick about it, he told her she should go; told her to make a vacation out of it. ‘Maybe go skiing, meet a ski instructor and have some wild sex,’ he’d said. So Jillian decided to go. I don’t have anything else to do over the holiday.

      What she needed now was to find a husband to cover up the lie she told Reagan. Could she ask Nick to help her out or would it end their friendship? Tonight I’ll discuss it with him when he comes over for movie night. Saturday was designated as their weekly movie night and they’d watch anything from old black and white’s to horror films. He always
