      Escape to Paradise - Sweet Clean Romance - Johanna Jenkins

      Escape to Paradise

      Chapter 1

      Victoria Martin was deep in thought as she arranged a colorful array of assorted flowers into a tall cylinder glass vase. This beautiful bunch of fragrant floral stems had just been hand delivered by the local shop. There was a card attached to them with a hand written note inside saying, Happy Anniversary, my sweetheart. I have booked dinner at Alberto’s Restaurant tonight. Be ready by eight.

      Your ever-loving husband, Tom.

      Victoria smiled, thinking back on her fifteen-year marriage. She and Tom had always been blissfully happy. They were the envy of all their friends, who teased them about having a marriage made in heaven, and who also wondered what their secret was.

      I think it’s because we were madly in love when we met, and we have worked hard at keeping the romance alive. I feel like we’re still dating, Victoria had told their best friends, Dan and Natasha Kingsley at dinner one night. And of course, we’ve been blessed with Katie.

      Katie was Tom and Victoria’s delightful eight-year-old daughter who was conceived after years of trying to start a family. Unfortunately, Victoria was told by her doctor that it was unlikely she would ever conceive again due to a condition called adenomyosis. And she never did manage to fall pregnant after Katie was born.

      Today was their fifteenth wedding anniversary. Yet it felt like only yesterday that Victoria had walked down the aisle of that quaint, country church six kilometers out of their home town of Waycross, Georgia. The old Ruskin Church was built in 1895 in the Victorian style of architecture, complete with ornate and intricate details. The interior of the church had a curved ceiling giving it a sense of openness, and internal columns to help support the huge steeple and belfry.

      Victoria remembered with nostalgia the cream lace dress she had worn that day with a long, netted veil, adorned with flower petals. How time had flown since then, and right now it was time to move on and shower and dress for the anniversary dinner. Katie was being picked up by the Kingsleys for a weekend sleepover at their house. Dan and Natasha Kingsley were lucky to have had four children, the youngest of who was Katie’s best friend, Miranda.

      Tom arrive home at seven thirty leaving himself barely enough time to shower and dress into a freshly ironed blue and white checked shirt and stylish denim trousers. Although it was casual dress and dining at Alberto’s, Victoria had decided to wear a very well-fitting black dress with diamante studded straps over the shoulders, and silver sandals to complete the look. She swept her long, jet black hair up into a smart up-style fastened at the back with a silver studded black comb. Her slim figure was accentuated by the clingy dress, which was knee-length, allowing her to show off her toned calves and slim ankles.

      You look beautiful, Victoria, Tom said, as they made their way to Tom’s sleek sports car parked out the front.

      You don’t look too bad yourself, Tom, Victoria replied as he placed a sweet and gentle kiss on her forehead. Tom had aged well, and at thirty-five looked almost as young as he did when he was twenty
