Tying the Knot with her Sweet Scrooge

A Healing Hearts Sweet Short Story

By: Ginny Sterling

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A promise of love, a miracle, and a treat that will tie your heart into knots!

Let's begin with introducing you to the grumpiest Scrooge around – Army Veteran and former medic, Houghton. The gruff man served many tours in Afghanistan, but one thing can bring him to his knees faster than a foreign enemy.

His wife, Jill.

Except there is a problem.

Now, the couple is facing a twist in their hard-earned Happily Ever After that neither expected, threatening the secret he's kept for months now.

When the cookie crumbles, how do you pick up the pieces, realizing that things are still incredibly sweet?

Great Backstory!

I had listened to a number of the books describing the soldiers and penpals. Houghton was always ready and willing to help all those who really needed him. Jill was an angel, cooking and cleaning advising. She was his constant. His dedication and love for her was displayed in so many ways. I always chuckled when I heard him telling the other soldiers that she was his and they needed not to make a mess step or he would take care of them. In the books, I don’t remember them mentioning Jill’s and Houghton’s son. It must be an oversight on my part. Regardless, I was very grateful that you offered us an insight into their background because they were such a critical part of the series. It would be wonderful if more people were as giving and caring as this couple. Unfortunately, this book disappears from audible on September 3, 2025 so it is a must read before then!

Vet gets a happy ending

The narration was not great, but I enjoyed the story. I kind of felt like I showed up in the middle of the story, so I felt a little confused.
