The Burden of Trust

Sometimes, the heart exacts more than we want to pay

Faced with a decision that would change her life forever, Katherine “Kate” Woods took the route that seemed best with the circumstances.  Only time would tell whether or not she had made the right choice.  Her own family required more than a bit of finesse.  From being an on-demand aunt for her niece when her sister checked out on them to dealing with her mother’s peculiarities, she just needed some solitude to get her life back on track.

Chris Cody—sexy, arrogant, and in need of a serious attitude adjustment—enters Kate’s life in nothing less than the dramatic way known as second nature to the very handsome movie star.  Armed with his own issues and in need of a good friend, Chris lands on Kate’s doorstep with a proposal to shock them both.

From New York to Florida to California, the two find themselves in a situation that is not “ripped from the headlines” but makes the headlines in all the ways that Kate does not want.  The bonds of love and friendship are truly tested in this moving tale about relationships, families, and life’s surprises.
