Synopsis
After learning Jessica's been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, her fiancé bolted out of her life as if he was on fire. She finds solace in her career--no distractions or romantic entanglements there!
But the universe has its own agenda.
Three thousand miles away from home and in the most unlikely of circumstances, Jessica meets Silicon Valley rising star James Callahan and her world is instantly turned upside down. Things go further awry when she encounters a ghost from the past. That one night of reckless abandon is back to haunt her and the control she fought so hard to regain is now in the hands of another.
Plagued by betrayal and guilt over his dad’s untimely death, James left Cambridge in search of a new beginning. With laser-focus, he built a cutting edge technology company now on the brink of financial success. Romance is the last thing on his mind…until he meets Jessica.
Fate brought them together, awakening their dormant emotions. But Jessica’s scandalous secret consumes her and threatens the very happiness she feared she’d never find with another man. Can James handle the truth about her past? Or did she pick the wrong guy yet again?
Excerpt:
“Life’s
too short. I get it now, after all this time. I’ve done a lot of soul-searching
lately and I don’t want to miss out on living anymore. I want to enjoy as much
as I can without having to be bogged down with worries. You never know when
your time’s up.” He snapped his fingers. “It can happen just like that.”
“You’re
right, the small stuff really isn’t that important.” She hesitated, not knowing
what to say next.
He
stroked her hand. “I decided I’d rather take a chance on something ... or someone ... then wonder if things might have been different if I
wasn’t afraid to try.”
Jessica’s
heart pounded as he stared at her. She saw the hope alive in his eyes. He says that now. But will he still feel
that strongly once he finds out I’m sick? Will he still want me then? I don’t
want to find out, it’s better if we keep this light. But she couldn’t ignore the
unmistakable connection between them. It was almost strong enough to trump her
fears and insecurities, at least for the short-term.
