Product Information

Love can be scary. We put our heart in the hands of another and that requires trust. But the alternative is that we go through life without love and that's not a great option either." She snatched her hand away from his and curled her fingers into her palm to stop herself from touching him. “You should join the others. You’re wasting a perfect beach day.” The thought made her frown. Not even by virtue of a thought did she want her father to tarnish her relationship with Seth.

Hi, Dr. Carlyle.” Her face turned pink, and she dropped the magazine she’d been reading under the desk. “Is there something I can do for you? Coffee? Bagel? Anything at all? You just need to ask.

Her brother, calm as always, had taken control. It was probably just a delivery, he’d said. A neighbor. If I leave your father, I’ll lose you.

To be sure she didn’t give in to temptation and fling her arms around him, she wrapped them around herself.He’d felt a burst of exasperation and frustration, followed by an increased determination that this time they were going to talk.
