Lawyer Jessie White is fired, evicted and jilted, all on the same day. Hitting rock bottom, she moves back home and immediately ends up in a sparring match with 'Red', the hunky guy next door. She soon discovers that miracles really do happen and how love often finds you, just when you're not looking.
Damn! I should never have left that note for Hazel, telling her where I was. But she knew I'd been looking for him and probably figured I could finally get the money he owed.
Excerpt:
"What's the matter? Not glad to see me?" He pouted, looking genuinely hurt. "I've missed you sooo much."
When I still didn't move, he looked around, then said, "How about we go over there in the lobby. At least we'll have a bit of privacy."
"Don't do it," said Maggie, grabbing my arm.
Her voice pulled me out of my trance.
"Have to," I said, shrugging her arm off. The money he'd scammed would sure come in handy right about now.
Somehow, I managed to get up. Jim grabbed my hand, but I shook it free and followed him to an isolated area where a few chairs had been set up to accommodate extra diners waiting to be seated. Fortunately, no one was there.
"I realized I can't live without you," said Jim. "Surely you feel the same?"
"Get real." At last, I found my voice. "You stole from me."
"But I needed it." He never batted an eyelash. Like, the fact he needed it would make it all right.
"It's called stealing. A felony."
"Awwwww… baby, c'mon. We all have failings."
