Maybe she wasn't capable of love.THEN THEIR EYES MET..."So, this is what falling in love really feels like."

A Compelling Tale Of Victory, Loss, And Ultimate Redemption

Sexy veterinarian Zackary Trellis believed in the institution of marriage - despite his ending with a bitter divorce. His ex-wife walked out on their marriage without looking back; now, after three long years of being alone and raising his twin daughters, with his family’s help it’s time for a change...

Sexy, voluptuous massage Therapist Shyla Wilkes certainly fits the bill. She’s single, smart, independent, and full of fire - and fire is what runs through Zackary every time he sees her. But Shyla has more than just a few hang-ups about marriage and the opposite sex...

When she meets his children, could the love she has for them change her mind about having a relationship with their father - the man she’s secretly fallen in love with...?

Running out on Kemah because of her betrayal and joining the ranks of the United States Navy, may not have been the smartest decision Brennan Trellis had ever made, but it was the best he could do on short notice. He found that his heart was safer at sea than it ever was on land. As far as he was concerned it was the only way to stay away from the conniving, coldhearted opposite sex. Women left a trail of destruction in their wake and Kemah McGovern was the ring leader. After 5 long years and a permanent injury that received him a medical and honorable discharge, Brennan returned home to Napa California. Soon after, he began dating the local women but he still had his hang-ups about them, only this time he wouldn’t allow himself to get burned. Every woman he dated, and he dated plenty, was the very opposite of Kemah. Fair skin, tall and pencil thin, anything to keep the memories away. Or at least that’s what he had hoped. The past always has a way of catching up with you as Brennan later found out. His memories of their love weren’t just memories, and trying to fight it, he discovered, was far more challenging than fighting the enemy in the Gulf.

In life there are some things that you just have no control over. Prepare to suffer the consequences because, for these things you can do nothing to prevent them. One such thing is aging. You cannot avoid the blurred vision, the aching joints, or the loss of firmness or texture in your skin; for some of us, the loss of hair can be a traumatic realization. Coming to terms with the unavoidable can be heart wrenching and depressing at times.
I used to be a slim, strong, handsome fellow that was proud of what he saw as he looked into a mirror. Then after a while, I began to notice a change. This change was gradual, but it was nonetheless shocking. As I would sit at my computer and I would look in the mirror across the room, I noticed a fat man staring back at me. Then I realized that the fat man was ME! How did this happen? Where did I go wrong? And then it became clear to me. The answer hit me like a ton of bricks. I was swollen to an almost enormous size as a result of an unavoidable consequence…I’m a Baptist.
That’s right, a Baptist.
