FASCINATION

Will loving her be worth the risk?

In this sweet Southern romance, Susannah is thrilled with her new independence and doesn’t need a man to complete her life. Yet when she meets Edward, she’s captivated.

When Edward’s law firm assigns him an out-of-state project, he’s torn between his career success and Susannah. As his fascination grows into love, which will he choose?

Gene Courtland’s world becomes perfect when Bernice enters it. He wants to spend the rest of his life with Bernice but is too vulnerable to tell her.

A roadblock named Ruth believes Gene loves her, not Bernice. Ruth will do anything to tear them apart. When Ruth’s behavior turns irrational, will Bernice and Gene ever have their happily ever after?
