She'd love to invest herself in everything else, but "everything else" never came easily for her.

After Kate’s world had shattered into pieces, she pushed everyone away, including Trent, and hid. She knew she couldn’t hide forever. So, in an effort to move forward, she built castle-strong walls to hide behind, walls that Trent had every intention of tearing down. Embarrassed and ashamed that her secrets were now out in the open, she was reluctant to let Trent back into her life. His refusal to allow her to continue to push him away had her heart shifting in a way she wasn’t prepared for. Trent wasn’t prepared to feel the same shift in his heart either.

Something was changing in me, too quickly and dangerously.

Thinking I’d never see him again, imagine my surprise when he popped into my store to ask me out on a date. To say I was thrown a bit off-kilter would be an understatement.

Not to mention, the man had enough charm to fill my boutique and then some.
