A convenient date

the long version

"You can find love and relationships—you just can’t schedule it. Two years after the unexpected death of her husband, Kaitlyn Reid’s life is finally getting on track. Her reputation for helping the less fortunate in Seattle is firm, her bank account solid and she is ready to begin again. In one day, her reality is shattered. Sued by a woman claiming her husband fathered a child, Kaitlyn then realizes a lawsuit for stolen millions is inevitable. Still reeling from the news, Kaitlyn meets Rick Santos, a financier who recently relocated to Seattle and attends many of the same industry events. Unaware of her personal turmoil, Rick proposes they be each other’s ‘convenient date.’ Vulnerable but with nothing to lose, she accepts. A Convenient Date is about one woman navigating the fragments of her shattered reality and striving to piece together a fulfilling future. Does she have the ability to trust her heart to Rick, who increasingly serves as her ballast during her times of crisis, or will she run from him, fearing that history will repeat itself? Ultimately, Kaitlyn learns that doing the right thing isn’t discretionary nor is it convenient. It may cost her money, her reputation and the true love of her life, but it will give her the freedom she needs to live again."--Cover, page 4.
