His To Cherish

I was a single father that worked my entire life to provide a stable life for my son, Derrick. Everything changed the day Derrick and his friend Shane went for a typical skateboarding ride after school and never made it home.

Losing my son in that tragic accident sent me into the deepest despair imaginable. But somehow, through my grief, I felt a connection to the woman who tried to help him.

As the first witness to that horrible accident, Middle School librarian, Chelsea Dwyer, had no idea that both of our lives were about to irrevocably change.

As hard as I tried, I couldn't stay away from Chelsea. She was the comforting solace I needed and desperately craved as I navigated the path to understand how fate could be so cruel to take my only son away from me. She was the only one who seemed to understand a modicum amount of my pain, perhaps because she'd survived her own life-changing loss.

It also didn't hurt that I had wanted to get to know the sexy librarian for years but never made my move.

In the wake of tragedy, could two hearts entwined by tragedy move on to form a loving, healthy bond? Or will it be too hard for me to give Chelsea the chance to prove that love really can heal all wounds?
