Kelton's Rules

THE RULES by Jack Kelton

Rule #1: Never Marry.
Rule #2: If you're stupid enough to ignore Rule 1, never, never marry a divorced woman. She's bound to be smack–dab in the middle of the Divorce Crazies .

And Jack's talking from experience, with the emotional scars and a kid named Kat to prove it.

Abby Lake's Law

A wise woman stands alone. You build your life around a man and then he leaves, and you have nothing but heartache to show for it.

In other words, Abby, just divorced and with custody of son Skyler, has no more interest in anything serious or permanent than Jack does.
