Galen's Goal

The world Leigh Bower had built crashed around her slowly, but the final straw was doing the right thing. Leigh prided herself in doing the right thing and taking Genna to live with her father and his new family was just that. She simply couldn't be the mother Genna needed when she now had to work two jobs to pay the bills one used to cover.

When Dennis White calls and offers her the job as his assistant, she is thrilled. It wouldn't pay what she used to make, but it would pay enough and was in a field she knew she would love. Not only does that prove to be true, but she finds a real friend in her new boss. There is just one problem and its name was Galen Lazarus.

Galen owns the center and is the ultimate boss. He is also Den's partner in life and has been for years. It is Galen's interest in her she struggles with. Not only for Den's sake, but her own as well. She is a mother to a fifteen-year-old daughter and has no intention of doing anything to diminish herself in Genna's eyes. Leigh Bower, after all, does the right thing.

But Galen is a force unto himself with enough charisma to start a cult. Leigh finds herself stuck between morals and desire. She doesn't understand Den's encouragement. Hell, she doesn't understand any of this. All she knows is that she is Genna's mother and her actions have consequences. To Genna, to Dennis, to herself, and even to Galen. The goal may have started as Galen's, but were she and Dennis beginning to share it? And, if so, how the hell were they going to manage it without anyone getting hurt?
