Waiting for Zoey

A chance meeting changes both lives.

Zoey: I've built my life around helping others. But kindness is hard when my mother's words cut deep, and my sister attacks every chance she gets. Now I may never see my nephew, Mason, again.

At least I have my two best friends and the old house we share on Pendleton Drive. They've always known how to help me. Then Jeremy walks into my life. When my family's cruelty leaves me broken, he finds the patience to hold me until I almost feel whole again. But that doesn't mean he's interested in me.

Jeremy: I'm a middle school gym teacher in Eagle Landing, and I live life on my own terms. Until Zoey, it never mattered if a woman walked away.

Once, I blurted out a secret that wasn't mine to tell, and my sister paid the price. I swore I'd never make that mistake again. So when Mason, one of my students, tells me something I can't forget, I keep it to myself. Now I'm falling for his aunt, and I'm keeping a secret that could break her heart. If I tell her, I could lose her. If I don't, I could lose so much more.

This time, the greatest risk isn't falling in love. It's trusting love enough to tell the truth
