QUINTESSENTIALLY the ONE

A secret baby, second-chance, contemporary stand-alone romance

“Representing the most perfect example of quality or class” ~ Quintessential


A trip back to the small Indiana town of Riverbend to finalize my grandmother’s last will and testament throws my world off its axis. I wasn’t prepared to learn the stipulations of her will or that she’d left her beloved mercantile Quintessential Treasures to my college summertime love, Kandace Sheers.

Imagine my greater surprise when I learn about the secret that’s been roaming Riverbend for the last five years. Here are a couple of hints: 

She’s five years old.

She has her mother’s silky auburn hair and my golden eyes. 

The answer is simple. 

I take responsibility for the girl and go back to Chicago where my life awaits.

It turns out, Grandma had other plans because life’s never that simple.
