Ten Minutes Past Two

The death of Estelle Mercer's husband of thirty years in a violent work-related accident, leaves her by default as the new president and sole owner of the family construction business, a business of which she has virtually no working knowledge. As the new president of the company, she has no choice but to lean on the management team in place to help her get up to speed with her new responsibilities. Gene Davidson is one of the management team members who is most helpful during this early transition period, and eventually a romance develops that leads to complications that could cause a sudden end to the relationship. The sudden death in a foreign country of Estelle's close friend, Tara Isome, complicates the romance even more. There are many twists and turns and ups and downs as the story moves toward its dramatic, shocking and totally unexpected conclusion.
