    About this ebook

    In this five story collection, love—maternal, romantic, and familial—comes with a cost.

    Meet a woman who learns the power of fear in "The Reason Why"; another discovers the price of ignoring her heart in "The One Certainty". A mother's secret becomes revealed in "Dorcas" and a woman faces her trust issues in "The Neighbor."

    The collection ends with "Wrong Turn" a story about a woman who discovers the consequence of one mistake.

    Includes new bonus story "Regrets"

    Enjoy these stories of friendship, revenge and compassion by Dara Girard.
