About this ebook
The year is 1909, St. Louis, when Hester Cunningham takes a position as a live-in helper for Mr. Jonathan Davis, a widower with a small child. Hester believes caring for this mans daughter will make up for her own childhood when she ran away after a dispute over a family locket, believing her father no longer loved her but only her stepsister and new stepmother.
Soon after Hester takes the job, she develops feelings for her employer and he reciprocates, but Jonathan is newly engaged. Hester then discovers his fiance is none other than her own stepsister, Melanie, who she hasnt seen in ten years.
Since Hester has taken on a different name and is now a grown woman, she is able to conceal her identity for a while, but not the growing attraction she has for Jonathan. Hester tries to fight the feelings she shares with Jonathan, and to keep her identity a secret, but Melanie finds Hester wearing the locket, causing her to discover who Hester really is.
Will her stepsister ruin everything for Hester, forcing her to leave once again? Or has destiny brought Hester back to the family she left behind and to the man she was meant to have.

As a full-time writer, I have enjoyed a freelance writing career working with corporate clients on training manuals and marketing materials, and have also published inspirational non-fiction. These days, however, I spend most of my time writing novels and screenplays. Come Again Destiny came about from sitting in a dentist chair and trying hard to concentrate on something other than the discomfort I was experiencing. The beginning of the plot for this story unfolded as I transported my thoughts away and escaped into the world of Hester Cunningham and Jonathan Davis. When I’m not writing, I enjoy playing the piano, volunteer pursuits with the elderly, helping animals, and getting out in nature. I am happily married to a great man, have a wonderful family, and have two supportive cats who sometimes want to help do the writing on the computer.
