Danielle Grant Series

Made for Me is the first of a three-book series focused on the journey of Danielle Grant, a talented and successful gold trader who lost her mother in college and since graduate school has done little more than work, take care of her ailing father and go on periodic dates with divorced, older men who are as uninterested in a relationship as she is. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she takes a job in Zurich and meets Lars Egle, a striking, intense and single professional in her new company. He reiterates key sections of the multi-page contract Danielle has signed regarding restrictions against becoming involved with clients. Confident she can maintain a high, thick barrier against romantic distractions, Danielle agrees to go out dancing with her friends and the young owner of a yacht company, Andre Mettler. His reserved personality intrigues her more than any older man ever had, giving her months of site-seeing excursions and late night passion. Her new world of romance in a foreign country is disrupted when she learns Andre presents conflicts with her employment. Only then does she realize her feelings for him run much deeper than she ever thought—or expected. Torn between the terms of her employment contract and fulfilling her commitment, Danielle walks away from the arms of one man, unknowingly into the arms of another who loves her just as deeply. Just when she is prepared to take the ultimate step in her new relationship, her life is upended in a circumstance so unexpected, full of both loss but new life, that she is forced to be grateful she gave up the short, safer path of immediate gratification for the harder road that provides long-term happiness and fulfillment.

Destined for You is the second book in the Danielle Grant Series, picking up five months after giving birth to her first child. Danielle is now living the life her father always imagined for her. A beautiful, healthy child, a position at the top of her field and the man that seemed to be made just for her. Then the unexpected happens—again. Tragedy strikes, catapulting her into a vortex of grief. For herself and her daughter, Danielle takes the advice of her mentor and former love to step back from her career, at least for a time. When she returns to Zurich, she contends with finding a new place to call home, Monroe's grandparents and going back to work. Increasingly, she has turned to one man for counsel and inspiration, the one who was there from the beginning. As she rediscovers who she is and what she wants for her future, Danielle questions if she can overcome her fears to have love again. With her family hanging in the balance, Danielle forges ahead, believing that destiny will find her and bring along the man who was always destined to be in her life, forever.

Danielle Grant left America to find success abroad and never dreamed she'd find love and have a child along the way. But tragedy left her single, alone, and wounded in ways she didn't even fully understand. Struggling to find happiness, she finally discovered it in the arms of Lars, and for a while all seemed well. When Lars tells her he cannot be with her any longer, Danielle is at a crossroads.

She must confront the past, work through her grief and help herself in a way he cannot. Devastated, Danielle accepts his decision, and is determined to forge a new and independent life, without relying upon a man for anything. And so begins her journey of self-reflection, where she pushes against her own fears and vulnerabilities, immerses herself in her career and makes unexpected connections with several men she meets. But Danielle comes to believe that time is precious and true love is forever, eventually realizing she needs Lars, and what they have together is meant to be.
