Juggling several part-time jobs and building a career don't lend themselves to building close relationships. That is until she meets the man who changes everything.
Marc Guiro is a working acting. His career is progressing well, but his longtime relationship isn't making his life easy. His girlfriend wants marriage and a "traditional" lifestyle. He likes things the way they are, unfettered and relatively uncomplicated. But when he meets a beautiful fellow actor, the safe place he thought his heart was in is turned in another direction.
Decorum dictates they remain friends. Days turn into weeks. Weeks turn into months of denying their true feelings. As their careers grow, so too does their desire for each other. How hard are they willing to fight to keep the façade, or how long until the dam breaks and their love for each other takes control? Book 1 of a series.

 Mary LingerfeltI love a good yarn, and it's my goal as a writer to provide entertaining, uplifting romances that satisfy the reader's desire for a good story. I strive to create genuine, complex characters who are worthy of love and respect, characters who struggle with the issues we all face, yet who triumph over their mistakes and obstacles to find God in a new and meaningful way.
I hope that my books will encourage readers to persevere in adversity, to reach out in faith, and to overcome obstacles in that greatest of all romances -- a love relationship with God.
Amazon Review:This is a great book about god and love and family and friends.I couldn't put it down.
I laughed, cried and was so into it as if I was there.
I want more!
Mary is a very good writer.
Thank you Mary.
