Second-chance family
The only thing philanthropist Quinn O’Neill wants is to forget the accident that took his wife and son. He doesn’t expect a fender bender with a lovely stranger to change his life in a major way. Struggling single mom Ava Darnell and her teenage son have their own hardships. What better way for him to lend a hand than through the Dreams Come True Foundation? But helping Ava means earning her trust...and having faith that dreams of healing and family just might become reality.
“I missed being here.” His eyes searched hers. “And I missed seeing you.”
The temperature rose. Her cheeks burned as she gazed at him, not knowing if she should say thank-you or toss out a lighthearted comment. Before she could move, he slipped his arm around her.
“What’s Brandon up to now?”
The change in topic caught her off guard. “Resting. No school until next week, but he’s fine.”
“I’m relieved.” He brushed her cheek with his index finger.
His eyes searched hers, making her uncomfortable. She didn’t understand the touch or his embrace. Her mind spun. “Did you see the living room?”
His head jerked back as if she’d surprised him. “No. I came in through the garage.”
She struggled for breath. “Come take a look.” She beckoned to him, trying to keep her hands from shaking. She needed to get a grip.
He followed her lead, and when he reached the archway, he stopped, his gaze sweeping the room. “Wow! That makes a difference.”
“Do you like it?”
“I do, but…”
She hung on his voice, waiting for him to finish the sentence, but he only gazed at her. “But what?”
Quinn drew closer and slipped both arms around her. “But I like you more.”

Thanks to my Facebook group,
Readers of Gail Gaymer Martin’s Books,
for their support, ideas and amazing comments and reviews. Without readers, an author’s books would
sit on shelves. Thanks to the Michigan Secretary of State for providing detailed information on the process for obtaining a driver’s license. Today the rules are very different from my day. Thanks also to Wendy at B&B Collision for answering my many questions about accident repairs. And always, my deepest thanks go to my husband, Bob. Without his support and love, I wouldn’t be the writer I am today.
