One Woman's Treasure

Lindsay Chase had everything she’d ever wanted until a gambling addiction ruined her flashy life in Los Angeles. Forced home to Connecticut to start over, she’s broke, on probation, and ordered to do community service.

When she meets social worker Ellie Tuttle, their attraction is immediate, but Lindsay’s self-centered nature tests Ellie’s usually endless patience and empathy. Lindsay struggles to reconcile who she used to be with her new, humble existence, and she’s not exactly making a great first impression. As Ellie and Lindsay get to know each other while working together at the homeless shelter, they fall into an unlikely friendship that slowly leads to love, despite Ellie’s efforts to avoid it.

But when the shelter is set to close due to lack of funding, Lindsay has the chance to prove she isn’t as selfish as everyone thinks. She’ll save the day and show Ellie she’s worthy of her love. That is if she doesn’t go to jail for it first.

Cassie Burke never believed in second chances. If something didn’t work out, then it was never really meant for her. In the years following two heart-wrenching breakups, she kept her life simple. She’d dated when the opportunity arose but focused her energy on her career and best friends of over thirty years, Jenn and Maggie. Tight since their high school days in the 80s, they’ve weathered many storms. The most tempestuous being Deana, who had briefly joined their “pantheon” and stirred things up as only a beautiful lost soul can, testing their friendship and the strength of Cassie’s heart.

Now as Cassie, Jenn, and Maggie plan a celebration for their fiftieth birthdays, none of them are prepared for the whiplash changes their half-century mark year has in store. Least of all Cassie, who discovers a second chance with Deana might be just what her heart needs.
