Because of You — Dianne Venetta

Animal rights activist Kinsley Fairchild has dedicated her life to the cause and is determined to prevent the Silver Creek Ski Resort from expanding because it will destroy hundreds of acres of pristine land and displace area wildlife. Grant Powell is a business owner in town who stands to benefit from the expansion. More resort equates to more business. He believes the activists have a right to protest, but when his friend's fur store goes up in flames, it becomes personal. And must be stopped. Complicating matters is Sebastian Wu. As Kinsley's right hand man, Sebastian feels entitled to make decisions in the name of the cause. Unfortunately for her, his decisions are geared toward removing Kinsley from her leadership role, a position he believes belongs to him. Tangled up in her passion for animals and the affections of a man she never dreamed she'd care for, Kinsley must choose between them. Should she take a chance on love or fight for the cause of her life?
