Broken — Casey Clifford

"Marry me..."
"No, not yet..."

A proposal goes astray...

Brenna is in her late-twenties when Caleb proposes. Her hesitation followed by her promise to do so--someday--sets in motion changes which could rip them apart.

Caleb's in his late-thirties. His parents want a grandchild. His father's health isn't good. He's ready to settle down though his career is busier than ever. His parents and his profession keep him on the west coast or globe-trotting. But he wants Brenna close and as his wife.

Brenna's business has taken off. She's busier than ever but her consulting projects keep her in Milwaukee or else traveling across continents and oceans. Her parents want her to marry. But that's not a role she's ready to take on. They'd like more grandchildren, but her biological clock isn't ticking. In fact it's not even nearby. She's living the career she worked so hard for and enjoying every minute. Whenever she and Caleb can be together, she looks forward to living in the moment and enjoying their time to the fullest.

Characters unravel or bloom...

How can he want a different life when they both started out with such unified goals? Why would he think she might want to? 1975 is the Year of the Woman. Brenna is following her dream career and loving Caleb. Her way.

Can these two soul mates agree to walk the same path hand in hand? Will the miles between them, their diverging careers, needy families, and shifting goals shatter a love neither believed would ever fail?
