Don't Leave Me — Lisa B. Diamond

Twenty-two year old Dominic had been sailing his boat down the Intracoastal Waterway to find himself and he found Danielle instead at the Isle of Palms. Suddenly, he wanted whatever she did because he loved her. Her world became his. But, Danielle was used to putting everyone else's needs before her own. She worked in her mother's shop until her mother sold it. She went traveling with her boyfriend because it was what he wanted and to get away from home for awhile. When would she put her needs first? Danielle felt that when she was with Dominic, they were almost breathing as one. Until a moment of terror, which tore them apart. After a few more tries, Dominic is once again looking at Danielle's artwork. This time realizing how they can be together and breathe as one, once again, for now and always. First love, sweet and passionate, ever hopeful, always triumphs.
