Come What May — Tracee Lydia Garner

In the wake of a scandal that forces her to flee her Virginia hometown, Trisha Jameson gratefully accepts a position at an elementary school in Macon, Georgia. Here, she hopes to make a fresh start far from the tragedy that haunts her heart and soul. Her prayers seem to be answered when she meets her new students, especially precocious second-grader Thomas, who thinks she'd make the perfect wife for his lonely dad, former pro-football star Chase Alton.

Hurt and angry after his wife's shattering betrayal, Chase is too busy being a single parent to his little boy to have much time for regrets--or anything else. His instant attraction to his son's new teacher takes him completely by surprise. Rather than fight his feelings, Chase pursues a relationship with Trisha. As they lose themselves to a passion as healing as it is irresistible, Chase's vindictive ex-wife re-enters the picture, seeking custody of their son?and an enemy from Trisha's past sets out to destroy the life she's made for herself. Now it will take all the trust and faith Chase and Trisha possess to fight for their love?whatever the future might hold.
