Never to Keep

Madison Miller is broken. Everyone she's loved throughout her life has left her in one way or another. Her father died when she was ten years old. Her mother left to return to Spain. Now she's watching her only brother's casket descend into the ground after a fatal accident. Plus her boyfriend since the sixth grade is dumping her for "not being enough". Madison escapes from the funeral, heading to a hotel bar to drown her sorrows. There she meets a stranger who awakens something inside of her. He helps her forget that life is a series of losses. For one night she gains someone to care for her. In those stolen moments, nothing else matters. The next morning, though, all she can feel is guilt, so she slips away without saying goodbye. Madison is devoted to those she loves and would do anything for her family. She finds herself moving back home when her brother's widow needs help caring for their seven-year-old daughter. Little does she know, she will soon face the biggest challenge of her life. In the near future, fate will have their paths cross again, and the question will be whether this complicated but caring woman can convince this distrustful and disillusioned man to believe in falling in love for the first time in his life. Will passion and desire be enough to surmount all of life's obstacles, or will the threat of heartache and overwhelming responsibility keep these two lovers apart forever?
