Not His Choice

Peter Roach is a bachelor and loving it. Three of his four brothers have taken well to wedded bliss. Peter’s desire is polar opposite. When a woman, who doesn’t fit the ‘in-need’ bill, walks into Carla’s Soup Kitchen, Peter reluctantly helps her as tears start to fall. One argument, one offer of a ride, and one offer of accommodation get him involved in Pamela Brinkley’s life deeper than the meaning of the word. The funny thing is, after just a few days of knowing her, the single life is starting to lose a lot of luster.Pamela Brinkley is a single mother, raising her four kids. Her salary seems to shrink monthly. There’s always a cash flow problem—money floods out of her bank account. The man who saves her from being stranded by giving her a ride when her car breaks down gives her shelter the same night when her oil runs out. Peter Roach is an incredible human being. Pamela is baffled that he continues to stick around after his Good Samaritan acts. Not many modern men would do all that for a girl with four kids. One hot kiss on a stormy night reminds her that she has needs she’s been neglecting. Stick around, Peter!A heartache from the past reminds Peter why he should steer clear of heart-entanglement in the present. With Pamela and her situation so similar to Marianne and hers, can Peter trust that Pam won’t break his heart? The trouble is that Pamela may be forced to make a choice that will cost her the love of the man she cares for—Peter Roach.
