LEAP OF FAITH

MEET. DATE. LOVE. MARRIAGE. THE TYPICAL ORDER OF RELATIONSHIPS. UNTIL ROBERT MEETS PATRICIA!

Robert McKnight called himself a "nerdy accountant" but he was really a successful Forensic CPA and a partner in an elite accounting firm, as well as charming, fun, handsome, and sexy by any woman's standards. He also had a secret life that he could only share with immediate family. Tired of serial dating, Robert was ready for love and marriage. He knew upon meeting Patricia Harris that she would change the course of his life so he changed the order of their relationship: Meet. Marriage. Date. Love.

Pat wrote about love and happily ever after but had not fully experienced it herself. Recently divorced, she was resigned to a quiet life of work and writing until her heart could heal. Then came Robert McKnight. Bold and charismatic, he made her feel that maybe they really could have their own happily ever after.

A chance meeting at his birthday dinner generated Panther Heat -- mutual hot, steamy attraction -- and stimulating conversation, followed by a marriage proposal and a wedding ceremony, all on the same night. But when real life sets in, she starts to believe that maybe 'happily ever after' was not for them after all.
