The true measure of a person's
worth lies not within what they can offer you but what you have to offer them.
No matter how desirable, are they worth your time, patience, forgiveness,
loyalty, friendship, love, respect, understanding, compassion, trust? If not,
they are worth more than you have to offer.
They deserve for you to let them
go.
Charlotte Roberts and Augustus (Auggie)
Caffrey may never have known each other, if it were not for William Caffrey.
They would have simply moved on with their own lives without the anger and
resentment that followed, when William fell for Charlotte almost six years
ago.
Under
the pretense of introducing Trace Delgado, her soon to be fiancé, to
her adoptive parents, Emerson and Amila Roberts, Charlotte arrives back in her
small southern hometown to personally collect on the forgiveness William
promised he would give her if she ever returned.
Spending
his days at the hospital with his brother William and his nights tending bar at
The Dog House, Auggie knows it is only a matter of time before he loses the
brother he has tried his entire life to protect.
When
Auggie finds out Charlotte is in town, to no doubt torment his brother on his
death bed, he wants her to stay as far away from William as possible. All
Charlotte wants is to be forgiven and move on with a clear conscience. While,
William's dying wish is to ensure the two people he cares about most
step outside of their comfort zones and see that life is not as cut and dry as
they think it is.
Charlotte's guilt and
Auggie's brotherly devotion compel them to, secretly, follow through
with William's last requests forcing them to begrudgingly spend time
together. The more time they spend together, the closer they become. And the
harder it is to keep what is taking place between them secret.
Late
nights visits and stolen moments cause Charlotte to fall hard. But when a
reminder of what brought them together stops Auggie dead in his tracks, he
starts to question how far he's willing to go with someone who was his
brother's first.

short story when she was in high school, M. instantly fell in love with
writing. However, life sometimes gets in the way of aspirations and it

start writing again.
'For me, each new book I
write or character I create feels like the first time and I find myself falling
in love with writing all over again'
