Truly in Trouble

By Madeleine Pines

Luke and Hazel don't have a lot in common, except for the word no. He hasn't heard one from a woman yet.She has trouble saying one to anyone who needs her help.

But Hazel is in a pickle-her past keeps turning up uninvited. So, when Luke offers her a half-baked proposition beneficial to both, against her better judgment, Hazel agrees. What starts as a simple favour becomes an ill-advised trip to Portugal, layered banter between found family and an attraction they're both resisting like hell. As secrets surface and feelings complicate, both must confront their fears and past wounds to determine whether opening up to love is worth the trouble it might bring, because the rules both of them have lived by don't seem to fit anymore.Truly in Trouble is a heartfelt story about taking chances, embracing uncertainty and the courage it takes to choose something you want-especially when you've spent years convincing yourself you don't need it. About what happens when two people see each other for exactly who they're trying to hide.

Because falling in love isn't the hard part.

Choosing to stay is.

For anyone who's ever fallen for someone at exactly the wrong time-and hoped they'd stay anyway.
