author: Bendover, Lillian
description: Sophie Betancourt has it all: comfortable wealth, good looks and the envy of men and women alike. But when a violent encounter with a particularly possessive partner shakes her world upside down, She begins to wonder if what she's been relying on is enough.
  
  When bookworm Carol Madras enters Sophie's world at the point of crisis, the two begin to forge a friendship that could turn into something more.  Can love be found where pain once lived?
  
  
  
  EXCERPT:
  
  It would be a few more weeks before Carol began to understand what exactly it was that happened to Sophie that fateful night.  Outside of the physical trauma Kenna put her through, Carol began to see the emotional turmoil the situation stirred within Sophie.  Though she owned real estate and had investments enough to cover her during this and the next life time, the few short months she had been with Kenna left Sophie void and the encounter that night was her breaking point.  Carol never forced Sophie into telling her anything that she was not comfortable and always made it a point to wait her out.  That kiss though, never left her mind or her lips.
