Odds Against Tomorrow

Jessica Chandler and Blake Randall have a lot of unfinished business.

Jessica had once idolized Blake and when the opportunity came, she had given herself to him shamelessly. She tossed his duty-bound proposal in his face. After all, she had her pride.

An automobile accident took the lives of her parents and caused her many months of physical therapy and grief counseling. Although she was in a wheelchair, her torn body was healing.

After several long years, Blake was ending his self-imposed exile. He realized that time away did not diminish his intense desire for Jessica. It did, however, ease the pain of her rejection. Being away from his family had cost him more than he cared to admit and he longed for their close contact.

Little did Blake and Jessica know that an unexpected encounter would change the course of their lives.
