A Reason to Trust

Christine Marshall endured a childhood of abuse and neglect. If not for the friendship of her two best friends, her life would have been unbearable. Years later, seeing the happiness that her friends had finally found with two wonderful men made Christine happy. She still didn't question her own stance to remain alone though, especially given her past. Until one night and too many martinis, she makes a decision that would change her life completely. Jonas Wade was a confident, no nonsense guy who grew up surrounded by his family's love. He worked hard and at a young age, started his own company, enjoying much success. A success he thought completed his life until he met the one woman who made him realize that he wasn't as content as he had thought. Unfortunately, convincing her they were meant to be together proved to be an uphill battle. Getting past whatever demons plagued Christine from her past was difficult enough, but there was also a threat to his company that involved the very woman he loved. Until Jonas could solve the mystery, both he and Christine were in danger. As the CEO of his own company, Jonas isn't a stranger to hard work. He takes his job seriously and protecting those he loves even more so. Sadly, and to his utter frustration, Christine continually places herself in harm's way in her efforts to help him. Can he keep her safe from what threatens them both? And more importantly, can he break through the barriers that Christine built round herself to give them both a chance at happiness?
