Don't Ask Me

Trust. A skill Jill never learned. Unless she counted the Magic 8 Ball she’d carried around since childhood. The last time she’d made a decision without consulting the toy, someone died. Jill wouldn’t take that chance again, even if it meant abandoning her dream of marriage and children. Living in isolation for the rest of her days meant everyone stayed alive. Trust. A concept Trey avoided. Without facts, verification, and concrete evidence, he ignored everything he heard. Feelings had no place in his world. Trey’s laser-focus on his career ensured he’d never be tempted with emotional distractions. Distractions that could recreate the trauma he’d endured during his childhood. His career concentrated on ensuring no other family endured what he had. Jill and Trey never factored romance into their lives. Then Jill lost her job, and Trey’s most loyal employee quit. Hiring Jill seemed like an answer to both of their problems. Yet spending every day in close proximity generated emotions neither of them expected. Emotions that challenged not only their long-protected comfort zones but goals for their futures as well. Will the pains from their childhoods drive them apart or pull them together? How long can they maintain the walls around their hearts? Can they let down their guards and trust God to heal their wounds? Don’t Ask Me is a closed-door Christian romance.
