Four To One

Ava planned to get her life together once she found time to take a breath. She spent every minute racing from one responsibility to the next, working double shifts just to make ends meet. Her goals of marriage and children raised in a home with a yard disappeared when her sister left town. Now it fell to Ava to take care of everyone else. Everyone but herself. Her schedule, or finances, didn’t allow opportunities to meet a man, no less find time to convince him that she was worth the trouble. Bradford William Truman IV possessed enough money to hire an army of people to run his business. Except he lacked the ability to release control of his family’s dynasty to anyone. His career demanded his full attention, leaving no time for personal relationships or romance. If not for his mother’s nagging to produce an heir, he’d live the bachelor life until his dying breath. Or until he met a woman who could be a suitable life partner. Could their chance encounter redirect both their futures? Or would family obligation and duty keep them isolated in their own worlds, destined to lament their unfulfilled dreams?
