Beware of the things you want...for you shall have them.
Kate Bishop wanted-no, she needed-money, and fast. Her roof needed replacing. Her kids needed tuition. Her car was not long for this world. Her ex-husband was a cheap creep. Until one day her wildest fantasy came true-she won the lottery. She-and her family-would never want for anything again. She should be the happiest person on earth...right?
Wrong. Because suddenly everything changed. Her wish came true, but now what? These days there was only one special man who seemed to want her for who she was...and not what she had. It almost made her long to go back.
Almost....
THEY SAY YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE...
And the woman who used to be known as Claire Sherman had to agree. Because that second, that minute, that day exactly six years ago was the one in which everything had simply ceased to be.
Her name-it was now Elena Lopez. Her future-no white lace, no promises, no babies in store for her. Even the man she loved-she had to let Tucker Sutherland go, for his own sake.
But into this altered reality came a new identity. A new hope. Still, once again, it was October. And the winds of change were starting to blow....
"YOU SHOULD NEVER LOOK DOWN ON A SISTER–EXCEPT TO PICK HER UP."
Grace Campisi had lived her whole life according to plan, but her sister Perry–aka "The Screwup"–was more of a live-for-the-moment kind of girl. Which could explain how she showed up nine months pregnant, sans husband, boyfriend or money. The question was, what was Grace, her type A attorney sister (on the partner track), going to do about it?
What, indeed, as it fast became clear to Grace that Perry was not cut out for motherhood–especially when she ran off, leaving a six-week-old baby girl behind. So in order to stick to her plan, Grace could either A) track down her wayward sister, or B) put her niece up for adoption.
Or C)…formulate a new plan?
