Trusting Romance

Romances in the Building, Book 4

By: S. E. Rose

Narrated by: J D Tomlinson, Savannah Thomas

Jocelyn Martinez has been spending the last year working at a romance bookstore while she finishes her graduate degree. But with her graduation coming up, she's not sure what she's going to do with her life. She's been burned so many times by family, guys she's dated, and even friends that she isn't sure who to trust. It doesn't help that she swears she keeps seeing a man who might be her long-lost father. Her head is spinning, and she feels adrift. Can she even trust herself to figure out her next move?

Hutch Cromwell had everything he wanted. He had a perfect girlfriend, his dream career playing football, and an enormous home near his parents' farm. But when a tractor accident on the farm left him injured, his whole world came crashing down. He's now living in the city, working a job that pays his bills, and not trusting women enough to date.

Jocelyn and Hutch have flirted, talked for hours, and even given each other hugs during hard times. But when they end up sharing a guesthouse on a vacation, their hidden feelings come bubbling to the surface. The only question is: Can these two friends get over their trust issues and give each other a chance at romance?

Contains mature themes.
