Born on the poor side of town and raised in a broken home with abandonment issues, Ellen Masters was street smart hard. Looking for love and acceptance in all the wrong places taught her to never trust men. Beaten and abused by one boyfriend and then another, she was never loved, only used.

Just as steel sharpens steel, Ellen built a new life. A few reckless minutes after lowering her guard, Ellen became a single mom.

Her life changed forever. A new life grew inside her, and Andy became her universe; the center of her being. She refused to let life treat her son the way it treated her.

During a trip to a local park, her world almost crashed. If it weren't for a stranger’s immediate intervention, jumping into a frigid pond and saving her son from drowning, Andy would be dead.

A tentative relationship developed between Ellen and the stranger, Jacob Peters, a newspaper reporter.

Secrets from Ellen’s past and Jake’s general wariness of women kept these lonely souls apart.

The past will haunt you unless you deal with it and move on. Ellen’s seedy, nefarious ex-boyfriend has plans to use Ellen to weasel out of his latest crisis; of course, it won’t end well for Ellen.

But it's though the eyes of precocious three-year old Andy that Jake discovers the meaning of love and Ellen finds what she’s sought her whole life.

Andy is a contemporary romance at 35,000 words containing adult themes. It contains adult language and consensual sex between adults.
