eBook Description: Longing for a career-launching project, Rayleen aggressively convinces a representative to hire her. Moving her meager belongings, along with her son, from LA to Texas, she feels confident Texas will offer a new life. Agitated with his entrusted friend's choice for the renovation of his inherited ranch estate, Bronson begins spending time there and becomes amazed by Rayleen's talents, but suspicious of her past. He tries to befriend the woman unlike most, and unwelcomingly noses into her life. When a jealous former flame feels betrayed, she invents convincing schemes to rid Rayleen from Bronson's life. With all the bizarre events unfolding, Bronson savors Rayleen's sudden need of him before realizing how comfortably she fits into his life. Surviving the downward spirals and regretfully refusing Bronson's proposal, Rayleen remains obstinate of moving forward alone, knowing if her one remaining secret were exposed, no man would want her, or her son.

Chapter 1A desperate cry penetrated the depth of Rayleen's consciousness, causing her eyes to open. Her breathing was labored and her eyes darted back and forth as she struggled to place her whereabouts. Within seconds she realized she was in her room, lying in her bed. Her body was hot, perspiration clung to her skin and her heart beat faster than a racehorse crossing the finish line of a race. The daunting tune continued to play inside her head, even though she was now fully awake. The dream was back, and for the love of God, she didn't know why. When she heard soft sobs, she adjusted her eyes to the faint light and discovered her six year old son crouched in the corner of the room. Untangling the covers from her body, she rose to offer comfort, but grew concerned when he cowered from her approach. "Wyatt, it's Mommy," Rayleen assured him in a whisper. "Mommy was dreaming. I didn't mean to scare you." Not receiving a positive response, she held out her arms and hoped to entice him into her embrace. "I'm really sorry, Wyatt, if I scared you, but I was dreaming. Mommy's awake now. I'm not dreaming any more."
