A Fine Romance Cecelia M Chittenden

Sarah gripped her fist so hard she felt her nails cut into her palm. "I'm trying to be as honest as I can." "Then say it, say you don't love me," he spat."I'm going to hang up now," she said as a tear rolled down her cheek. "Please don't hate me. I'm sorry I've hurt you. Goodbye.""Don't you dare..."Sarah turned off the phone, cutting off his sentence. She laid her head on the pillow and took a jagged breath. She stared at the ceiling as her tears dried on her cheeks. Right at that moment, she thought she had died, except she could feel her heart pounding, and each beat called his name. She hid her face in the pillow and sobbed. She wanted so badly to take it all back. She couldn't say she didn't love him because that would be the biggest lie of all. Sarah Gallagher's focus was on a career, but Cupid had a different idea. From a small town in South Carolina, Sarah doesn't look the part of an Antique Appraiser. She is a green-eyed, four feet eleven inches tall twenty-four-year-old blonde, with a dimple in one cheek who wears snug-fitting jeans. She inherited a love of antiques from her grandmother, who is renowned in the field, and Sarah follows in her footsteps. Her qualifications land her a short-term position at a Denver museum. Dating and a relationship are not uppermost on her mind, but two men in Denver have other ideas. Ross, a brash young executive falls for Sarah and wants to keep her in Denver after her short-term position is over. Nick, a doctor, is older and believes his time for love is past. His path keeps crossing with Sarah's, and he discovers he isn't too old for love after all. For the first time, with help from Cupid, Sarah falls in love. She surrenders to the bliss, but fate turns the page and tragedy strikes and the bliss is threatened. Caught with no way out, Sarah calls off her future with her new love. Will Fate turn a new page, or will it leave Sarah with only the promise of bliss?
