ROAD APPLES - Available December 2nd, 2011 - from Musa Publishing

 

Madeline Benités is a realist, unaffected by the power of destiny. A skeptic, she believes in free will, though she is often trapped by her personal expectations. When the man in her life, Jake, is engaged to another woman, and her sister, Mallory, is cleared of first-degree murder, Maddie feels a need for distance. Her solution is a road trip. With newfound confidence, she gives Jake one last chance, and catches him in the arms of another woman. Outraged at her naiveté, Maddie renounces love.
And then, she unexpectedly meets Wyatt McLain, a glaringly honest man, whose compelling past is part of his charm. Complete strangers, their lives hold too many similarities to be coincidence. A true believer in fate, Wyatt is convinced they have been thrown together for a purpose. That future is shrouded in uncertainty when Maddie discovers she is pregnant, and isn’t sure whether the father is Jake or Wyatt. When their lives seem headed toward disaster, Maddie must decide whether to allow fate or free will to determine the outcome.
