Chelsea’s world collapsed literally in one heartbeat. She’d always dreamed of returning home and working beside her father in his CPA firm. The small-town lifestyle called to her soul. But her parents had other plans. Plans that involved caring for her sister in Houston. Then one day she received a phone call that changed everything. Trent, like all his small-town classmates, had inherited his father’s business. Unfortunately, it was a funeral home. He didn’t mind the work. Helping people and fixing their problems gave him great satisfaction. But being a mortician meant foregoing marriage. No woman, not even his own mother, wanted to be married to a man whose days were consumed by death. When Chelsea’s world collided with Trent’s, the sparks flew. Except Chelsea had commitments in the city, and Trent possessed no hope that any woman could tolerate his career choice. Their paths had crossed, but they both knew they’d go their separate ways once the crisis had passed. Or would they?
