Ask Me Again

By Jenny Berlin

Description:

Minda McAllister has her hands full raising a teenaged daughter and struggling to pay her bills. On top of that, she takes care of the tenants who live in her apartment building, and she has responsibilities at church. But when Minda's daughter brings a handsome man home to meet her, Minda's life gets a little more complicated. Mark Cartier has wealth, charm, and movie-star good looks. So what on earth is this thirty-something man doing with her teenaged daughter? It's a question Minda is determined to get answered.

Years ago, Mark Cartier put his Christian upbringing behind him to concentrate on achieving success in the business world. So he's not surprised when his New York real estate development company selects him to go to Colorado with one goal: Succeed where others failed and convince Minda McAllister to sell her downtown apartment building. Mark's willing to do just about anything to get the lonely widow to sign on the dotted line; but when he finally meets her face to face, she's not what he expected. She's kind, pretty, and ... irresistible. Before he can stop himself, he's drawn into her world, going to church, helping the elderly, and playing in a charity baseball game.

Mark's having a hard time keeping his mind off Minda and on his assignment. But even as he tries to convince Minda to sell her beloved building, Mark finds himself learning a thing or two about the power of faith ... and a whole lot about love!

Why the author wrote this book:

I love everything about Denver, Colorado, my home town. And like Minda McAllister, the lead character in my book, I love the downtown area, which its old buildings and colorful history. I really wanted to bring those elements to life in Minda McAllister, the lead character in my story.
