This is a story for every woman who has a best friend...
Bailey Watters and Koralynn Mitchell consider themselves "sisters of the soul." Their circumstances growing up couldn't have been more different; Kora came from a wealthy, privileged family, while Bailey's home life was hard. They'd do anything for each other. "I'd give you a kidney," they always say. There are no secrets between them--until there's one secret Bailey can't share.
This is a story for every woman who's been in love.
Danny Brown is the only man Kora's ever wanted, ever loved, and her marriage seems as flawless as everything else in her life. Bailey, however, doesn't want a husband. She does want a baby--but only by IVF. And the perfect donor, the perfect biological father, would be a man like...Danny.
What happens when love and friendship collide?
Kora might be willing to give Bailey a kidney. But what about a baby?

They’re a team...not a couple!
Falling for Liam was unthinkable. He and Gabi had been best friends since college, nothing more. And crucially, now Liam was her client and needed her to be focused on his case. Gabi could never risk their friendship — or Liam’s freedom — over these feelings. They could never be a couple, anyway. He was Liam Connelly, the handsome and privileged son of a billionaire. She was Gabrielle Miller, the girl who’d fought her way out of poverty and put herself through law school. They were unlikely friends to begin with. Anything more was impossible. Unless...he felt it, too.

Guest Post:
I’ve always had an affinity with older people. When I was little, my favorite person, other
than my best friend, was my grandmother.
I’m told she had a stroke. And
that I was the one who spent countless hours with her, talking to her and
encouraging her to speak again. I’m told
that I’m the reason she did speak again.
I remember none of that. I
remember her. In great detail. I remember the times I spent with her. Spending the night with her. I got to sleep in her bed with her and that
was the best of all sleeps. I remember
the smell of her powder in her bathroom.
I remember conversations.
So many of them. And the cookies
she’d always have for me from the bakery in town. I remember her cooking only what I liked to
eat and telling me that when I was at her house I only had to eat what I
liked. Somehow I liked vegetables when I
was there.
I remember a voice that was shaky at times. I don’t remember questioning that. It was just part of her. Mostly I remember that she knew everything. She was calm and wise and kind. And that’s all I’ve ever wanted to be. I remember when I was in third grade and had
a crash on bicycle. I flew over the
handlebars and landed on my face. I was
concussed and had a broken jaw. My
grandmother came to visit. We went out
for my favorite food. Hamburgers. And I couldn’t open my mouth wide enough to
take one bite. My face was scraped up
and I was…as devastated as a third grader could be.
I remember my grandmother standing with me in front of the
bathroom mirror. Looking at my sorry
face. She smiled. And told me I was her little soldier. I wasn’t all that sure about a girl being a
soldier, but I’ve never forgotten the way I felt in that moment. My grandmother believed I had it in me to get
through this trauma. And so I did.
She was wise. A
wisdom born of years of living. Of
learning. Of knowing. She is the reason I have such an affinity for
the elderly. Because while their bodies
might be failing, they are the strongest of us all. The wisest of us all. They KNOW.
Because they’ve lived.
In Once Upon A Friendship, three friends buy an old
apartment building to prevent the elderly people who’ve been living there all
their lives from being put out on the street.
They had no idea what a bounty their investment would be to them in
terms of the gifts they’d get in return from the residents they’d saved. But I knew.
And I had a great time showing them what I knew.
