Rose in Bloom - Paperback

by E. J. Swanson (Author)

Samantha Sinclair had stability. She had a stimulating job in the library, wonderful friends, and the complete independence she had yearned for throughout her teenage years. Little did she realize that there was a gaping hole in her life hiding just below the surface just waiting to reveal itself and ignite a desire that would send her out into a different world. One day a stranger in the library takes a subtle but persistent interest in her. Her curiosity overrides her trepidation and she agrees to meet him, not realizing that he will be the catalyst that turns her world upside-down. At that fateful meeting she gets more than she planned on and the smoldering temptress within comes out to play. Now unleashed Sam blossoms into the bold, confident woman she was destined to be. She returns to school and begins exploring her world through new eyes. A few short years transform her from library shut-in to sophisticated world traveler. The people she meets and the lessons she learns give her glimpses of what it will take to fill that empty space that a few short years earlier she had not known existed. She comes to realize that fulfillment in life is multiplied when shared and engages in a search for someone to share hers with until at long last she finds love in the most unusual of places.
