Book Description
Alexa, Emily, and Roxanne are three different women who share one thing in common: they all distrust love. As a child, Alexa witnesses the brutal murder of her mother by her alcoholic father, and then suffers incest and rape, perpetuated by her uncle and strangers. Maturing with an impenetrable shell, Alexa becomes the CEO and founder of a multi-million dollar company where she treats everyone with disdain, and seeks gratification through sexually demeaning encounters with men. Alexa's assistant, Emily, vows to focus on her career and avoid love at all costs, since her parents instilled in her that the sole purpose of love is to marry for money. Alexa's personal stylist, Roxanne, fights her own battle with trust and love, manifested through poor relationships because of her father's abandonment. As the three women travel down the path of their own destinies, combating issues of trust, a murder plot is revealed. Who wants one of the women dead? Follow the intriguing drama, set against a backdrop of passion, jealously, adoration, and betrayal in A Love I Can Trust.

Judy Lee’s life has not turned out the way she’d imagined. She’s divorced, she’s broke, and her dreams of being a painter have fallen by the wayside. Her co-worker Roger might be a member of the Yakuza gang, but he’s also the only person who’s asked her on a date in the last year. Meanwhile, her bother Kevin, an former professional tennis player, has decided to donate a kidney to their ailing father — until it turns out that he’s not a genetic match. His father reluctantly tells him he was adopted, but the only information Kevin is given about his birth parents is a nude picture of his birth mother. Ultimately Kevin’s quest to learn the truth about his biological parents takes him across lines he never thought he’d cross: from tony Princeton to San Francisco’s seedy Tenderloin district, from the squeaky clean tennis court to the gritty adult film industry. Told in alternating chapters from the points of view of Judy and Kevin, Love Love is a story about two people figuring out how to live, how to love, and how to be their best selves amidst the chaos of their lives.
