Sheri isn’t one to shy away from a challenge and she has a big one on her hands with her brother, Pat. When things worsen with Pat, she is forced to swallow her pride and enlist Link to help her, the two put aside their bickering and work together. Tensions and emotions reach epic heights.
Sheri can’t seem to commit to anything solid with sexy and attentive Drew even when he makes it clear he wants her by his side. But something is missing. A spark? Seething hatred perhaps? Is the hatred between her and Link merely a mask for passion and longing? Dive into Sheri’s journey to see if she gets her happily ever after.
