Chance Worth Taking - Paperback

by Lorinda Faye (Author)

If you were given the chance, would you take it?

She agreed to carry a child for a price. She didn't expect to fall in love with the baby... or the man who would change everything.

Emily never expected her escape plan to unravel so quickly. What started as a surrogacy deal meant to fund a fresh start ends in betrayal when her father steals the money... and worse, when the wealthy couple who hired her discover the baby has Down Syndrome and demand to terminate the pregnancy... Emily runs.

Pregnant and desperate, she flees across the country and lands in a quiet Bed and Breakfast run by a guy her age named Reader and his older caretaker Lily. What begins as refuge turns into something deeper as Reader opens his heart and his shelves of poetry and books to her.

But love is never simple. Emily is carrying more than just secrets. She's carrying the weight of a past she doesn't fully understand. And some truths are still waiting to be revealed... including the mystery of her mother's death and a family connection that's far closer than she realizes.

Chance Worth Taking is a story about found family, fierce love, and the chance we give ourselves when everything else falls apart.
