Helena's Grove Series

Jennifer Berkley is a straightforward, ambitious, soon-to-be lawyer in the fast, driven city of New York. She doesn’t have the time or patience to deal with people who can’t or won’t give her what she wants. When her father asks her to visit her aunt in Ohio as her last dying wish, Jen is immediately resistant, but reconsiders when her father makes her an offer she can’t refuse.

Annie LaFaye is a small-town girl going to college in the big world. She’s talkative, polite, fun, and…single. She dreads going to the holiday dinners by herself, until her roommate suggests something that’s so outside Annie’s comfort zone that it just might work!

Jennifer Berkley and Zack LaFaye have been leading busy, on-the-go lives. With work and school filling their time, their relationship ends up taking a back seat. Zack finally decides to take matters into his own hands when he asks Jen a question she doesn’t know how to answer. Tensions flare and personalities collide as each person tries to discover their true feelings in the situation. What they find is they both have very different viewpoints, and it isn’t clear whether they can bridge that massive gap.
