Hesitation Marks

By Tracy Broemmer

Dakota Drew came back to Lorelei Bluffs last year to lick her wounds in the face of failure. However, not even the idyllic city of Lorelei Bluffs was enough to soothe Dakota's anger and self-hatred, and she continued her battle for self-punishment with drinking and one-night stands that sometimes lasted a night or two longer, but never offered her love or respect. Now, Dakota has hit rock bottom and she's living with her parents, and though she attends AA meetings and she is also seeing a psychiatrist to help her navigate the self-loathing she is drowning in, every day is still a battle with Jack Daniels, her self-esteem, and her parents. Determined to accept what happened to her the year before and determined to take responsibility for her decisions, Dakota begins to open up to the people she knows care about her. It isn't until Dakota meets Chase Johnson, good-looking, hard-working, all around good guy, that she realizes how much she needed a friend. Determined to hold Chase at arm's length, Dakota finds herself drawn into his circle of friends and loved ones, and soon realizes, she's in much too deeply to back out, to save her heart from any possibility of being broken again. Can Chase and his friends lure Dakota back to the fun-loving, trusting and happy woman she used to be? Can Dakota make herself and her family believe she and Chase are only friends, that she's vowed never to fall in love because it will only break her heart?
