Once Upon a Love Story — Beth D. Carter

Caleb Tasker lost his wife to cancer, but it took him a long time to put her memory to rest. Deciding he needs a vacation, he accepts the gracious invitation of living in his friend's Malibu home for an overdue holiday. Delilah Ward grew up in rural Mississippi and ran away when she was sixteen, moving to Los Angeles with thoughts of being anything but the person she was born to be. But reality settled in quickly, and the bright lights of Hollywood soon faded into the dark abyss of dancing on a darkened platform. Caleb is used to love being easy and Delilah is used to fighting against everything. They have nothing in common except a wildfire attraction that won't let go of them. But when tough choices need to be made, will they both be able to be honest to what they really want?
