War and Love

When Jude Warner first walked into my life, he was just some handsome stranger in an expensive suit offering me a quarter for the fountain outside my apartment.

A moment later I discovered he was my neighbor, both of us new to the building.

Then he was the knight in shining armor who rescued my place from a late-night plumbing fiasco. The prince charming who offered me refuge and ice cream during a storm-fueled power outage. The bona fide saint who volunteered to accompany me to my crazy sister’s wedding back in North Carolina.

Falling for him was easy.

Finding out who he really was? Devastating.

They say when something’s too good to be true, it probably is.

I vowed to never forgive him after I learned the truth …

… and then he dropped a bombshell on me that changed everything.
