"Okay," Ann nodded, tears streaming down her face. "Grandma has abandoned me, my mother is gone… Thank goodness I still have you, Tammie. Otherwise, I don't know what I would do."
She knew exactly how to play him. Tammie was a self-important fool, and a few well-placed words were all it took to make him feel like her savior. She was homeless now, her only savings from a sold necklace. She had to cling to Tammie; he was her only ticket to maintaining the lifestyle she was accustomed to.
As expected, her words hit their mark. "Don't ever say that again, Ann," he said, his voice softening. "We're family. We've both been cast aside, so we have to stick together."
She looked up at him, her eyes shining with gratitude. "You're so good to me, Tammie." She then added, a thoughtful look on her face, "Do you think Miss Palmer really doesn't like you anymore? I remember she used to be so different." Celia used to be utterly obsessed with him, willing to do anything to win his affection.
Tammie's eyes narrowed. "Celia has always been fickle and strange. A woman like that could never be devoted to just one person." He cursed himself for ever believing her affection was genuine. To her, he was just a toy to be discarded when she grew bored. Her feelings were worthless.
Ann feigned innocence, her eyes wide. "Tammie, don't say that. Freya wouldn't be the type to gossip behind people's backs."
"If not her, then who?" he shot back, his anger rising. "Who else would do something so shameless?" Mark his words, Caitlin would be the ruin of the Gonzales family name.

Can you please publish another novel - sorry for your loss, its me am the loss...
So happy for Carey, the reunion with her family is touching. Can we read more of Caitlin and Gordon? Readers are forgetting that Caitlin has a boyfriend by the way. Is it normal for their relationship to be erased in the storyline?...
Update please......
But where is Gordon?...
Great story, great author!...
