Blue Beauty

Trey used a tour in the army and college to try to raise himself up from a life of poverty. Then he met a woman that seemed too good for him -- literature professor and harpist Dr. Myleigh Harris. She was easily the most talented, intelligent, awesome and complex woman that he'd ever had the chance to spend time with. Too much woman for him, perhaps too much woman for anyone. If any man ever did wind up with her, he'd have his hands full. Trey didn't think he wanted to be the one to try . . . but still, what a woman!

A reader wrote to the author: "There was a lot of soul searching, a few sub-plots and the anxiety of wondering whether Trey would find the courage to declare his love. I think the story matched the complexity of Myleigh's character and personality. I loved the way you brought the two of them together and the way the path to their future together was prepared by their friends. This really was a very fine story and an emotional one."
