Love Me Gently

At eighteen years old, Katrina “Trina” Mills had dreams far larger than her small mountain town in North Carolina. Bound and determined to become the next world-famous model, she left everything she knew and everyone she loved, behind to get it.

Turns out, her dreams took her on a path toward a nightmare. Sure, she had her time on the runway, and for a moment her body was plastered all over the cover of every fashion magazine in the world. But there’d been a cost…

She'd sold her soul for her dreams, and she was still paying for it.

Now, miserably married and living in Georgia, the regrets she has are longer and much larger, than the zeros in her bank account. She doesn’t know if she’ll ever be able to get out of the mess she created, but she certainly remembers how it started.

It all comes crashing back when run-in with her former boyfriend sends her world spiraling into a disaster she never quite prepared for.

Forced to confront her past, her present, and all the decisions she made in between, she’s no longer sure a future is worth the pain.

Fortunately, Trina has a long list of people who have never given up on her, never stopped hoping she’d return, and with her family, old friends, and even her old flame at her side… she starts to believe she can actually do this.

Until her husband shows up in town and threatens to tear it all away….
