The Rogue Trust (e-book) (used book) | Deanne Durrett | bookbook.eu

Description

The unexpected beneficiary to a trust fund created to honor a Vietnam war hero, Becca McGee struggles with the changes sudden wealth will bring to her ordinary life and its influence on her twelve-year-old daughter. Facing a challenge to her faith, she's bombarded by questions she can't answer. And, her common sense seems to have vanished. The lawyer retained to settle the trust proves himself a jerk, acts like a stalker, and appears to be an impostor. When someone prematurely leaks the details of the trust to the press, steals her cat, and threatens her daughter... he's her prime suspect. Still, she finds him incredibly attractive. J.T. Harrison's plans to practice family law are derailed when a large firm offers him a position in its probate department. Fresh out of law school and studying for the bar, he can't refuse the income. Now he's a political hire moonlighting for his rich uncle, well paid for doing menial tasks-delivering manila envelopes and overseeing floral deliveries. But why is his elderly uncle secretly sending yellow roses to a woman half his age who could easily steal J.T.'s heart? As the story unfolds, an old man's obsession mixes romance with a touch of suspense and mystery as it threatens every aspect of Becca McGee's life. J.T. must settle the Rogue Trust while his ailing uncle still lives. Becca has stolen J.T.'s heart, but she's quick to condemn. And, with his knack for falling victim to circumstantial evidence, it seems unlikely that J.T. can settle the trust or win Becca's hand.
