Before you turn the page I humbly ask you as a reader to open your mind. This is a story of unlikely love that grows like a wild flower in the meadow. This is not just simply another Twilight type novel based loosely on loves ideals. This is a story about a man and a woman who defy all odds for their love. Two lovers who give up all that they are, all that they once were to be together. Annabelle McKinley is a twenty-five-year-old woman, she seemingly has everything and that is what makes her vulnerable. Annabelle’s father is a wealthy well known attorney currently working a case that could end drug smuggling in the city of Buffalo. Annabelle straying off her fathers path now works with abused children in a social services office on the east side of Niagara Falls. She still attends fancy parties and receives anything she desires and more from her wealthy father, though what she is lacking is purpose. Sometimes as she shuffles through files on her desk she allows herself to dream, she dreams of a sun kissed beach in the arms of a man that loves her. Love is something Annabelle has not felt from the time she was a child. No doubt her father loved her, but with all his work they barely said more than a hello to each other anymore. Annabelle had lost her mother years ago, she had died exactly five years after giving birth to her one and only daughter. Annabelle remembers the day she lost her mother as if it was just yesterday. It was her fifth birthday and she sat hours waiting for her mother to arrive when the phone rang and her life changed. Annabelle’s mother died in a car accident. A tractor-trailer driver had fallen asleep at the wheel and slammed into the side of her mothers car, she died instantly. A kind hearted EMT had been able to retrieve Annabelle’s birthday gift from her mother. A plush rabbit the broken hearted five-year-old had named it peter after the fable her mother would read her before bed. Now Annabelle lives day to day at her office job in the city hoping to help as many children as she possibly can. Little does she know her life is about to change forever.
