Price of Compassion

Feeling strangely connected to a man broken in a suspicious climbing accident, Ginny reached out offering anonymous support. His struggles gave her courage to reach for dreams of her own. Her plans derailed when the kind, struggling man she'd imagined turned into a ruthless millionaire hell bent on ferreting out the person he suspected of leaking his medical information to the press, and she lost her job and her home.

Tech wizard Donovan McDermitt longed for the simpler days when he could pursue his interests without a board of directors hovering over his every move, and was in the final stages of selling his business when a rock climbing incident threatened to change everything. The sweet, anonymous letters he received were a far cry from the financially-motivated concern of his board of directors and helped him focus on his physical recovery.

When the letters stopped and rumors appeared in the paper, threatening to derail the merger, he pursued the letter writer with a singular focus fueled by feelings of betrayal.

What he found was not a sophisticated woman leveraging her knowledge of his accident to her advantage, but a woman whose life was crashing around her in her small southern town, a woman who felt her compassion and empathy for others was her greatest weakness, and something she dearly regretted offering to him. She had no idea what her compassion meant to him, but was about to find out that there was no taking back the comfort she extended to him, and that compassion had a price.
