True Love?
With rising water all around her, Jacey makes it to a rooftop and is helped on by others also caught in the flood. Her roof-mates consist of Colin, a young man close to her age, along with the Jackson family—mom Lilian, and her three children. Over the next few days Jacey builds strong ties with all of them. Colin and she connect so strongly that Jacey truly believes he is the one!
At long last rescue comes, however, Colin’s contact information is somehow lost. After a year of searching without results, Jacey doesn’t think she will see Colin again. But suddenly, the couple is reunited in a very surprising way. Even more shocking is Collin’s occupation. Despite the deep connection the two shared during the flood, things are not as easy now.
At the same time, Jacey is distressed to discover that Lilian and her youngest son died 
during the rescue. Desperate to find the other two children, Jacey is heart-broken to find the situation they are now in.
Are Jacey and Colin ever going to have a relationship, or was their interest in each other artificially heightened because of the danger they were in? Will Jacey be able to make sure the Jackson children have the “happily ever after” life she would love for them to have? Has Colin been stringing Jacey along while he has another girl on the side?
