A Complicated Gamble

by Toni Carter

Heather is 37 year old, confident, business woman, who is looking for love. She has a loving family and her parents are about to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. After drinking far too much champagne at the celebrations, she finds the inner Heather, that is not afraid to speak out. This is unfortunately accompanied by serious repercussions. She also takes a complicated gamble, spurred on by none other than Andrew Daniel.

Andrew Daniel is a confident, sophisticated man, who enjoys working Heather into a state. A family friend and neighbour for many years, Andrew is someone that Heather would rather not see ever again. She despises him and all the things he did to her when they were younger. She is determined to prove him wrong and win herself a husband.

Heather decides to do something stupid when she is drunk and ends up making a bet with Andrew, about who she will marry. Unfortunately things are not that straight forward and Heather finds herself choosing over a few men.

Taking a two week trip to two different countries, could help her decide. A week in California, with a visit to the wine region and a week in Bangkok, with a romantic beach visit, could finally lead her to her ultimate love?
