Vying For Vivian E-BOOK

Climax Creek is a small, quaint town situated between Greensboro and Sanford in North Carolina. Bordered by I-85 and three North Carolina state highways, it's occupied by less than sixteen hundred people. Climax Creek is the kind of town where you won't find a Starbucks, but you can get a great cup of coffee from Paulina down at Cool Beans. Watch out for Paulina- she'll talk your ear off if you let her. Down at Phipps Pharmacy, Quinn Phipps has got a cure for whatever might be ailing you. Say the wrong thing to your significant other? Minnie Hughes has got an "apology special" running down at her flower shop- she'll fix you up. Feel the need for some spiritual guidance? Climax Creek has four churches- take you pick. If you're looking for something fancy and pretentious, this isn't the place. But if you're looking for a little Southern comfort, the kind that you can't get out of a bottle, then stop on by.

A Family Wedding... 
As her brother's wedding approaches, Vivian Dunn is swamped. Between her course work toward completing her master's degree, teaching undergraduate students, and being a bridesmaid, she's spread pretty thin. When her best friend invites her over for a little R&R before the festivities, she's looking forward to taking the break she desperately needs. 

A Growing Passion 
Wesley Oaks has been friends with Vivian since their days in undergrad. Now, as he works toward his certification to go into private practice as a therapist, and juggles his day job helping disadvantaged youth, he finds he has less and less time to spend with her. Still, his feelings for her have changed, and he wants more than her friendship- he wants all of her. 

A Shocking Admission 
Vivian is floored by Wesley's declarations of love. What she thought was going to be a quiet weekend with her best friend becomes much more complex. She looks at Wesley with new eyes, and feels a spark of desire burning inside her. Her body says "Yes", but her mind has so many doubts. The stakes are high- both their hearts and a cherished friendship are on the line. Can this be real, or will it only lead to loss and heartache?
