About Loving Goldie by Debra Elise:
GOLDIE
So, I’ve got problems, but who doesn’t, right?
There might not be 99 of them, but enough to keep me in semi-permanent fight-or-flight mode by: Searching for a loser ex who doesn’t want to be found; watching my only child fight, then thankfully beat cancer; and suffering in silence for years with endometriosis.
That last one has kept me from living life to the fullest and giving my daughter what she’s always wanted: a family.
Then, at the exact right time, things may finally go my way. After leaving almost every job I’ve ever had out of boredom, I’ve landed a new position that could finally be the one.
But there’s a problem (yeah, I know, because of course there is, right?)
It’s a six-three, nerdishly sexy problem who thinks I’m the one. But I’m not looking for love, just a job that finally challenges me and has a great health plan.

Work is crazy.
My family is crazier.
And my personal life? I’m not going to lie, it’s been pretty dull and a bit lonely, okay, a lot lonely.
I tell my friends I don’t have time for love. But what I haven’t told anyone, especially my mom or my nosy cousins, is that I’m a romantic at heart. I know the one is out there.
And at 42, I may have just hired the woman of my dreams.
Convincing her proves challenging.
She says she’s broken and not interested in love, but all I see are her perfect imperfections.
So, don’t worry, I enjoy a good challenge.

There are numerous ways to differentiate one person from the next. Hair or eyes color, personality, sense of humor, and so forth. For some, it’s a medical diagnosis.
While that can be life-altering, it also doesn’t define you. However, it can shake you, change you, shape you. But our core remains-the need for acceptance, love.
We’re here to give those that are perfectly imperfect their beautiful, heartwarming happily ever afters.
