Hidden Intentions

Nya Gamden is thrilled to be accepted into the nursing program at Old Dominion University and, as an added bonus to good fortune, computer engineer Tory Sothers has stepped into her life, becoming the man of her dreams. Life is all that she'd imagined-love, happiness, and a budding career-until Tory asks her to give up her hopes and dreams for matrimony. Leaving her heart, and Tory, on the white sandy beaches of Hawaii, Nya is shattered and time is the only remedy that can heal her heart, as well as a new man. Darren Edmonds, a pillar of the community and well-respected businessman, wins Nya's trust and love, takes her on a whirlwind romance, and gives her the ultimate gift. However, Darren is keeping a secret and Nya's curiosity gets the best of her.

Upon the sudden and tragic death of his father, Tory's marital bliss comes to a halt. His wife, Nya, and his family members try to help Tory cope with the pain of losing his father, but instead of choosing to have his arms around Nya, Tory chooses to have his lips constantly around an alcohol bottle. Tory vanishes, and Nya looks for him with the help of local law enforcement and a hired private investigator. Unfortunately, no one turns up anything. After a while, Nya gives up hope of ever finding Tory. The thought of not knowing what happened to him will always be in the back of her mind, but it's time for her to move on. She meets a man named Vince Rappaport. Their talks turn into friendship, and the friendship turns into love. For the first time in a long time, Nya is happy to wake up in the morning. After years missing in action, Tory shows back up on her doorstep. He desperately wants to restore their crumbled marriage. Has he given up alcohol once and for all? Does she still love him? As her past confronts her future, what will Nya decide?
