Eighteen years ago, Malcolm Douglas, was given a choice of
jail or military reform school. No choice at all. He left
town and the broken hearted Celia Patel. Now he returns and
this time he is PLAYING FOR KEEPS.
Malcolm comes back as a seven-time Grammy winning, platinum
selling soft rock star after hearing that she has been
receiving crank calls and strange notes. He may have been
separated from her but he has been keeping an eye on her.
As a sixteen year old Celia was hopelessly in love with
Malcolm but after everything fell apart she had been left
with not only a broken heart but a baby that she put up for
adoption. Now she is an independent adult with a full life
of her own, she doesn't need him back in her life. The past
is the past, it needs to stay that way and he needs to go
back where he belongs.
He has different plans. He's no longer a teen reaching for
a dream, a part of it is always putting him in the tabloid
headlines, but the other part always regretted leaving
Celia. Helping her find out the reason for the threat
against her will help appease the guilt, but he still wants
a question answered. Is what he felt for her all those
years ago only puppy love that he glorified or was his
first love meant to be his only true love?
PLAYING FOR KEEPS is an intriguing, heart touching story of
a first love gone wrong. The young couple got in over their
heads and the heartbreak they both endured is emotionally
realistic as is the struggle to accept that there might be
a chance for them to be together again. I love reading
everything author Catherine Mann writes and this one is
another winner.
In high school, Malcolm Douglas was a bad boy who stole the
heart of small-town girl Celia Patel�as well as her
virginity. But life pulled them apart …and just as
well, for
he'd already broken her heart.
Now Malcolm is a world-famous billionaire dedicated to
atoning for his sins. When he swoops back into Celia's
life, he tells himself he only wants to protect her from
recent threats. But the desire between them leaves them as
breathless as teenagers. Will Celia ever forgive him?
Maybe. If he can make today's pleasure erase yesterday's
pain
