That Shadoe... she's the perfect girl!
Abby Smith was your average high school tomboy, tall and gruff with a head full of fiery red hair. So what could trouble such self-reliant young woman? How about her best friend Cindy who's insistent on her getting a boyfriend? Yet Abby can't connect with anyone Cindy sets her up with. Then one day Cindy uncovers the reason. “Oh, my God! You're gay!”
For anyone else that would be a problem, but for Abby's family that was completely and utterly unacceptable. So she'd better be positive. But how does one know for sure? You need a test, of course.

Yet deep below this aggressive facade lies another dimension, a deeper dimension that Shine refuses to acknowledge, one that will ultimately force her to reevaluate her life. The trigger to her crisis is the arrival of Abby Smith to her school, a tall, red headed Texan would-be soldier who instantly steals Shine's heart. Through Abby, she rediscovers her capacity to love, and at the same time matures to see her past actions in a whole new light. But Abby's been hurt before, and when she learns of Shine's true nature, she severs the relationship.
Together with her crew and gay counterpart, Rudy, Shine must figure out how to prove to Abby that her feelings are genuine before the wreckage of her noxious past returns with a vengeance to destroy her future.

Meeting Erin Ingram was a delight and a surprise to author Kate McCall. Better yet, there seemed to be an attraction. Getting to know her she was thrilled at their relationship as it developed. Her own career as a successful novelist made her more than equal for the talented Ms. Ingram. Will announcing their relationship to the public destroy their love, their careers, or their blended families?
