One Step Closer

Clara Montgomery's life was all she dreamed it could be in every way except where the heart was concerned. She had a good job and a tight knit circle of friends that fill the roles of her parents who were killed when she was young. However, already in her thirties, Clara is ready to settle down and live happily ever after with the man she loves. If only life was that easy. There's just one HUGE problem. The man Clara loves has no idea. Jason McAllister, Clara's childhood and lifelong friend, is oblivious to the torch being carried for him even though Clara is every bit as important to him as he is to her. After a disastrous attempt at moving on, Clara unintentionally confides her feelings to Jason and the two friends take their friendship several levels beyond and find happiness beyond either of their imaginations. Of course, no fairy tale is without a little tragedy.
