Staying With You

If you’ve never had someone put you first, are you able to trust it when it
happens?

Kristine Lanson
Kristine started taking care of the people in her life from the time she was small. Prioritizing her own needs is so foreign to her it would never cross her mind. She’s taken care of her parents, her sister, her yoga studio—to the point where her worries pile up. Then a guy she met almost a year ago returns and shows her what it’s like when someone looks out for you.

James Murphy
Murph has been on his own since he was three. Traded from foster home to group home—never harmed but never loved. After losing his passion for his job with the Colorado Hotshots, Murph is adrift and looking for what comes next. He returns to Highland Falls where a former crew member lives, as does a woman he hasn’t been able to get off his mind. As he steps up to take care of Kristine after an injury, James starts to question his plans. Mainly, is he trying to leave before being left?
