Excerpt
Left on her own, Holly roamed from room to room in the stylish townhome. Everything from the hardwood flooring to the wainscoting and artistic lighting was impeccably melded to showroom quality—not a coaster or pillow out of place. She tipped a moody-looking print by famed British Columbian artist and author, Emily Carr, just to see how long it took for their parents to notice. Who was she kidding? Her mom would see it the moment she walked through the door.
The perfect precision of the home was an echo of the stiffness between her parents. They’d never been exuberant with their affections, but this was different. Cold. Clinical.
Holly felt as though she was wandering through an alternate universe. One filled by betrayal and divorce. While she’d been pursuing a career, her family had imploded. And the worst part; no one had thought to call her. Over-sensitive or not, it felt like she’d been disowned, and it hurt.
At the end of the hall, she pressed a hand against the door to her father’s sanctuary—his office. Many evenings she and Susan would sit at his feet and listen enthralled while he regaled them with tales of pirates and princesses, mischievous elves and buried treasure. As with every good fairytale, a dashing hero would arrive just in time to save the day. It was probably then, listening to stories at her father’s knee, that Holly began to dream of her own hero. He’d need to be strong enough to slay dragons. Charming and kind, yet able to make her laugh. Handsome and gentle; a father as perfect as her own. A good kisser; that’s as far as her nine-year-old mind would go at the time. And above all else, someone she could talk to, share ideas with.
Even then, she’d known the value of a true friend.
The rattle of a key in the front door lock jerked her back to the moment. Self-conscious, she dropped her hand from where it had been resting and turned to greet her parents.
Except it wasn’t her mother and father.
Susan hesitated on the threshold, their gazes fusing across the distance. A cold draft knifed its way between them filled with ugly words and betrayals.
Holly was the first to break free. She waded through the debris of the past, a plastic smile on her lips and went to meet her sister. “Great minds think alike. I’d planned on stopping by your house this morning until Mother informed me you have a life.”
Something cynical flashed in Susan’s blue eyes before she stepped in and closed the door, sucking the fresh air out of the entry. “She called and suggested I get over here and straighten out our differences.” She held her hands out in mock supplication. “So here I am, sister. Take your best shot.”

Shouldn’t be too hard, right?
