An investigation into Bruce Pomeroy’s finances revealed his massive debt from gambling and living beyond his already considerable means. She couldn’t imagine Frank’s pain,
knowing his only son had cherished money more than human life.
“You have your mother’s eyes.” His hand trembled as he fingered the ends of her blonde hair. “And her hair color, so light.”
Cocking her head, she asked, “You remember her, my mother?”
“Vaguely, more now that I’ve seen you. There were a lot of women in those days,” he answered with blunt honesty. “I was a different man back then, and I’m paying the price for my selfish ways now. Growing old alone is…” He swallowed and blinked watery eyes. “Hard, very hard.”
Broken. That was the word that came to Lisa’s mind as she looked at the once-selfish man who had sired her. She didn’t hate him, couldn’t if she tried, and for the first time since hearing about him, she let herself feel compassion for him .
“I can’t change that for you, but, for starters, why don’t you get involved with worthwhile projects, charities that could use your contributions?”
His shoulders slumped. “You’re so generous, where my son, my son…how did I go so wrong with him?”
Lisa stood, laying a hand on his shoulder. “I plan to return to Phoenix every few months. If you want, I’ll make time to come by and stay longer.”
Gratitude suffused his lined face. “I would like that. At least now I know I accomplished one decent thing in my life…I had you.”
Lisa found her own way out and stepped into the bright Arizona sunshine with a lighter heart. Walking toward her future, she thought it had never looked more promising.

About BJ Wane
I live in the Midwest with my husband and our Goldendoodle. I love dogs, enjoy spending time with my daughter, grandchildren, reading and working puzzles.
We have traveled extensively throughout the states, Canada and just once overseas, but I now much prefer being homebody.
I worked for a while writing articles for a local magazine but soon found my interest in writing for myself peaking.
My first book was strictly spanking erotica, but I slowly evolved to writing steamy romance with a touch of suspense. My favorite genre to read is suspense.
I love hearing from readers. Feel free to contact me at mailto:bjwane@cox.net with questions or comments.
