Stolen Moments

There was just something about them, about the couple in the picture. An ad for a caregiver for a beautiful woman a woman who was dying. Though Melia’s sass and rough-around-the-edges attitude meant she couldn’t take every job out there, she should’ve been able to handle this one.
There was a problem though a big one. The dying woman’s husband, Luka. Those brilliant, haunted eyes of his… did something to her. They were the kind of eyes a girl had no defense against. Falling for a man she could never have and should never have was simply wrong, no matter how right she knew it would be. Sure, she needed the pay… but there was a whole lot more at stake here than money.
For Luka, life had become one thing waiting. For a cure, for a miracle, for the end. With one look at the gorgeous Melia, he allowed himself the one thing he’d never allowed himself to feel, not since that final diagnosis. Hope.
Could this crazy plan really work though? Would Melia be able give Luka this one last wish, something more profound, more precious than he ever deserved?
The one thing that none of them were prepared for though, was that love and the selfless giving of that love could come at a terrible cost… to the heart and the soul.
