Waiting a Lifetime - Michele E. Gwynn

. .

Résumé :
From the moment he laid eyes on her, he knew she was the one. But fate had other plans. Wade Walker's life was meticulously mapped out: earn a law degree, marry his high school love, and lead an ideal life. But life doesn't always go according to plan. Betrayal was about to derail Wade's well-laid plans, and he would soon discover that he'd been on autopilot heading in the wrong direction. Melissa Ryan had never been in love. A car accident that robbed her of the full use of her legs left the grown woman too shy to date. Melissa spent her time building up her photography business, but despite all efforts to avoid men, one still found his way to her front door. Wade knew his best buddy's sister was shy. Hell, she ran to her room every time he came around. He'd barely gotten a look at her, but when she came into Pelican's Market, the opportunity to say hello presented itself, and he took full advantage. There was something special about this quiet girl, and not even her crutches could take away from the fact that she was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. For the first time in years, Wade felt alive and excited about a future he had not planned. But a devastating secret threatens their newfound happiness, setting actions into motion with cosmic consequences. Will their love survive fate's cruel twist? (Waiting a Lifetime is a sweet, New Adult romance with a mystical twist. Previously released as a short story, and now rewritten as a novel with the ending it always deserved.)...
