The Master Orchestrator — K.R. Bankston

Jared and Morgan Piper have a wonderful marriage. They're in love and happily planning to expand their family. Jared's best friend, Brian Holbrook, is a man on a mission. He's focused, driven, and determined never to let another woman hurt him the way, Shonna, his ex, had. Trinity Sorenson, best-selling author and Morgan's best-friend is dealing with hurt of her own in the loss of her husband, Michael, the love of her life to a fatal car accident. Hoping to bring them together, Jared and Morgan secretly arrange a chance encounter during a Magic's home game.
To Morgan's chagrin, there are no sparks. Disappointed she begins to plot new ways to bring the two together, convinced they are destined. Jared knows his friend Brian very well. He's seen something his wife missed and believes Brian is more than a little interested in Trinity, but knows he's slower than molasses to make a move. Which one is right? Are the two really perfect for each other, or will they simply be two ships passing in the night?
