Trust in Me — Alice Wootson

Linda Durard had fallen for the wrong man, and it had cost her everything. Now, she's been given a chance to start over by working with inner-city kids at a neighborhood community center. But first she has to earn the trust--and respect--of Avery Washington, the center's charismatic owner.

A former pro football player , Avery came home to Philadelphia to give something back. Opening a youth center is an opportunity for him to help the community--and the answer to a lifelong dream. Hiring computer specialist Linda Durard fulfills a very difference kind of need...and soon awakened his most powerful desires.

Like Linda, Avery is struggling to heal a painful wound from his past--one that seems to be getting in the way of their relationship. Now Linda and Avery are both beginning to wonder if they can truly believe in each other. The only chance they have is if they entrust their hearts to a love taken on faith...and meant to last forever.
