THE Ultimate Bond

Dr. Parker Spears has an innate ability to help people through his bestselling novels, but even being equipped with a doctorate in psychology, he can’t diffuse his personal, tormenting challenges…the unexpected death of his close friend, Jody Bond, the stagnant relationship with his sister, Jeannie, and the tumultuous entanglement with his ex-fiancé, Clarissa Raines.
Upon the recommendation of his close friend, Mark Windham, he hires a former school district employee, Julia Browning, as his temporary house manager to prepare his home on Kiawah Island, South Carolina, to be put on the market for sale. With Julia’s presence, his world changes. The smiles, laughter, and joy return to Parker’s life as he silently regards her as his mentor. He is somewhat annoyed that Julia rarely reveals any personal information, and what he does eventually discover is astonishing and by chance. His insatiable appetite to learn more about her is coupled with his deep, mounting feelings. Since he believes he is an expert on reading people, he’s confident it’s a one-sided love story. Right before the perfect opportunity arises to confess his love to Julia, Parker discovers shocking truths about her history, which put an abrupt spin on their relationship. His chaotic days reappear, and he wonders if his life will ever be the same again.
