An Unusual Therapy

Max and David agreed that it was going to be only for a month…

Max Cooper was a passive-aggressive therapist with a sordid secret and two ground rules: no second dates, and no falling in love.  

David Smith was as attractive as he was self-centered, and thought he was irresistible for any woman. Sadly, David was right, until Linda came into his way.

Life keeps moving. One day you’re thriving in your loneliness, and the next day you find yourself involved in a love triangle. 

It will take Max and David a month to realize that rules are made to be broken, and that life is full of choices that have to be made.
