Summary

The city was buzzing with life as people hurried through the crowded streets, their faces hidden beneath umbrellas on this rainy afternoon. Amongst the sea of strangers, one person stood out—a young woman with a gentle smile and warm brown eyes.
Her name was Amelia Parker, a talented artist who had recently moved to the city to pursue her dreams. As she walked through the rain, she found solace in the vibrant colors of her surroundings. Amelia's artistic spirit sought inspiration in every corner, and she carried her sketchbook with her wherever she went.
Lost in her thoughts, Amelia accidentally bumped into a man, causing her to drop her sketchbook. As she bent down to retrieve it, their eyes met, and an unexpected spark ignited between them. His name was Ethan Bennett, a successful architect with a kind heart.

    A joyful and tender drama of one “family so richly drawn, so deep and complex,  
    that it contains the whole world” (Emma Straub), from beloved author Rebecca  
    Kauffman 
    A modern story of family, I’ll Come to You chronicles intersecting lives over the  
    course of one year—1995—anchored by the anticipation and arrival of a child.  
    With empathy, insight, and humor, Rebecca Kauffman explores overlapping  
    narratives involving a couple whose struggle to become pregnant has both  
    softened and hardened them; a woman whose husband of forty years has left her  
    for reasons he’s unwilling to share and the man who is now disastrously  
    attempting to woo her; and a couple in denial about a looming health crisis as well  
    as their son who is fumbling toward middle age and can’t stop lying. Ultimately,  
    these storylines converge into a dramatic and harrowing turn of events. With  
    heart, wit, and courage, and through pain, these characters traverse territory that  
    both challenges and defines the bonds of family. 
    “I’ll Come to You is a deft, engrossing novel, full of subtle humor and compassion.  
    In scenes as precise and intimate as lighted windows on a dark street, Rebecca  
    Kauffman explores those everyday encounters and accidents that can loom so  
    large they overwhelm a life.”—Sofia Samatar, author of Opacities: On Writing and  
    the Writing Life

    She was a temptation he couldn’t afford, but letting her go was not an option. 
    Marat was the face of Volkov Industries. With his movie star good looks, he attracted class and money to the multi-billion dollar corporation, not to mention all the right PR. But being born with the face of an angel had its disadvantages. Expected to entertain associates, Marat’s activities were anything but celestial. And yes, it was exhausting. 
    Sent on an errand to Sin City in the name of business, Marat needed a diversion. The curvy goddess serving drinks was exactly what this playboy billionaire craved. He was not looking for forever, but some temptations were too good to let go. 
    Destiny Valdez ran away to Vegas as a teen with her head full of dreams. A dozen years later, those dreams were dust. Pulling a double shift with her slimy boss giving her a hard time was not how she’d planned to spend her birthday.  
    But that was life. 
    She never expected a proposition from one of the most handsome men she’d ever seen. Daring her to take what she wanted, Marat Volkov presented the type of opportunity she only ever fantasized about. A night in his bed sounded exactly like what she needed. Waking up married? Not so much. 
    She thought he was playing, but keeping his curvy Dumplin’ was a wild temptation he could not resist.

I sure as hell didn't think I'd end up losing my virginity to him!  Lucky it's noisy in here, because I'm not sure I can stay quiet much longer as Coach Vargas pumps it in my sex and my ass for the first time ever!
