!!!NOT FULL VERSION!!! Life rarely goes the way you'd expect. Death however, never does. Melody Adler; daughter, mother, widow. She was a woman of many words, and even more talents, a kind soul who strived for the very best at every turn. She longed to one day move her mother and daughter out of her rundown apartment, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Unfortunately, none of that matters. Because she's dead. Melody woke up in the middle of an empty field, left with nothing but her new diary, her memories, a whole lot of questions and no one to ask them to. At first she couldn't tell if she was in hell or heaven. Then she met Her. And it all went down hill from there. ___________________________________________ This is my second draft of this book and I am currently in the process of self publishing it! So fair warning to any new or current readers, I'm leaving the full version on here for a while, but I am going to be taking most of it down soon, most likely mid to late July!!!! So get it while it's hot!! Hot meaning free! Please feel free to correct any grammar mistakes, or give general advice on writing, promoting, or on how to write a better description. Thanks for reading!

When your girlfriend gives you a gym membership for your birthday, your relationship is probably doomed. Too bad Jenny didn't realize this before proposing. Rejection stings, but it's the catalyst Jenny needs to move her stagnant life forward. For Juliana, well-padded women frequenting the gym she works at are potential clients. But she can't help noticing how cute this one is. And determined. And a number of other things she shouldn't notice. She doesn't, however, want to be attracted to gym clients, so she does her best to keep it professional. If only her attraction to the woman would do the same. Open Novella Contest (ONC) entry - Prompt #61: After being jilted, you move to the city to hide your embarrassment, lick your wounds, and start afresh.
