Legless in Seabrook

Neither Jade nor Jason had expected to run into the other on the last night of a poorly-reviewed and curtain-dropping play in some out-of-the-way community theater. And especially not in such embarrassing circumstances when Jade, driving a wheelchair, needed help in the handicapped non-friendly bathroom - and like, right now!

Jade had sworn-off men, perhaps forever after her bad marriage was finally over several years ago.

Jason had no interest in women, not after that really dysfunctional relationship a half-dozen years before. They were simply too much trouble for him to cope with.

How a relationship started from such mortifying circumstances was a wonder to both of them, but how it lasted and grew ever stronger when the obstacles began to mount, starting with an ill-fated Gulf cruise, was an honest-to-goodness miracle.
