Destiny by Design. Michelli Family Ties
- Sherry Crandell


“I see you remember our very first meeting.”

She slipped her sunglasses on. “I remember. Good-bye, Mr. Michelli.”

Franco grinned. “Clearly, you didn’t make a very good first impression, brother.”

Diego lifted an eyebrow. “At least I made an impression that she couldn’t forget.”

When Trish is dragged along to mingle with Tabitha’s new boss and his family, she is introduced to a strangely familiar man with rogue good looks and unknowingly reopens part of her life that she long ago left behind.

His green eyes lured Trish in, but what about the man behind them? Diego Michelli, the charming grandson of Tabitha’s boss who holds all of Dallas in his hands, is far from the kind of Christian man she was looking for. She was trying to distance herself from her own family’s bad reputation, not join another one. Especially after the frightening experience that still haunts her dreams, Trish is hesitant to jump into Diego’s world.

It will take all of the faith, prayer, and patience Trish can muster as she straddles the line between the Michelli family and everyone else. Will Trish overcome her fears and learn to trust Diego? Or will Diego’s past prove too strong of a pull for him to leave behind?
