Can I? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798287449018)

Milana Semien knows how it feels to be alienated and abandoned when she needs love and support the most. One decision made in the heat of the moment leads to events that are irreversible, leaving the family reeling from emotions of anger and grief. She's ostracized because of it, even by her own mother. Depression takes over, because she wants her relationships with her family members to be restored. In the midst of her sadness and self-reflection period, she meets the man she knows could possibly change her life, but she isn't sure if she will ever be able to give of herself again.

Game tester, Ferris Botley, knows what he wants and after meeting the rodeo princess, Milana Semien, he knows she's the one. He's smitten at first sight. He realizes she's young and lacks some maturity, but he's willing to endure it because he feels her heart. However, when her past is revealed, he doesn't know if he can get past it. Her reputation is tarnished, and the drama resulting from her actions is still in her present. Drama is a major turn off for him, but there's something about Milana he can't shake.

There are plenty of valid reasons why Ferris should walk away and not look back, but there are also plenty of reasons he should give Milana the love he knows she deserves. Milana is hoping she can convince Ferris that she's the woman he's supposed to be with, despite the drama that is out of her control. Will Milana melt the ice around Ferris's heart, or will he leave her and her drama for someone else to deal with?
