For My Heart And Mind (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798896750048)

Deserted, disowned, cast out, and deprived of her pageant winnings by her obsessive pageant mother, the former Miss U.S. Beauty, Candice Rickson is reduced to using her beauty and dance training to make her living while working her way into college and longing to find a man who will love her for more than her beauty but for her heart and her mind.

Despising the movie industry for its condemnation of her mother's career aspirations that she blames for her life's miseries, Candice rebuffs a heartfelt offer by an aspiring talent agent, never realizing that who she envisioned as another self-serving man would turn out to be a classmate from her elementary school days who still holds on to a childhood crush...that has matured through the years.

Disenchanted with her natural beauty and disgusted with the constant attempts of men to win her attention, Candice dresses down and disguises herself in public, going to the extreme on her college campus to avoid men in general and a certain someone, Todd Thesian. An unintentional misspelling of her name by the college administration provides her additional cover, bringing with it some unique complications and opportunities.

Could it be that fate holds the hearts true when the mind is disillusioned by apprehension?
