Love in Service

Dori Mendoza is sixteen and sitting in an eight o'clock college class, because forward is the only direction she has ever been shown. A law firm by twenty. Her family's translator, banker, babysitter and buffer by default. Everyone's answer, and nobody's question.

Then a Dutchman she meets at an outlet mall in Orlando asks her something no one has asked her before: what does she want?

Loving Max means wanting something for herself for the first time, and she has no vocabulary for it. So she serves. She performs. And when the relationship starts to slip, she tells a lie, because a maybe is worth more than an answer. Then she tells it again, to her family.

Love in Service is the second book in The Dori Trilogy, a story about a woman who has only ever earned love trying to learn how to receive it. She signs a lease with one name on it. She has two months.
