Books like The Trusting Game by Penny Jordan
Christa Bellingham has long worked to shake off the stereotype of the "pretty but business‑inept" woman. Her stubborn self‑confidence and wariness toward men have kept her safe, but a damaged past makes her wary of trust. Daniel Geshard, a prominent businessman, approaches her with an offer to teach her the art of trust. Though his intentions seem sincere, he stands to gain much if Christa agrees to follow his lead. Presented as a modern romance, the story explores whether faith in another can be earned or if past insecurities will keep a woman standing alone.
