Fate Had Other Plans (The Maren Lofton #5)

Maren Lofton, a late twenties sometime professional golfer is a strong, petite, amiable, and intelligent young lady with a butterscotch complexion and dark eyes, courtesy of her Philippine mom. She has recently gone through a traumatic episode, which included the death of someone who had been intent on changing her life. It would have been difficult enough for her to deal with this while having her fiancé at her side, but Jon Fitch is often gone. As a geologist, his company has had him investigating sites all over the world for minerals of which they are in need, sometimes at the most inopportune times!
Jon Fitch, while trying to comfort his fiancé, wishes he could spend more time with his thirteen year old son Ken, who lives with his Mom, Candace McGraw, on the Caribbean Island of San Roussel. Ken seems happy in this Island paradise and he sails regularly with his Mom and her boyfriend James Robinson. Knowing that a marriage between them could be in the offing, Jon's concern is that the relationship with his son may drift away. That may not be the only problem this teen faces.

This is the fifth book in the Maren Lofton series.
