Charybdis

His life littered with the women he's used--a dead hooker he planned on marrying, and a stepfather he hates with a passion--Chip Davis is ready to move on. The Woman has found her way into his life, and he intends to run with her at full speed towards happiness. Nothing can stop him--not a dead friend, a missing brother, or a father with employment that leaves Chip cold--nothing except for the truth.

Charybdis is the first book in K. A. Thompson's Charybdis series.
