Desperate Measures

Imagine that you've just met the love of your life. Their looks entrance you, they know you inside and out, and you just can't imagine your life without them now. There is no way your love could get any stronger. Now, with a wedding to plan, your life seems more like a fairy tale every day, and you are that much closer to your happy ending. Except, your lover has become a missing person.

In Desperate Measures, by Fern Michaels, this is what happens to Pete Sorenson.

Pete was a loner all his life. After his parents passed away, he bounced around from foster home to foster home, without ever really having a true family. The only true family he ever came close to was Barney, his best friend when he was just a little boy. Barney promised him that no matter where Pete was in the future, he would come and rescue him when he turned sixteen.

Pete's sixteenth birthday came and went, and there was not a single sign from Barney.

Things aren't so dreadful for long, because Pete's uncle finally finds him, and his life turns right around. He never has to be stuck in a foster home ever again. He finally has a family and is blessed with all the money he could ever need, since his uncle is a very successful lawyer.

He follows in his uncle's footsteps and decides to go to law school, as well. This is when he meets Annie, who quickly becomes his best friend. They mesh so well together and know everything there is to know about each other. They help each other through school and make many fond memories together. Pete even trusts her enough to reveal the story about Barney, which he has never told to anyone.

Later on in life, Pete meets the exotic Maddie and falls head over heels in love. They create an intimate bond when they discover that they were both foster children. Although Annie doesn't believe Maddie is really his type, she is Pete's best friend and supports him all the same. But Annie can't ignore her true feelings.

As Maddie and Pete's relationship evolves, Pete slowly begins to lose touch with Annie. However, just days before the couple's big wedding, Maddie disappears. Desperate to find her, Pete enlists the help of faithful, old friend, Annie. Of course, she can't say no, despite her somewhat negative feelings towards his missing fiance. She would do absolutely anything in her power to make Pete happy, even if it means breaking her own heart.

Desperate Measures is a lovely tale of two best friends striving to find love in the world. This book is a great read for anyone who's ever loved someone, but couldn't let them know, and for anyone who has ever gone above and beyond to please that special someone. Sometimes you need to take desperate measures for the one you love.

Once she was in her teens, Julia began writing tales where she would go on big adventures and land a handsome hero in the end.

After college she began to live some of those big adventures in real life and even obtained a few jobs working with the government.
