Charity Case

Lindsay Chase had everything she'd ever wanted until a gambling addiction ruined her flashy life in Los Angeles. Forced home to Connecticut to start over, she's broke, on probation, and ordered to do community service.  When she meets social worker Ellie Tuttle, their attraction is immediate, but Lindsay's self-centered nature tests Ellie's usually endless patience and empathy. Lindsay struggles to reconcile who she used to be with her new, humble existence, and she's not exactly making a great first impression.
As Ellie and Lindsay get to know each other while working together at the homeless shelter, they fall into an unlikely friendship that slowly leads to love, despite Ellie's efforts to avoid it.  But when the shelter is set to close due to lack of funding, Lindsay has the chance to prove she isn't as selfish as everyone thinks. She'll save the day and show Ellie she's worthy of her love. That is if she doesn't go to jail for it first.
