The Proposal
Melinda woke the next morning with a smile on her face. What had she been dreaming about? It must have been pretty good, because she felt like nothing in the world could bring her down. And then she remembered, it hadn't been a dream. It had been Daniel, lying with her in the sand under a full moon. She snuggled deeper under the covers, wishing it never had to end. But Bree was supposed to get married today. And then tomorrow, Melinda would be back in Amor. If there were only a way to convince her mother to stop listening to Grams and allow Melinda to move on with her life.
Except, nothing was how it was supposed to be. The elation Melinda had felt instantly vanished. Bree couldn't marry Mark, which meant there'd be no celebrating. And with everyone in such bad temper, there was no way they would agree to sell the diner. A sense of dread washed over Meli

Daniel couldn't believe this was really happening. He stood in front of a full-length mirror, dressed in a tuxedo. He didn't realize people wore those things anymore."We don't have time to have it tailored," Mr. Garrett said, walking around Daniel as if he were an exhibit. "But for not being custom fit, that tux fits you quite nicely. How does it feel?""Like I'm glad I'm only getting married once," Daniel said, smiling.Mr. Garrett shook his head, apparently not appreciating Daniel's attempt at humor. "If you aren't comfortable, you are going to remember your wedding day by how many times you wished you could rip your tie off and by the number of blisters on your feet. And from the way you were looking at my daughter
Borrowing Amor The Thief
“Furious” didn't begin to describe how Melinda felt in that moment. How dare her grandmother pretend that she was stopping her from marrying Daniel because she cared about her. Because she was trying to help Melinda reach her potential. The only thing her grandmother ever did was stop Melinda from living. From being happy."Did you know that before this man moved to Amor, he was a criminal?" Melinda's grandmother asked. Her voice shook, like she found this so shocking that she couldn't control herself."Yes, Grams," Melinda said through gritted teeth. "Can we take this somewhere else? This seems like more of a private conversation.""No, I believe this is the right time and the right place," her grandmother
Borrowing Amor The Icy Fist
Daniel pulled into his apartment complex, then sat, staring out the windshield at the brick building in front of him. How could he have been so stupid to think that his past wouldn't matter to people? It didn't matter that he'd been doing everything in his power to make things right. It didn't matter that for the past two years, he had been working as a human resources employee in the mayor's office and volunteering at a nonprofit organization that helped the homeless during his free time. None of that mattered because someone had decided to search his name on the Internet, and for the rest of his life, only the mistakes he'd made would surface. Why even try?His phone rang and he looked down. It was Melinda.
Borrowing Amor About Time
Melinda stared. "If anyone was made a fool of, it was my grandmother, going on like that in front of everyone," she said."Oh, I'm sure they saw it like that," Daniel said, sarcasm dripping from each word. "Yes, everyone feels sorry for the conniving criminal, rather than the poor, sweet grandmother who only wants to protect her family.""Stop calling yourself that," Melinda said, her voice rising in volume."I tried, but I can't seem to get away from it."Melinda narrowed her eyes and glared at Daniel from across the room. This was not the romantic reunion she had envisioned. She’d thought she'd arrive at his door, and he'd stare at her, stunned. Melinda would explain how there had
Borrowing Amor The Wedding--For Real
Melinda looked in the long mirror. Her hair was pulled up off her neck, and she had decided to forgo the veil this time. It had taken a lot of time, and some scissors, to get the last one off.“You look beautiful,” her mother said, walking up behind her.Melinda spun around. “Thank you, Mom.”“From watching you two, I can tell you are perfect for each other. I’m sorry—”“No more of that,” Melinda said. Her mom had spent a lot of time apologizing over the last several months, and it was time they both moved on from their mistakes and on to a happier future. “I’ve had plenty to apol
Borrowing Amor Book 4: Borrowing a Billionaire
Bev pulled into the parking lot in front of her office building. Her car was the only one there, but that wasn’t unusual. The sun was just barely beginning to rise and the New Mexican sky looked like it was exploding, an array of oranges and reds shooting from the skyline. Bev smiled and stepped out, taking a moment to appreciate the view.She unlocked the front door and took the stairs up to her office. It was dark, with faint strips of light escaping through shades that were pulled over the windows. She walked over and raised the shade closest to her desk. That was the first thing she did every morning—let the light in.The next thing was to listen to her messages. That was one of the reasons she liked to arrive before anyone else. She liked to make sure there were no unpl
Borrowing Amor The Price of Money
Charles stared up at the night sky from the balcony off his bedroom, trying to clear his head. He always felt more at peace when he was outside. Maybe it had to do with his house being too big for one person. It was so much empty space that he felt claustrophobic, the silence pressing in on him from all sides. But all the other hedge fund managers said that if he wanted to be taken seriously, he needed to look the part. That meant the fancy car, expensive suits, and gigantic house that was nestled inside a gated community. Charles had drawn the line at hiring someone to cook for him. He was afraid that if he couldn’t even warm up his own burritos, he’d lose touch with reality—and himself.The email he had just received replayed in his mind. When he’d first heard of Galactic Enterprises, it had sounded like some rich person’s
Borrowing Amor The Best-Looking Guy
Bev waited in front of her apartment building, bag in hand. She checked her watch for the fiftieth time. Katie wasn’t late, she reminded herself. Bev had just been so excited that she was packed and outside waiting half an hour early. Anxiety bubbled within her chest. After that first phone call with Julie, she hadn’t known what to feel. At first, Bev had been annoyed that Katie had entered her name into the drawing without telling her. Bev didn’t want her personal information floating around for anyone to use for their pleasure. Why take the risk of someone selling her email address when she had nearly zero percent chance of winning?But then it had sunk in. Bev Miller had won something. That never happened. And it wasn’t a day at the spa…it was a day in space. She wasn’t sure what to expect, hence the anxiety, but k
