Sunday morning started with the smell of coffee and the sound of Leo’s bare feet running down the hallway. Lucy woke up slowly, enjoying the warmth of her old blankets. When she walked into the kitchen, her mother was standing in front of the open refrigerator with a frown.

"I thought I had enough eggs and milk for the blueberry pancakes," Margaret said, sighing. "Leo did you use the last carton of milk with your cereal yesterday?"

"I was hungry!" Leo shouted from the living room.

  • Rejected by One, Wanted by Another    Tender Touches

    .He cupped her face with both hands and kissed her deeply. Their lips crashed together, parting instantly as their tongues met. He explored her, stroking her tongue with long, passionate licks that made her dizzy. He bit softly on her lower lip, then plunged back in again. She moaned into his mouth, her fingers digging into his shoulders as she kissed him back just as desperately.When they finally broke apart, she was panting, her lips swollen and glistening. Jonathan didn’t give her time to recover. He trailed hot wet kisses down her neck, sucking and licking at her sensitive skin.“Jonathan… don’t … leave marks,” she warned breathlessly, her voice shaky and barely audible. “Please… I can’t—”But even as she said it, her head tilted back, offering him more.His eyes burned with desire as he gently peeled her shirt open, sliding it down her shoulders while staring straight into her eyes. The intensity of his gaze made her heart race. He lowered his head and kissed the swell of her

  • Rejected by One, Wanted by Another    Just Us

    The taxi pulled up to the curb with a soft screech of tires. Lucy handed the driver a twenty-dollar bill and climbed out before he could make small talk. The cool evening air hit her face immediately. She wrapped her wool coat tighter around herself and stood still for a moment, watching the taxi disappear around the corner.She looked up at the familiar apartment building and felt something inside her chest loosen.By the time she climbed the worn stone steps and reached the front door, she could finally breathe again.She knocked three times and the lock clicked almost instantly.The door swung open.Jonathan stood there in a faded gray sweatshirt and jeans. For a moment neither of them spoke. He simply stared at her as if he couldn't quite believe she was standing there."Lucy."Her throat tightened at the way he said her name. Before she could answer, Jonathan reached for her. She stepped inside and immediately wrapped her arms around him.He held her tightly against his chest, o

  • Rejected by One, Wanted by Another    A Secret Escape

    The black SUV rolled into the circular driveway and came to a smooth stop in front of the mansion. Before Lucy could reach for the door handle, the driver had already stepped out and opened the trunk. One by one, he lifted the heavy cardboard boxes containing her father's company records and carried them up the stone steps.Lucy followed him inside, her gaze lingering on the boxes. Each one held pieces of her family's past, answers that might explain how everything had fallen apart. The mansion was unusually quiet, Adrian's sports car was nowhere to be seen.The driver carefully placed the last box near the foyer wall before straightening his jacket."Will you be needing anything else this afternoon, Mrs. Matthews?" he asked politely.Lucy hesitated for a moment before reaching into her handbag. She pulled out her wallet and removed several crisp hundred-dollar bills. Stepping closer, she discreetly slipped the money into his hand.The driver looked down at the cash in surprise. "Ma'a

  • Rejected by One, Wanted by Another    Picking Up the Pieces

    Lucy checked her phone exactly at noon.An email from St. Jude's Private Clinic was at the top of her inbox. Her pulse quickened as she opened it. Inside was a secure link and a temporary password that granted her direct access to her father's medical account.She logged in immediately.For several tense moments, she carefully reviewed every detail on the screen. When she saw that her father's life-support funding was active and all payments were up to date, some of the pressure in her chest finally eased. Adrian had kept his promise.At least for now.Lucy closed the browser and placed her phone on the bed. Sitting in the guest room and staring at the walls would accomplish nothing. Feeling sorry for herself wouldn't save her father or help her understand what had happened to her family's company.She needed answers.Walking to the closet, she selected a black blazer, a crisp white shirt, and dark trousers. After changing, she pulled her hair into a neat bun and studied herself in th

  • Rejected by One, Wanted by Another    The Bride Fights Back

    The faint light of dawn filtered through the guest bedroom window. Lucy sat up slowly, her eyes burning from a night without sleep. The mansion had gone quiet again. A few minutes later, she heard the front door open and close downstairs. The sound echoed through the house, and she immediately knew Zoe had finally left.Lucy pushed aside the blankets and headed for the bathroom. She splashed cold water on her face and stared at her reflection for a long moment. The hurt was still there, but it was no longer controlling her. She brushed her hair into a neat ponytail and changed into a dark blue sweater and a pair of fitted trousers. If Adrian wanted to treat this marriage like a battlefield, then she refused to walk into the fight looking defeated.A sharp knock sounded at her bedroom door."Mr. Matthews is waiting for you in the dining room," the head butler announced from the other side. "Breakfast is served."Lucy inhaled deeply before opening the door and making her way downstairs.

  • Rejected by One, Wanted by Another    The Noise In The Dark

    A loud bang rattled the front door, shattering the silence of the house.Lucy’s heart pounded so hard it hurt. For a second, she sat frozen and confused. Then the banging came again.. louder this time.She quickly stood and smoothed her wrinkled cotton nightgown before hurrying out of the room. The mansion was dark and quiet as she made her way down the hallway and descended the staircase. Her bare feet barely made a sound against the polished floor.When she reached the front door, she unlocked it and pulled it open.A wave of cold night air rushed inside, so did the smell of alcohol.Lucy immediately wished she hadn't opened the door.Adrian stood there with Zoe hanging off him. His tie was loose around his neck, his shirt half-unbuttoned. Zoe could barely stand on her own. Her makeup was smudged, her blonde hair messy, and her bright red lips were curved into a drunken smile.Both of them were laughing, they looked completely comfortable together. As if they belonged together… as
