Carly Hart Leak

Trixie Benning– the no-nonsense Accounting Manager working her way up the corporate ladder. She is highly intelligent, introverted, and for the most part, steadfast about keeping personal and work separated – except when it comes to him. Drew Alexander- the President and CEO that seems to be her polar-opposite in personality. A confident extrovert with the type of ‘love- ‘em-and-leave- ‘em’ history that the tabloids salivate over. He’s used to getting what he wants – and he’s not happy with being told ‘no.’ When Trixie uncovers suspicious activity at the company, she and Drew must work closely together to repair the damage. But the deeper they dig, the greater the danger to them both. They just might find the love of a lifetime – if they stop running from it long enough.

Mia Jones – Blake Jones’ little sister who’s not so little anymore. A stunning twenty-year-old with long black hair, green eyes, and shapely curves, she’s a tiny spitfire who barely comes up to Blake’s shoulder. Tanner Greysen – Blake’s best friend since middle school. Although she was always hanging around, he never paid much attention to Mia growing up – she was always just his best friend’s bratty little sister. Three adults, returning to their hometown of Mason, Texas for the holidays. But sparks fly when Tanner notices just how grown-up little Mia has become. His attraction to her could cost him the best friend he’s had for years – if Blake doesn’t kill him outright first, that is.

Faith Thomas – Thirty-six-year-old accountant and closet romantic whose marriage implodes when she catches her husband of ten years cheating. Devastated, she moves home to Texas, determined to never let another man into her heart ever again. Rick Connor – The handsome thirty-nine-year-old retired Navy cryptologist making a new start for himself after a crushing loss four years earlier. He’s alone, and he's made peace with it – until Faith Thomas wanders into his bookstore and into his heart.

Sarah Genard – Karli Anders’ best friend and fellow blogger. Three years earlier, she made a rash decision that left her with a tattered heart. While she acts like her life is going exactly as she planned it, she secretly longs to reconnect with that one special man, someone she genuinely loved - not just in body, but also in mind, heart, and soul. Tim Fresco - Jordan Baker’s friend and co-worker who has sworn off women after a runaway bride left him standing alone and emotionally gutted at the altar. The mere thought of Sarah Genard both intrigues and terrifies him. Only he can decide whether to let fear keep him lonely or follow his heart and reach out for her - again.

Leah Culverton – Shannon Rivers’ roommate and fiercely loyal best friend. A stubbornly independent and free-spirited soul, Leah takes orders from no one, least of all a bossy FBI man…no matter how attractive she finds him… Larry Fuller – The FBI agent working to bring down a huge money laundering operation. With Shannon Rivers in harm’s way, it’s his job to make sure she’s safely hidden until the bad guys can be caught. But he has his hands (and his heart) full when he meets her feisty roommate, Leah.

Un video único se volvió viral de la noche a la mañana. En el video, en la cima de una montaña nevada, mi novio, Ted Moretti, se arrodillaba sobre una rodilla con una expresión tierna. Entre aplausos, el anillo en su dedo brillaba; era el anillo de la futura novia de la familia Moretti. En cuestión de horas, el video encabezó las tendencias en múltiples plataformas. La gente lo aclamó como la propuesta más romántica del año. Anya Rossi publicó después un mensaje: He estado esperando esta boda desde hace tanto, ¡y por fin está pasando! ¡Gracias! La sección de comentarios se inundó al instante de exclamaciones emocionadas: «¿Un heredero de una familia de la Mafia y una mujer común? ¡Me encanta!» «Parece sacado de una novela.» «¡Qué envidia!» Fui a buscar a mi novio para confirmarlo. Antes siquiera de poder hablar, lo escuché conversando con un amigo cercano en el estudio. —¿Y qué otra opción tengo? —dijo Ted, con un dejo de fastidio en la voz—. Si no me caso con ella, su padre la va a vender. Su amigo vaciló. —¿Y qué hay de Carly? Ha estado contigo tantos años. ¿No te preocupa que se vuelva loca? Ted soltó una risita, despreocupado. —¿Y qué si se enoja? Carly y yo llevamos seis años juntos. No se va a ir. No puede irse. En ese momento, algo muy dentro de mí pareció congelarse por completo. Un mes después… El mismo día en que Ted y Carly se casaron, yo me casé con otro hombre. Nuestras caravanas de bodas se cruzaron en el centro. Según la costumbre, intercambiamos ramos entre los dos autos nupciales que pasaban, y las ventanillas bajaron al mismo tiempo. Ahí fue cuando Ted me vio. Yo llevaba un vestido de novia blanco. No detrás de él, sino en brazos de otro hombre. Conocía a Ted Moretti de años, y, por primera vez, vi cómo perdía esa compostura perfecta que siempre lo había caracterizado.

But an unforeseen twist could dash all Jordan’s hopes for good.
