Leo and I fell in love, and he loved and accepted my little girl as if he was her father. He made it 100% clear that he wanted to marry me and adopt Samantha. As if we couldn't get any happier, I got pregnant -- big surprise. Then his parents, who had adored my daughter, backed away from her since she wasn't their "real" grandchild. But it wasn't until Leo backed off from wanting to adopt my daughter that I realized maybe Leo and I weren't going to have the happily ever after we'd been planning.

Esme Things can become clear in a second. When I found Tanner in his office with that woman, so many things became obvious. Tanner's always held himself back from me, but now, secrets and lies come tumbling out into the light. He's never loved me and he never will. I'm no longer willing to be a placeholder in his life, and I have to end our marriage. Tanner I'd been married for four years to someone I didn't believe I loved because I thought I still loved another woman. A woman I had to give up when I chose to marry my wife after I got her pregnant. Now, the other woman's back, she's divorced and is telling me it's our time to be together. Just as soon as I divorce my wife, who's pregnant with our second child. The allure of the past was impossible to resist, so I gave in, met her at my office and my wife found us just...after. So many things became clear to me even before I looked into my wife's devastated eyes. What had I done? I knew what I'd done, and now I had to prove to my wife that she's the one I want.

A firefighter falls in love with a woman he met in a bar...because his friends bet him he wouldn't ask out the most unattractive woman in the place.

Genevieve It was just your typical biker engagement party...until I found my fiance kissing my step-sister. Wedding's off, I take off, and when I return, the man who is now engaged to my step-sister is telling me I still owe him a wedding. But I'm done coming in second place to my step-sister. Little did I know that I was coming in second to something much bigger than her... Levi/Chain Genevieve owes me a wedding, and I aim to collect. But getting her there is going to be the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life. Lies. Secrets. Karma. And let's not forget the grovel.

Have you ever been taken for granted around the holidays? Everything falling on your shoulders and no one helps or expresses their appreciation? This year, I was done being overlooked. And I let it be known in no uncertain terms. Then everything fell apart, and I had to put myself back together.
