Ophelia Masters can't seem to get this love thing correct. She wants a normal man, but they are so mind-numbingly boring, that she's given up on them, too. Then along comes Ian Fisk...a sexy-as-sin, blind artist that wants nothing more than to sweep Ophelia off her feet...and into his bed. She struggles with his attention, and he refuses to back down. Blindness isn't always a handicap, unless you decide not to see.

Blythe Conners was definitely in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was just a small town girl who had been taken by the shiny lights of New York City. She never expected to witness her boyfriend murdering someone, or to discover that even with a simple name like Michael Johnson, he was actually from a powerful crime conglomerate. The situation has put her life in danger, and now she is on the run, with nothing more than the clothes on her back. She only has enough money in her pocket for a child's bus ticket to get home, so she hopes her youthful appearance will finally prove useful. Luca Morelli is working one of the biggest cases of his career. All he needs is one breakthrough to take down the Fitzgerald crime family - just one key witness to a major crime to help him. Frustrated by the lack of movement with the case, he gives in to the demands of his long-distance fiancée, and plans to spend a week with her family. What he doesn't expect is the twelve year old girl sitting next to him on the bus. She's precocious and funny, but she's on the bus to the wrong city, alone and with no money. The least he can do is help her get home safely. There's something about her, though, that has his senses on alert. He can't help but feel she isn't what she seems, and every so often, she acts much older than twelve years old. ***Loosely based on the classic film The Major and The Minor***

"No, dearest." Sebastian smiled revealing a set of perfectly white teeth. "I am quite real. Care to have a touch?" His eyebrows went up emphatically. Madeline let out a breath she'd been holding for quite some time. She took two careful steps toward him, reaching out and poking his forearm with her index finger. He was warm, deliciously so. "Not exactly what I had in mind but whatever works for you, sweetheart." Sebastian shrugged playfully. Madeline moved further away, her eyebrows in knots above her puffy eyes. "So where are we sleeping?" "We?" She stuttered. What was going on? Her mind was full of overwhelming questions. Had she finally fallen off the deep end? Sure, she had been super sad, more down than she remembered being in a very long time, but she didn't think she had pushed herself to the extreme of hallucinating. "Yes, we." Sebastian was standing then. His height was impressive. She stumbled back with his nearness. He laughed, shaking his head. He really did find her to be quite amusing. Her nervousness made her all the more interesting. "Did you not miss me, Madsy?" Sebastian teased. "Because I most definitely missed you." Madeline Hunter is abandoned after graduation by her best and only friend Nolan Sinclair. Upon his leaving, her mind is flooded with visions from her past. With no one left to distract her from the miserable memories, she is visited by an old, slightly invisible friend that she hadn't thought about in years. Sebastian Bear is no longer the little boy she went on adventures with as a child. He has grown up and is eager to show her how much. Cover design by Lindsfrantz !
