Bella Jansen has always gotten everything she wants. At twenty-two, life for the Instagram model is pretty perfect- finishing school, living in her parents' beautiful home. Sweet, dramatic, and just a little bit ditsy, Bella has always floated through life with charm, confidence, and the firm belief that things will work out exactly the way she wants them to. Then she meets Brent Shaw. Brent is the self-made estate manager - hardworking, guarded, and completely unimpressed by Bella's rich-girl world. After a painful heartbreak, he has no interest in getting involved with someone like her. But Bella Jansen isn't exactly used to hearing the word no... and before long, Brent finds himself drawn in by the very girl he tried to avoid. What starts as flirtation quickly turns into something real. But real life isn't the fairytale Bella always imagined. Between complicated friendships, her rebellious twin brother Grant stirring up trouble with her best friend, and the ever-present chaos of their tight-knit circle, Bella begins to realize that love isn't something you can charm your way into or treat like an accessory. For the first time in her life, Bella has to learn the difference between getting what she wants... and fighting for something that actually matters. And Brent's heart might be the one thing she can't take for granted. ~~~ Family Matters: Bella & Brent (revised) "Family first. Love second. Reality somewhere in between."
