I live by my rules. Rule #1: No dating clients. The reasons being it makes things complicated, I don't date (see rule 4), and most of my clients are rich douche bags or old enough to be my grandfather. Rule #2: Do not draw attention to yourself. You cannot be seen. You need to be invisible. Which means no photos of yourself under any circumstances. Rule #3: Bringing up the past is a big NO. The old you no longer exists. Rule #4: No dating, simply because you have terrible taste in men and relationships always end with someone getting hurt. Life was simple with the rules. Life was safe with these rules. Sure I was a little unhappy here and there but I got something a lot of people in this world don't, a second chance. My new life in L.A. was a fresh start. Then one day I had the pleasure of running into the egotistical Ryson Lábel. As our friendship grew I found myself breaking one rule after another until eventually I began to fall. He made me believe that I no longer needed to Hide Away. Silly me believing that I could ever have a happy ending. Note: Images used are not mine unless I specify they are.

WHEN AN UNLIKELY SUITOR.... The Earl of Stokeford is hardly a man of amiable disposition and social graces. He scowls whenever he pleases, becomes rude at any time convenient for him, and worse, has a regrettable tendency to scare ladies out of their wits. Therefore, it is a most astonishing thing indeed when, upon laying eyes on the beautiful Miss Sophie Winscott, he decides to embark on a courtship... Except, of course, the hapless peer knows nothing in the matters of romance...until he receives help from an unlikely quarter. MEETS AN EAGER MATCHMAKER Then enter Miss Winscott's cousin, the vivacious Caroline Davis, who oddly gets along well with the slightly waspish Earl. Determined to help, Caroline endeavours to make a match of the two. But for all her enthusiasm, she can't help but be drawn to the troubled lord... and things start to get a little tangled from there.

Twenty-five year old Charlie London has always been too busy for women because of his restaurant business in NYC. What will happen when he spots the girl he let go of all those years ago? Will old love rekindle into a new flame? Find out in The Mistletoe Game!
