He hardly noticed her, and to him, she was nothing more than a co-worker who wore conservative clothes, a tight bun, and followed his orders.

I mean, how hard can it be to not fall in love? [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by Ashley Santoro

Carina Romanov is a 27 year old business woman. Her Russian parents, Boris and Nadia Romanov, adopted her when she was 5 from an orphanage in New York. Ever since then she has called Brighton Beach her home. She had seen and heard many things through the years but what made Carina a favorite was the fact that she was loyal and trustworthy. She never revealed any of what she'd been privy to. When her parents decided to retire she took over Romanov's, their restaurant, remodeled it and made it an even more popular spot among the locals, especially anyone in organized crime. When Carina was 10 her mother told her that she would be betrothed to someone in Russia. Dimitri Alexandrov. Their families had been connected for many years and because Carina had been in this type of life for years it was not a shock to her. For 17 years she would get letters, phone calls and sometimes packages from Dimitri but she'd never met the man. She was always told that one day he would just show up and her new life would begin...but until then she would have to settle for images that the sound of his voice would invoke, learn to trust him to keep her safe and forgive those closest to her for keeping her in the dark regarding her adoption. She would soon be in danger from things she didn't even know about, from people she didn't even know and a biological father who wanted her dead. *All characters are purely fictional.

Sienna Antoinette Harper had spent twelve years running from her past; now 28 she'd built up walls around her heart trying to keep people out and keep her heart hidden deep within.

And when her sister, who was also her best friend and works for Addison Technologies in Las Vegas, reaches out to Sienna letting her know that she'd secured an interview that would most certainly end up as a full time job. Little did Sienna know that her past and present would collide and perhaps endanger her future. Roan Michael Addison was a billionaire CEO of his own company Addison Technologies and owned one club on the Strip in Las Vegas. He was a workaholic and didn't have time for relationships. He never saw the same woman twice, he never treated them badly but they understood once they were with him that was it. Much to the chagrin of Roan's twin brother, Cade, who was totally different. He encouraged Roan to settle down but he just wasn't feeling it until she walked into the elevator at his company and then again at his club Leviathan one night and his feelings started to change rapidly. He didn't understand these feelings and tried to fight them. The harder he fought them the more he was pulled in especially when he found out that she not only worked at his company but was the best friend of his brother's fiance, Lisbeth.

Chelsea Madison, 25, had a story book life. She grew up in Seattle, Washington with two parents who loved her very much, gave her everything that she ever needed and wanted but were careful not to spoil her. She was a gentle, loving soul. She cared about her fellow man never giving thought for herself. She graduated from the University of Washington and got a job straight away working for Sinclair Industries . Her father and mother both thought it a good idea for Chelsea to meet, fall in love with and marry the CEO of Sinclair Industries, Christian Sinclair, a billionaire playboy. Chelsea was very naive about anything in his world. Their marriage was a story for the ages; big wedding, sexy honeymoon and once they came back to reality everything changed. Christian was not a nice man. After enduring two years of emotional, physical and verbal abuse at the hands of her husband, her life was thrown into turmoil after his death. Since she was his only beneficiary she had sole control of Sinclair Industries. She met an older man at a charity event by the name of Angelo Silvano. She'd had heard he was a honest man so Chelsea decided to sell him the company but maintained employment there. Silvano has twin sons, Adrian and Aiden, age 30. Would they be able to show her what love is really about? Would she let them in? Would they still want her after they find out about her past? Can these men, together, heal her broken soul and show her how worthy she is? WOULD APPRECIATE ANY COMMENTS! THANKS!
