Five years ago, Ian Rinaldi was summoned to Chicago to meet his uncle's best friend's eldest daughters. The only one that caught his attention was the youngest, Skylar Grant, the girl he saved from jumping off a balcony. Soon after, he went back home, not picking either of the eldest Grant sisters, too stuck on the youngest. So he makes a life for himself in San Francisco. But five years later they meet again. Now Skylar isn't the same 16-year old he held in his arms while she cried on his shoulder. Skylar is now a woman. A very tempting woman that he hasn't stopped thinking about since that night so long ago. WARNING: This story contains sensitive subjects, sexual content, and some mature language.

Alice Monroe was a good person who was about to do a very bad thing. A professional dancer at twenty-four, Alice had worked tirelessly for years to achieve perfection in all areas of her life. She had the perfect boyfriend, the perfect dream job in her pocket, as well as the unfortunate, naïve belief that perfection is built to last.

Little did she know that this was just the beginning of her twist of fate nightmare. Ethan Black is waiting for her in Chicago as a perfect stranger, but soon after he and Alice meet, it's impossible for either of them to deny that they're destined to be much more. The only problem? Ethan's engaged to be wed to her sister. STORY IS COMPLETE
