Gwendolyn was different. There was no doubt about it. 

She was told constantly by her friends that she had a body to die for. 

She was sarcastic and was never one to entertain the circus. If she had something to say she would say it.

After being cheated on by her ex, exacting revenge on him, and being harrased by the younger one of her bosses, Gwendolyn manages to get a new job with the help of her Best friend working for the fearsome Xavier Wells.

He was cold, distant and had a mysterious past. He had always worn dark sunglasses, even when there was no sun.

Xavier found himself lost, not knowing what to do, everytime he was with Gwendolyn or if he even thought about her.

His dark past taught him that people couldn't love, it was just lust or too much to drink. Until her. Gwendolyn made him feel again.

Though he warned her everytime that she must not fall for him. They both fell before realizing it.

Now she was his and He would not lose her as well.

Being in the right place at the right time offered her an opportunity like no other. The only problem? The past she believed she had left so far behind her was in fact lurking just around the corner waiting for the right time to pounce. When the only man she felt she could truly trust began keeping secrets Sophia wondered if there had been any truth in their relationship at all. ***** "Why do you always hide from me?" His fingers were still gently holding her chin. He wanted that night to be different, he wanted to allow himself to feel things, for just one evening. She cast her eyes down. "I'm not hiding." "Then look at me, Sophia..." She took in a deep breath and drew her eyes upwards, looking at him through her mascara laced lashes. His fingers fluttered across her skin and he placed his palm gently on her cheek. He brought his face closer and rested his forehead on hers as if he were trying to fight the pull between them. "What are you doing to me?" His voice was barely a whisper.
