Bianca Thatcher and Colin Carrington 

********
How do you return to a home and family you never knew existed?

Colin and his brother, Shayne, are the sons of Nicholas Carrington. At eighteen years old their father left behind his former life and wealth in one of Dallas's wealthiest oil families. He was never heard of again and disinherited by his father.

Over fifty years later this long-kept family secret is revealed. . . . Colin Carrington gets a shocking phone call from Greyson Carrington, a cousin he has never heard of. That phone call would change the life of Colin and his brother, Shayne, forever. . . . They went from being raised in a middle-class family to being members of the Carrington family, one of the wealthiest oil families in Dallas. Find out how this journey all began. 

Follow Colin's new journey to forgiving his father, who passed away years ago. He was emotionally distant all his life. Colin isn't your average hero. He doesn't feel like a hero at all until he meets Bianca Thatcher. He embarks on a quest to keep her safe from her exasperating ex-boyfriend, Jagger. But Colin just might be the one who needs a heroine to save him from the fragments of internal scars he's carried for many years. Will Colin end up losing his heart to Bianca?

Is his over confidence a mask for deeper hidden feelings? Will their battle of wills lead to a deep love that neither of them expected? "Hello Sabine, I hear we're going to be working together. Please don't think I had anything to do with that decision. Trust me on that! Please try to keep your claws in, during working ours." Shayne smirked as he handed me a file of paperwork with sticky notes. He wrote directions on the outside like I was a kindergartener. "Oh, by the way, your new desk will be outside of my office tomorrow. I'll see you in the morning, Miss Harlow." He moved his thick brown eyebrows up and down. He had the nerve to grin from ear to ear with his arms folded, as he stood before me. I was exasperated with him already. "I have until the end of the day, to decide if I am willing to be your assistant." I snapped at him with an extra smug and cold expression on my face. He leaned over my desk close to my face, with his steel grey eyes. Up close, I saw hints of blue in them. "I have no doubt, that you will be sitting at your desk tomorrow working for Shayne Carrington." He stated a little too sure of himself. I can't do it! Who speaks in third person about themselves?
