I wake up every morning in my penthouse apartment next to a man who's been madly in love with me for the better part of a decade. I have the career, marriage and children I've always dreamed of. My life is about as close to perfect as I could imagine. So naturally, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Nothing perfect lasts. I learned that the hard way a decade ago when Charlie Carter shattered my heart.
***
I go to bed most nights next to a beautiful face and hot, young body. I wake up every morning alone. Which is exactly how I like it. You can't break a girl's heart if she doesn't give it to you to begin with, and I'm done with broken hearts. Ten years ago, I made a mistake, one that destroyed everything in my life, most of all Faith Lewis. But don't you dare feel sorry for her. She turned around and destroyed me right back.
Now she's back in Adair after nearly a decade away, and how dare she? How dare she waltz back in my life and make me question everything? How dare she judge me and the man I've become? She did this to me. I may have been the one to mess up, but she's the one who gave up. So yeah, I'm bitter and I'm angry. I'm angry that she lost faith in me. I'm angry that she vanished. I'm angry that she moved on so quickly and easily while I spent years wallowing in despair. But more than anything, I'm angry at how desperately I still want her.

KISS ME NOW
"I'm going to kiss you now." Those were the most beautiful words a man had ever spoken to me. They were the start of my obsession. And the start of my life getting turned upside down. That night in the club, I was celebrating my new success (and luck) because I'd finally landed an investor for my budding company. I had no idea the hot stranger who would tempt me back to his place would end up being the guy who was cutting my checks. Lark is everything I want in a man, but that doesn't matter. Not at all. Because mixing money and emotions is a sin, and when you toss in the fact his ex-wife is his business partner, you'd have to be insane to think love is possible. I should say no when he locks us inside his office. I shouldn't spend the night while his ex is trying to destroy my reputation. I really shouldn't let his lips gets close when he whispers, "I'm going to kiss you now." But I guess I'm insane. Because I do.

I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy!
