15 parts Ongoing After earning her master's and graduating from college, as well as owning her own shop in several states across the country, Esmeralda Lane was exactly where and what she wanted to be in life. An Independent, happy and successful woman with her own money. She was her own boss, and had everything she'd ever wanted. But one thing was missing, a man. She didn't need one, but she wanted one. Before achieving all her goals, Esmeralda experienced a heartbreak that she was sure had driven her away from men forever. Deciding to take a break from relationships, she'd decided to focus on herself and her career, which thankfully made her as successful as she is. After four years of hard work and dedication, it'd finally paid off. She was proud of herself, although she'd had all the money an luxury she'd worked hard for, she wished she had someone to share it with. The only thing that stopped her from true love was herself. As much as she wanted someone by her side she didn't want to experience that type of heart ache again. Luckily that didn't stop DeAngelo Alvarez, a wealthy paint artist, from wanting her. She was everything he'd wanted in a woman. Smart, beautiful, independent and sexy, not to mention how unapologetic and open minded she was. And that's just what he needed, but he would get close, she'd run and whenever she'd run he'd follow her. Although her running would frustrate him sometimes, all it did was make him want her even more, and it didn't stop him from going after her because he loved the chase. And all thought she'd never admit it, she did too.
