About the Story

Chasing perfection might mean running away from love.

Perfection is a perception in Mary's world - one she works hard to maintain. Constantly chasing the life she thinks she deserves, Mary has mostly resisted the temptations of the small town bartender Simon.  Until her younger sister marries Simon's brother and Mary is forced to confront her feelings.  Will she follow her head and continue dating the husband material she thinks she wants or will she listen to her heart?

Simon has never been able to resist Mary, even when it's a bad idea.  And it's usually a bad idea. When they are thrown together he plucks up the courage to make one final stand to try to win her heart. Will it cost him everything or be worth the world?

Diamond Heart 💎 by bellamerce

------- He loved the girl that can't love him.....And now he can't love the girl that loves him -------- ** "Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out. He tilts his head back over the back of his chair in a lazy laid back way, his thumb and fingers now holding his chin, as he watches me leave, still with a small smile on his face. "I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble. So he moves forward with his future, making sure that no woman is unclear about his intentions about love, or carries any hopes of marriage and happily ever after..that is not in his destiny. It's really simple actually: -Nothing lasts forever... especially love. -Nothing is long term... When it comes to his relationships. -Everyone is replaceable... So don't get too comfortable. But that is not to say that the ride will not be exceptionally enjoyable, while it lasts.. But such an arrangement, is not something Raquel St Patrick can wrap her head around. Whimsical, Peculiar, Optimistic, Independent, Eccentric, Deviant...are all words one can use to describe her, Her very nature is to go against the odds. For her, it's all or nothing. Can Aaron convince her to jump along on the ride with him on his terms....? But what happens when the lines start to get blurred and they get so intertwined that it's harder to separate, than stay together. * Books by Bellamerce 1) Only For You (Completed) 2) When Stars Align (Completed) 3) Fire On Fire (Completed) 4) Diamond Heart (Completed)
