"Come with me." 

I laugh and wipe the beads of sweat off my forehead.

"And why would you think I'd go anywhere with you?" I ask. 

He fills his cheeks with air and glances at the time on his watch, before slipping his hands slowly into his pocket.

"I might have told everyone at the party that I'm engaged..." 

I chuckle and sprinkle extra flour on the dough before continuing to knead it.

"And you want me to come with you to see if she's a good match for you? Since when did we become acquaintances?" I laugh.

He lets out a guilty laugh. 

"No I... I told them I'm engaged to you."

After fleeing from her scumbag ex and quitting college over three years ago Joanie Collins has now rebuilt her life running a little bakery back in her hometown. Happy to be alone rather than being hurt again, Joanie has built up high ice walls to protect her fragile heart and has sworn off all men. That is until troubled playboy millionaire Caleb Maverick returns home after being abroad for two years and they're forced to work together. Can Caleb melt this Ice queens heart and find peace for himself? ----------- "And what about me? Was it just a crush you had on me?" he says in a raspy hushed voice that makes me take a big gulp. I lean forward so I'm now closer also to Caleb and look him straight in the eyes. If we're going to be honest... then let's do this. "Your Caleb Maverick, everyone had a crush on you. The fact you were so oblivious to all the attention you got just added to your boyish charm. The girls at our school wanted one night with Ethan but they all wanted to settle down and marry you." I say honestly and Caleb actually looks surprised. He sits back in his chair looking genuinely puzzled, "That's not...that's not how I remember high school." He mutters before his eyes fix back onto me. "I remember being second best to Ethan for everything. Sports, grades, girls, Mia...you." he grits. ---------------------- The Sequel to 'More than just Neighbours'. I'd recommend reading that book first for these characters backstory x

Highest Ranking #512 in Romance The song itself held so much meaning to our situation, so I committed it to memory, remembering each step and exactly how it felt to be in his arms for one last time. "Are you going to come to the wedding?" Enrique asked warily, as if he were dreading the answer. "Yes, I promise that I'll be there. Unless, you don't want me to come." I rushed out feeling panicked. Maybe he didn't want me to come, what if it was too hard- "What if you break your promise?" I mentally sighed in relief and smiled softly. "Ree, I will never break a promise to you. For as long as my heart is beating, no matter the pain it brings. I'm here today and I'll be there when you marry her in two weeks. Trust me." I stared into his eyes, hoping that he would see how much I meant my words and how much I loved him. ∞ ∞ ∞ Megan is an innocent, independent and beautiful woman.

"You can't be serious?" I stare at him in disbelief, blinking as I notice there isn't any sign of a lie. "Why would I marry you? I mean I see your benefits, there's nothing in it for me." "I have something you want, you know that. You're just to stubborn to realise it." He shrugs, slouching in his desk chair. "What do you have? A bad reputation?" "Money, you and I both know just how much you need it right now." He says, staring back at me but not in disbelief. He's fully serious about this. ------ Gianna Rose Rowell hasn't had the best start in life, by the looks of it, things aren't changing. She grew up poor, someone close to her is ill. She has student debt bills, rent months overdue and now doctors bills to pile on top of that. Working as an assistant for a hockey player doesn't exactly help that either. Aiden Bennett is privileged, he always has been. Unlike Gianna he has grown up with money. Unfortunately for his parents, he didn't want their lifestyle, which to them didn't matter. He inherited the company and had his side thing. Hockey. Put the pressure gets to him and he turns to other means to distract him. Marriage of convenience trope.
