[Previously Love Heals a Broken Heart]

Keith Carlton, Neal Heartman, and Noah Myers were America's most eligible bachelors until they weren't. At thirty, Noah Myers, a notorious playboy and heir to billions, still revels in his carefree life of glamorous conquests. But his parents drop a bombshell: an arranged marriage to fulfill a promise made generations ago.

Miabel Anderson, a young widow still grieving her husband, learns she's the unwitting bride in this pact. Numb to the world, love is the furthest thing from her mind. Yet, she finds herself bound to a man who craves freedom and shuns commitment.

Can two people so opposed find common ground? As their forced union unfolds, secrets from the past resurface, threatening to tear them apart. Noah must confront his playboy ways, and Miabel must rediscover the capacity to feel. Amidst a whirlwind of ex-lovers, family mysteries, and unexpected desires, their arranged marriage might just lead them to the love neither of them knew they needed.All Rights Reserved

(COMPLETED) He's everything she hates. A rich, arrogant, cocky playboy. She should be repulsed by him, but from the first moment she met him face to face, her heart of ice ineluctably set on fire. He had one mission. Something he had struggled for his entire life. Something that he was so determined to do, he once believed there nothing that could stand in his way. He should have known better. Nothing that you long desperately enough for comes without a price. But what price do you have to pay when you start to spend a little too much time around the one you were born to despise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I don't have anything to bribe you with, only my own words. Tell me, how will you ever be free if you do not take a risk every once in a while?" "I take risks." "You may take risks that give you freedom from your life, but I have a feeling this risk is a little different on many levels, correct me if I'm wrong." I began to think, did one single day really matter? Maybe it would help, maybe it was all I needed to stop thinking about him. "Make the most of it as it will both the first and the last time you are taking me to lunch, let alone ever seeing me again."
