Alex and Mark: Burning Desire

Alexandra Musgrave-Barrington. Her name alone inspires awe and intense jealousy. She is tall, blonde and thin. She belongs to the wealthiest family in Boston. She has the perfect life, perfect friends, perfect boyfriend. Or does she? Often mistakenly perceived to easily get whatever she wants because of her good looks and her family’s influence and wealth. Unknown fact: despite her incandescent beauty she is exceptionally kind to others and she had a disregard for high society. She is charming, talented, funny, carefree and laid back. She may seem to have it all, but she suffers from intense insecurity brought on by her mother’s constant scrutiny and is unwittingly embroiled in dark secrets and betrayals.

Mark Wahlberg. His name alone inspires terror and fear. When he walks into a room, all eyes turn in his direction. His bold stare holds a challenge, daring all he encounters. When trouble comes calling, he never backs down, no matter the risk. He makes his own rules as he goes. His survival skills are honed by years of hard knocks and his intuition is seldom wrong. His cocky stance and bad attitude are nothing more than camouflage, cloaking the real man and his well-guarded secrets. He DOESN’T have a perfect life. He does have and relies on his brother Donnie and their gang to survive the mean streets of crime-ridden Dorchester. He’s seen too much, been betrayed too often and has finally abandoned all the ideals he once held dear. The wounds of his past have ravaged and shaped him, and made him into the man he’s become. Although he works hard to preserve his “I don’t give a damn” image, deep inside, he needs to love and be loved. He fights hard and makes love even harder. So, beware for he feels he has nothing to lose.

From opposite sides of town. Thrown together by a surprise twist of fate. Can these two stop fighting long enough to fake-date their way into each other’s hearts?
