“I think that most marriages start with love, but that isn’t what holds it together. You know that old saying, “First comes love, then come marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage?” I think that is what happens. People fall in love so they get married. Once they are married, the marriage and the things like a house and children are what keep it together.”

Mel and Jake have never had a normal relationship. She doesn't believe in love and he is in love with her. They reversed the rhyme and started with, "First comes marriage." This leads to drama and the need for a counselor that can fix them. Sitting down, and giving their own perspectives on the relationship, Mel and Jake are forced to confront things they have tried to avoid. Love then marriage, or marriage and then love? Does it matter which comes first?

Book 7 in the It just Happened Series. (Can be a stand alone but to better understand it read Never Say Never.) Love is supposed to be great and for awhile it was, until it wasn't. I had it all! The perfect husband, well for the most part. Everyone has their flaws but Johnny he was the best. Then I lost him and my world fell apart. How can you move on from your other half? Then there is River Fox the one person who will just not leave. Just because he made a promise to my husband doesn't mean he owes me anything. He infuriates me to no end! I just can't get him out of my mind, and it kills me! "Katrina." He never calls me by my name. It's always princess, stubborn, a pain in his ass. "Look at me." I can't because when you call my name it does things to me, I know it shouldn't! "Please, just stop!" Do. Not. Cry! I can't take the guilt anymore. "Just go. Please!" The first tears fall as the door slams shut. I'm betraying him by wanting his close friend. Even though I try to fight, I can't resist him. I hate it! I hate him, but mostly hate myself for the desire I have for the one man I shouldn't. How did everything get so out of my control?

The story may sound common but its not. Its different and fresh. Its also my first story, so I'm open to any of your suggestions. :) "Go England !! " shouted Brandon. He was always like this : cricket enthusiast. Meet BRANDON, He loves cricket and he is loved by all. Of course why wouldn't he be, he was just too much fun. Living in the outskirts of London with his adopted but extremely caring mother, he lived a wonderful life like any working Britisher of London. Drinks, nightlife, party, friends, a satisfying job – he had everything in his world of fantasy but all would have been incomplete without one person ,Sia, his best friend. Where on one side Brandon was a carefree-enthusiastic and flirtatious bachelor, Sia was a calm ,sensible (compared to Brandon) and hard working girl. Both of them are best friends for 18 years. They shared each and every part of their lives and promised to stay with each other no matter what. All of their friends thought, that their friendship would end up in to love and then marriage, but those two had other plans apart from each other. Hatred, frowns, shouting, caring, laughter -kept these two individual lives together in the good and bad times, but with all the goof ups and incidences ,one question was always stuck in their minds, ”YOU + ME = ??”
