"You know, Sophie," he began, his voice low and hesitant, "whenever I see a girl cry, I usually walk away. I can't handle it. But when I see you cry..." His words faltered, and he glanced down, gathering the courage to continue. After a steadying breath, he lifted his gaze back to mine. "When I see you cry, all I want to do is pull you into my arms and make sure you know everything is going to be alright." His confession hung in the air, his intense gaze searching my face. The vulnerability in his voice sent a wave of emotion crashing over me, and before I could stop it, a single tear escaped, trailing down my cheek. He reached out, his touch achingly gentle, and wiped it away with his thumb, his fingers lingering as if to reassure me without words. And in that moment, I broke. I collapsed into his arms, letting his warmth shield me from the cold ache inside. With him here, holding me like this, it felt as if the entire world had finally aligned, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I wasn't alone.

***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain. *** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.
