A Standalone Novella At 39, Remington (Remy) Lennox married Emory McNeil. They’ve been friends for two years – married for one of those years. He told her the marriage was strictly for business reasons and that they'd keep it between themselves while remaining friends. That the rest of the Lennox family doesn't have to know. What he doesn’t tell Emory is, he’s deeply in love with her. She thinks they’re only friends, but he worships the ground she walks on. Still, he keeps his feelings at bay, that is until he feels like his younger brother, Giovanni is moving in on his territory. Now, Remington knows he must CLAIM his woman and let her know his true feelings. Keeping their "arrangement" a secret is no longer an option.

A last-minute family trip to New York at the end of December is a frosty reunion Lavina isn’t too thrilled about – at least, not in the beginning. But then… A surprise from Drake on the first day of the year has her full of joy because she knows her life is about to change forever.
