He can taste success. She’s hiding behind her love of the "single" life. Tonight’s the debut; Seattle’s the stage. Alder’s company, DjinnX Gaming, is launching the most anticipated game platform of the year. After all his and his team’s hard work, every last piece is in place. When he wakes up tomorrow, his face will be on the cover of every major newspaper. Social media will be chirping with the news. Alder’s blood is thrumming with the high his success is bringing. He’d moved to the West Coast on his own, away from his family in Minnesota. He wanted to make his own mark, and now, here he is—in America’s spotlight. Finally. So, when the reporter asks if he has a special someone, why does he flash back to a time in Germany? To Jordan, and the fling they shared a million miles away? Marriage, while great for some, is not in Jordan’s vocabulary. She had a magical interlude with Alder while attending her best friend’s wedding in Germany. For the event, she took an extended leave from her portfolio management job to tour Europe. But now she’s returned to Minnesota and work, sun-kissed from her time in sthe Greek isles—Santorini and Mykonos had been her absolute faves! On the first day back in the office, she arrives just in time for her best friend to receive an emergency text. Jordan starts trembling when she reads the name on the Alder.
