And they burn through me, making me want to break rules. I didn't know what to do. I was getting distracted and nothing else mattered except more of Phoenix. This was going to end bad for me. I can’t lose my once in a lifetime chance. At some point I need to stop everything with Phoenix and focus on winning. But part of me doesn’t want too and that’s bad news. But what happened when the curtains fell wasn’t ever on my radar of possibilities...

There’s Michael. His last name is Irons. He plays major leagues and he’s the father of my son. Every instinct told me to take our boy and run. I hadn’t known his name or how to get in touch with him the past six years. Now not only does he see me in the stand, it takes him a glance at my boy and he knows the truth. It was like fate brought us to this point, but he climbed into the fan benches to talk and flirt. I told myself it was just about our son, but alone, our conversations are getting heated. I didn’t expect our magical memory would be burned in his brain. Or he’d want me again. All I wanted was a quiet life to raise my son. Ball players are dangerous.

Jacob wasn’t supposed to be the one.

His proposal for a temporary marriage comes with demands but it’s not like I have other plans. I never expected to fall in love though and when our stars collided I think it might have shined to bright. You’d never have expected what happened because I absolutely hadn’t.

Love strikes when it strikes, right? Yeah right. I never believed that and planned to move on… So I went to pick up my foster kid I decided to adopt. I had the papers, but I hadn’t expected the cowboy that gets in my way. Carter had been best man at the kid’s parents wedding. And until recently he’d been overseas, serving the country. And my new daughter prefers his ranch. I should just leave. The caseworkers have no clear answer for me. But those kisses under the bright moon send sweet tingles on my lips.

I’ve been called a hypocrite. I hate that. I mean I give advice for clean, healthy living for a living, but when I let it slip to my fans that I’ve never been in love, I’m starting to wonder if anything I believe is real. They are right. I’ve never let loose. Enter Ryder, a European prince of some small country near France and Italy. He’s a notorious womanizer, and supposedly wicked in bed so the rumors state as facts. And he’s decided I’m perfect for him. He’s perfect for me right now. I’ve never met a man so magnetically attractive. He’s all muscles and his face just makes me grow goosebumps when I’m in the same room with him. Do I try to live a little or should I follow my own advice and run? True love doesn’t come from sex. I mean I practically wrote the blog on that. And nothing about my feelings for Ryder are good for clean living. I’m absolutely paralyzed on what I should do and I never expected what happened in the end.

Dreamlist Move to England… check Visit everything Jane Austen… check Get engaged… that went spectacularly horrible. Mr. Wrong was sleeping with my ex-flatmate and they ran off to be married. But I had my flat, my fun and I’d sworn I’d be fine… And then Mr. Scottish Seducer showed up. Now I’m making a new list of everything wrong with Charlie Grannd. 1\. He kisses like the devil is here for me. 2\. He makes my ex upset. 3\. He sees right through me. Beep. Even this list must be wrong. He’s arrogant, bossy, and demanding. My pulse shouldn’t race. There is absolutely no way we’d ever get together. And when it happened once, it must be a one time thing, right? Scottish business can’t be trusted, but what happened when we can’t stop and I stop writing my diary? Honestly I didn’t see happily-ever-after possible.

Two Step Sisters, check. One Evil Step mother, check again. Prince and a ball though… now that’s a silly fantasy, right? Okay technically my family has been invited to a billionaire wedding. My cousin is having a three day affair. My step-family now wants to claim Steel, my last name, as their family relationship. Sure my father had married my stepmother, but at best we pretend to be family. Otherwise this summer is my last summer before college begins and I move out, forever. Scholarships are set. What I didn’t expect was Edward Donovan. He’s everything I hate in a man, spoiled, rich, and believes the world should worship him. So why is he asking me to dance? And why is my heart racing. This will never last though. Fairy tales never do. Except my eyelids are fluttering closed and my heart races when he guides me in these dances. t might not be a happily ever after—but maybe being happy for even one night will sustain me.

I only have one shot to success. Wrestling. My parents died. My stepmother had kicked me out, but that’s fine. It’s the past. And I’d been training since. Soon I’ll prove it in the Olympics that I’m the best. Then the paycheck from the professional league will only add to the proof. I will win. The only part of the plan I hate was losing Vanessa. In high school, she’d been my rock, until my world fell apart. But when my kid sister needed me, I found her. And I decided to take her to our cousin’s wedding. I hadn’t thought Vanessa would be a bridesmaid. Now I’m glad I came. We’re adults now and a wedding is a good place to win her back. She’s holding back though and she clearly has a secret. Weddings are intimate affairs though and our chemistry is still off the charts. When I find out her secret though everything might change, but I am making it known I still love only her. If she’ll take a chance on me, then I’ll show her that she’ll never have a worry, ever again.
