Emerson My Never stay in one place too long. At the age of eighteen, I left my home in California to travel the world like my twin sister and I had planned to do since we were kids and before the accident happened. Now, after eight years, I find myself reluctantly returning home to face the haunting memories of the past. Money is running out, and my brother, Adam, has made it clear that he won't support me any longer unless I agree to settle down in one place. He arranged for me to stay with his best friend while he was out of town and his house was being renovated. Little did I know that this would be the start of a life-altering encounter with billionaire Alex Parker—a strikingly handsome yet arrogantly controlling man who believed he could dictate my choices. Well, he had another thing coming. Alex Emerson James was exactly as her brother had warned—mouthy and defiant. She embodied a free spirit, seemingly careless with her life. Definitely not the type I usually went for, despite her undeniable beauty. I preferred dating women of a certain upper-class status—those who knew how to remain composed and excelled in their careers. I thought I had everything I wanted in life and didn't need anything else. Or so I thought, until Emerson came crashing into my world, disrupting everything. She was on the brink of another adventure, and I was determined to convince her to settle down in one place—with me. 18+
