I won't settle for love. Love isn't enough. Standing in front of a classy boutique, I'm window shopping for a sexy black dress. I'm in search of the perfect "single again" gift to somehow, some way, make me forget the last year ever happened. From this day forward, it's all about me. I will no longer give myself away to a man that doesn't appreciate me. I intend to enjoy this newfound freedom to the fullest. My favorite earring slipping from my ear shatters that wish. When I turn around to find handsome, elegantly dressed, Rusty von Strauss holding my favorite piece of jewelry in his hand, my constitution slowly slips away. Looking into his ocean blue eyes, I immediately know that Rusty is a one-man wrecking crew. He finds his way in, breaks down my walls, and makes me believe in magic again. But, will his biggest secret ruin all the love we've made? KaylaEverything was going great. Until I fell for her. A stray piece of jewelry lying on the ground gives me a unique opportunity. It's ridiculously presumptuous of me, but I have to find out if she'll, at least, have a cup of coffee with me. The view from behind her is impeccable, but I wait patiently to get a full glimpse of the beauty that accompanies her lusciously long, ebony legs. When Kayla Johnson faces me, I'm in awe of the way her beauty strikes me. But that's all it is-a fleeting feeling. Right? Nothing that will last past that coffee, dinner, and an all-nighter at my penthouse. After losing my one true love, I made an oath to never love again. My resolve is stronger than ever. I refuse to fall into the trap of that L-thing. Giving my heart away yields consequences I'm not willing to pay. If all of this is true, then why does the thought of never holding Kayla in my arms rattle my core?
