With the anniversary of the death of the love of my life looming, I’m a shell of the person I was years ago. Everyone thinks two years is enough grief time and that it’s time for me to join the land of the living. Only thing is I have no idea how to let go of Blake he was my whole world the only man I’ve ever known. It’s time for Emily to open her eyes and see what has been looking at her for over half her life. No one knows that I fell in love with her way before Blake ever saw her.

I had my whole life mapped out in front of me from childhood. I was going to marry my best friend, and we were going to have a perfect life together until we grew old and died together. Funny how life isn’t so simple as we would like it to be. Marrying my childhood best friend seemed like everything was going to be perfect. One night, my best friend, my love, my husband was snatched away from me in a blink of an eye by death himself. After a year, I sold everything and moved away from our home, our past, to start anew. 

Emily was born into a world of hate, drugs, abuse, and human trafficking. She’s always worked hard to stay on the honor roll in school and to get a free ride to college. She wants nothing more than to make her way out of the life she was born into. Emily has dark secrets that she believes only her best friend Ginger Gold knows about. She’s also been crushing on the one man no one can touch: Blake Shaw, the biggest playboy in Davenport, Georgia.

Sabrina Willow is a marketing executive with her life in order, except for her love life - it’s awful. Every blind date is a mess, and the last man stood her up. That was until she met the bull rider in the bar. Both are drowning their sorrows in a bottle of tequila, and one night of drunken sex will change their lives forever.

Spending 18 summers at my Nana’s farm has been the highlight of my life. Learning how to work everything has taken many summers of trial and error, but it’s a passion. Doesn’t hurt that the Peak Farm adjoins hers, and their oldest son is just a few years older than me. He’s always helped me learn to do everything, including climbing trees and how to swim.

Jade: Taking my seat as head of the family at 20 was never the plan. But as luck would have it my father was killed, leaving me to take care of our family. Getting married had never been part of my plan no matter what my father had expected of me. Meeting my contract wife put me on the fast track of finding any loop-hole to get out of the deal; even if it will destroy her reputation for life. Can two people from the same world make a contract marriage into a lifetime love match?

Losing the love of my life the summer before we were set to go off to college together destroyed me beyond repair. James committed suicide weeks before we were to start our lives together, leaving me broken and haunted by the "what ifs" of life. There just wasn’t any way I could attend the college we chose together, and I was certain there wasn’t another option at what most would call last minute. When another University agreed to take me, I packed up my car and headed to the Sunshine state.

Falling in love with the goodie-goodie in school was never supposed to happen. Watching her in the color guard all summer long on the field during football practice makes me want her no matter what. She's the type of girl the preppy girls pick on but she's truly a beautiful girl. She keeps me at arm’s length no matter what I do. She’s convinced I’m just another stupid jock who likes to party too much and play games on and off the field. Convincing the prettiest girl in school to give me a chance forever changes the courses of our lives.

Lusting after my husband is a gift, I don’t take it lightly, and I’m totally committed to the craft. With the lust, comes the green-eyed monster, a monster I hide from Eric at all costs. Enter Fiona and her six-inch pumps. She's determined to take what is mine without hesitation, but our marriage is everything to me. I won't go down without a fight.

Gaber Mercer. Singer, rockstar, asshole. He's the one thing from my past I've tried to forget. He is famous now. A rock god. I'm happy being a nobody...and I wanted to keep it that way. I thought I was succeeding until I came face-to face with him, once more.

Losing everything has a way of messing with a girl's head, forcing her to seek comfort in the arms of a man she doesn't really want. I know this. In a fit of devastation, I hand my virginity off to another and then marry him, leaving the burning love of my life in ashes. But the thing about fire is that even among the ashes, ember burns, and all it takes is the perfect kindling to reignite a blazing inferno.

It’s been four, long, and painfully single years since my drunken hookup with Mr. Blue Eyes. His fading memory and unrealistic fantasies have sustained me thus far, but I’m lonely, tired of being the strong one while everything falls apart. After making a deal with my mom, I jump back into the dating pool and come up for air with Derek. He’s sexy, funny, sweet - everything I could possibly want in a man, both for myself and my daughter. For the first time in my life, I’m excited about the future.

Treatment began immediately, and proved to be as brutal on Shae emotionally as it was physically. Adding salt to the wound, her movie producer husband missed the “in sickness and health” part of their vows and left her when she needed him most.
