A hungry reporter. An angry executive. A man about to lose everything. And a family just fit to take the fall...until it all goes up in flames.

She's beautiful, she's smart, she's hard-working, but Liz is also a bartender, a single mama, and an adult student. She's none of the right things for me, and yet she's everything I never knew that I was looking for. I'm so wrapped up in business affairs that I haven't got a second to stop and let this happen, but all the same, I find myself with her. Problem is, she's as stubborn as I am, and the last thing she wants is me. Liz thinks I'm not what she needs, and she's right, until I'm everything, and I'm the only one that can save the one thing that she's ever cared for since the moment it came into her life.

Bryn's a decent guy, sure. But he's, like, a bajillionaire, and I so don't want to be one of them types. After my deadbeat ex left me and Nate alone, I don't want another man hanging around here, pretending like he wants to be here. After everything that this family has been through, I'm done with men, and I don't need them, anyway. I've got everything I have from working hard, and it's going to stay that way. But when Nate takes a liking to him, it makes it all that much harder to say no. And when Bryn starts to show his true colors, even when he thinks I'm not watching, well, that sure sweetens the pot.

And then he does something so brave, so true, so meaningful, that I don't have a choice but to give in...until a little stick tells me otherwise.
