Amelia
I grew up in a small town, but I never wanted to stay. Somehow I never fit in, not until I got a job waitressing at a strip club and found the real me while away from home in college. Working there had two drawbacks. One—no way could I tell my parents what I was doing. Two—no way was I ever going to trust a man again. Not that I’ve been actively looking for a man because really, while I want a family one day, right now is not the time for that. I’ve graduated college, gotten a decent job at a normal company, but I’ve yet to give up the club.
I’ve no intention to make any changes to my life until I���m almost forced to when my worlds collide. After narrowly avoiding my little secret from being the talk of the town, I decided to head to an even bigger city—New York. Even with the higher price tags, I still have enough set aside to get me through, plus a job with a sister company. My life is looking up—until it doesn’t any longer.
Having my job eliminated was not fun but landing a new one thanks to having worked for Lemans, which the big boss is trying to buy out, makes up for it. As does the big boss—Rafe Gordon. He’s gorgeous and amazing and everything I ever wanted—and he wants me too. So why do I feel like running when everything inside me says to stay close? Especially after meeting his daughter Maggie. She steals my heart as quickly as Rafe did, but something in my past won’t let me be content.
Facing the past is never easy, especially when it involves the heart, but Rafe won’t let me run. He wants me as his entirely, and so, I head home to deal with the one thing I refused to years ago. Except doing so, may just unleash a danger I never anticipated, taking me from Rafe anyway.
