<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">True Love Waits is short and sweet. You'll want to
read this to whet your appetite for the sequel, True Love Endures. This short
story is a nice little introduction into a bigger story that continues with
Brad Mason...who is super hot, btw...and Marti Willis, the sexy little number
the hottest guy in town has waited for for over a decade. But, she has a secret
and doesn't want to bother Brad with the terrible details of it and definitely
doesn't want to burden him by getting involved with him...again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

years. Both have changed but their love has never dies. Undying love and a
belief in fate makes this story an enjoyable read.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

benefits" off and on about six years ago. She developed feelings for Brad
and because of this, she left...moved away, for she knew that his heart
belonged to Marti Willis and she just couldn't compete with that. She also,
secretly had strong feelings for Johnny Moreland. Lisa has a kind heart, but is
stubborn and strong willed. Her independence is one of her strongest qualities.
She has never married and has a four year old son, Andrew, whom is the only man
in her life, besides her step father. She can be generous at times, but, for the most part is reserved
and finds it hard to trust and open up to people. Her heart has a strong wall
built around it and she always has her guard up when it comes to men. Dating is
not one of her favorable diversions. </span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><i>Marti Willis left her hometown of Leesburg, Virginia
eleven years ago to chase her life time dream of becoming an editor at one of
the most prominent publishing companies in New York. After graduating from NYU,
she landed her dream job and married a friend from college. After six years of
a rocky marriage and learning she couldn't have children, she divorced her
husband and moved back home to take over her mother’s book store. Running into
her old flame, Brad Mason, was foremost on her mind. They had been madly in
love when she left for New York and Brad wanted to marry her. But his life was
in Leesburg, so Marti made the tough decision to break ties with Brad and
pursue her dream. The fact is, she's never stopped thinking about Brad and how
much she wished she'd stayed. But not being able to have kids was something she
didn't want for him. He had his heart set on having a family and she couldn't
take that away from him. He'd be much better off without her.<br />
<br />
Brad Mason had never loved any other woman but Marti Willis. He kept up with
her life through her mother. When he learned that Marti and her husband
divorced, he knew deep down that she would come back to him and they would be
together. He began making plans for their future before he'd even seen or heard
from her. He'd always known they were meant to be together. It was just a
matter of time, and now that she's returning to Leesburg, the time has come to
claim her as his own once again. His patience has paid off and now he can have
the family he's always wanted.<br />
<br />
When Brad and Marti come face to face, the old flame ignites uncontrollably and
Marti finds herself struggling to keep her distance from him. Brad is
relentless in his pursuit of her and all he can think of is taking her home
with him and never letting her go again.<br />
<br />
Marti falls under Brads spell and into his bed only to break his heart once
again with the revelation that she can't have children. Brad is shocked and
speechless, causing Marti to run away in despair and with yet another broken
heart.<br />
<br />
Will Brad be able to overlook having a family and love only Marti, or will his
dream of having a family tear their love apart for good?<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Excerpt:<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Marti was getting very
tired on her long drive back home to Leesburg, Virginia from New York. She hadn’t had a good night sleep in two
months and her nerves were a jumbled mess.
Her recent divorce from her husband of six years and leaving her job as
an editor, at one of the most prestigious publishing companies in the state of
New York, didn’t help matters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Her mother owned the
local bookstore in town and was struggling to run it by herself. Marti agreed to move back home and help her
with it, hoping she could talk her into retiring. Marti could use the change in pace. She always loved working in the store with
her mom and dad. Her dad died her
sophomore year in college and her Aunt Maggs helped her mom with the store for
a while. She was her mom’s older sister
by ten years. When she developed Dementia
last year, she moved into the Senior Center and was unable to help at the
bookstore.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Marti sighed and
glanced at her Golden Retriever sitting in the passenger seat taking in the
sights. “Well, Dixie, we’re almost
home.” Dixie looked at her with her
tongue hanging out and smiling lovingly at Marti, or at least she liked to
think she was smiling at her. Marti
stroked Dixie’s head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“It’s just you and me,
now, kiddo.” She scratched behind the
yellow dog’s floppy ear. “You, me and
mom.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">She smiled when she saw
the little café just outside of town.
Memories came flooding back to the last time she was there, sitting in
the corner booth with <i>him</i>, her first
love, Brad Mason. She sighed with regret
as she remembered their last words.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“You’ll forget about me and fall in love with
someone else.” </span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Brad had said as he held her left hand with both of
his across the table, his fingers running across the gold ring on her finger<i>. “No,
I won’t.” </i>Marti argued, placing her
other hand on top of his<i>. “I love you, Brad. And I will never love anyone else!”</i> She squeezed his hands tight. <i>“Come
with me! We could marry and live in New
York!”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Brad dropped his gaze
to their hands, then brought it up to look deep into her eyes. <i>“My
life is here, Marti. I’m starting my new
job tomorrow. It’s what I’ve always
known I would do. It will get me to
where I want to be. I want to own my own
company, get out of my father’s shadow.’’<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Marti smiled as a tear
fell down her left cheek. <i>“I know.”
</i>She sniffled, knowing that this was good bye for them. <i>“I’m
not coming back, Brad.” </i>His brows
furrowed. <i>“What do you mean, you’re not coming back? What about us? I want to marry you, Marti.” </i>Marti couldn’t look at him. She hadn’t told him she wanted to stay in New
York after she graduated and work for Wisdom House Publishing. Her hands started shaking and she felt
nauseated. She didn’t want to leave
Brad, but she’d dreamt of living in New York since she was six years old. <i>“I’m
sorry, Brad. You know I’ve dreamed of
living in New York. I just thought,
maybe, you would come with me.”</i> She
sighed heavily as his eyes closed in disappointment.<i> “I understand if you don’t. Let’s not fight about it now. We can talk about it later. I have four years at NYU to get through. Who knows how I will feel about New York
after that?” </i>She shrugged, not
believing she would ever want to move back here after living in the Big Apple.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Marti snorted. “So much for not moving back home,
huh?’’ She asked Dixie as she pulled up
to the café. She pulled her brush from
her purse and brushed out her long fine blonde hair. “I’m hungry.
How ‘bout you?” She turned to
face the dog and tousled her head playfully.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Bet you could stand to
take a quick walk, too, huh?’’ Dixie let
out a bark in agreement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Marti stood next to the
oak tree daydreaming about Brad kissing her for the first time behind it as
they hid from their parents. It seemed a
lifetime ago since they were fifteen and crazy in love. She giggled as she ran her fingers along the
indention in the bark, remembering him carving their names on the old tree a
week later. <i>How did things go so wrong between us?
</i>She thought regretfully. <i>If I had only come back, we’d probably be
married with five kids.</i> She
snickered. <i>Yeah, right! I can’t even have
kids!</i> Tears welled in her eyes as
she softly caressed Brad’s name then the forever he’d promised her so long
ago. <i>He
was better off without me.</i> She told
herself with a heavy heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Marti?” A man called from the parking lot. Marti looked up with wide eyes and saw him
climbing off a Harley and slowly walking toward her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Brad.” She whispered under her breath.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Brad caressed her
shoulder and kissed the top of her head, breathing in the scent of strawberry
in her soft hair. He lifted onto one
elbow and looked down at her with a lazy smile, brushing his fingertips across
her forehead and down her cheek.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Welcome home,
Marti.” She smiled sheepishly. “I’ve missed you so much.” He said softly. Marti could only smile and gaze into his big
blue eyes. Brad smiled. “You know I’m never gonna let you go, don’t
you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">She smiled crookedly
and twisted the hair from the light patch on his chest. “I’m sorry, Brad, for everything.” She murmured.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He softly pressed his
finger to her lips. “Shh. I won’t have any of that. Let’s leave the past where it belongs. We belong here, now. And, now we can have a future together.” He slid his hand down between her breasts and
down to her belly. He leaned over to
kiss her just above her belly button.
“And, now we can have a family.”
He didn’t see the terror in her eyes.
He was staring at her belly while caressing it. “I can’t wait to see you carrying our baby.” He chuckled and turned to face her while
saying, “Of course, not right away. I’m
not ready to share…” He stopped as he noticed
the fear in her eyes and how pale her face was.
He felt her trembling. He sat up
quickly, kneeling beside her with her face in his hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Marti? What’s wrong?” He caressed her temple with his thumb. “Did I hurt you? Are you sick?” She just looked ahead, staring at nothing in
particular. Brad began to panic. “Marti?
Please, baby, talk to me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Marti looked at him
with a blank expression. “Marti, sweetheart,
you’re scaring me, please!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Tears fell down her
cheeks as her eyes focused on his. “Oh
Brad. I love you so much.” She stared at his face for a moment and
watched his fear turn into a smile. She
hated that she would take that beautiful smile away from him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“I love you, too,
Marti.” He said happily as he embraced
her. She pushed him away and confusion
swept over him like a dark cloud.
“Marti?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">She took a deep breath
and prepared herself for the blow.
“Brad, we don’t have a future together.”
His face dropped and he went pale.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“What?” His eyes shifted from left to right in panic. “There’s no reason why we can’t, Marti. I love you, you love me. You’re divorced and now living here. What possible reason would you have for
saying that?” When she looked away, he
thought he understood. “Is there someone
else? Again?” He asked in anger and tremendous fear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“No. Of course not.” She said surprised he thought that she would
sleep with him if she was with someone else.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Brad narrowed his eyes
at her. “You aren’t considering going
back to Mark, are you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“No.” She snapped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">His mood softened and
he cupped her neck. “Then, why would you
think we have no future together? What’s
holding you back?” He asked with a
comforting smile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Marti sighed and rolled
off the bed, taking the sheet with her and wrapping it around her. "The reason Mark and I split up was
because I can’t have children.” She
muttered softly, turning her back on him.
Brad started to stand, but froze at her revelation. Marti winced at the silence, knowing that
everything had just changed with that one statement. Without looking his way, she collected her
clothes and disappeared into the bathroom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Brad sat there, shocked
that he would never have a beautiful little blonde princess that looked just
like Marti, or a blue eyed slugger of a son that wanted to be just like his
daddy. His dream of a family with Marti
had just been crushed. He stood and
pulled his sweats on that he had laid out before his shower and went to the
kitchen for a drink. He knew he should
go to Marti, but he needed a few minutes to process this news. Its life changing and he needed to clear his
head before he could possibly take one more step forward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Marti stood in front of
the mirror staring at herself blankly.
She’d realized that Brad had clammed up like he always did when he was
deciding whether to be angry or not. One
thing about Brad was his level headed thinking.
He always thought before he spoke, especially in sticky situations. He was known for not ever jumping the
gun. She knew he was assessing the
situation and his final conclusion would be to find someone else who could have
his children, just like Mark did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">She quickly dressed and
splashed her face with cold water. If
she knew Brad, he was standing in the den at the fireplace, one of his calm
places to think, so she would sneak out the back door undetected and leave him
to his thoughts and his decision without her interference. The idea of a life without Brad she’d gotten
used to, but now it seemed so much harder than eleven years ago when she left
him behind. She knew this was it for
them, there was no returning from this.
Her heart was breaking and she wasn’t sure she’d ever recover.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span>

<div class="MsoNormal">

brother and fiancé on the anniversary of their deaths for the last four years.
While drowning in her sorrows at a friend’s club, a very tall, dark and </span>handsome stranger asks her to dance. Mistakenly thinking he is the guy her best
friend has been trying relentlessly to set her up with for months, she tells
him just what she thinks of him and his womanizing ways that he is notorious
for. But, to her horror, she learns that he isn't that man, and apologizes. One
thing leads to another and she finds herself agreeing to a one night stand with
this handsome stranger. After a night of the hottest sex she's ever had,
Katherine finds herself wishing she could have more of him. But, no strings
attached was what he wanted. How can she get over the loss of the only other
man she's ever been with other than her fiancé? The way he made her feel was
incredible and it was tormenting her and her heart was aching for one more
night with him.</div>

Jonathan Wolfe had been searching for his long lost sister, Juliana for the
last four years. He and his brother Jonas had finally tracked her down in
Texas. After a night of celebrating with her and her friends, Jonathan found
himself in need of some release that he'd been denying himself of until they
found Jules. He had his eye on a certain brunette at the bar who seemed to be
alone. After being rudely rejected, he tried to find another woman that would
suit his needs, but he desperately wanted her for some strange reason and no
one else. After salvaging what was an obvious misunderstanding, Jonathan took
her to his hotel for a night of reckless abandon. Surprisingly, it was more
than that to him and he wanted more of this raving beauty in his arms. But, he
lived far away and would be leaving soon. He found his heart breaking to let
her walk out of his life. If only he had one more night with her.<br />
<br />
Will fate step in and bring these two together once more, or will unsuspecting
dangers that linger with Jonathan's family keep them from coming together?<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt:<o:p></o:p></span></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Jonathan stood under the
hot shower, deep in thought about his near future<i>. Could Katherine be the one?</i>
<i>Will
she still see me if I stay here, permanently? Or is this only temporary for her?</i> He sighed. <i>I hope
not. I hope she feels the same way I do
about her. She says she does, but how do
I know it isn't just lust, after so long without a man?</i> As he rinsed himself off, his heart felt
heavy. <i>The truth is I think I'm actually falling for her.</i> He felt nauseated thinking she may not feel
the same. He had decided that, even if
they didn't continue seeing each other, he still wanted to be closer to Jules. Moving to Texas was his final decision. He only hoped that Katherine would be happy
about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He dried himself off,
pulled on his jeans and walked down the hall.
He could smell the delicious aroma of bacon. He breathed in and sighed. <i>Damn,
that smells good.</i> He thought. He had grown very hungry and hoped he didn't
have to wait much longer to eat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He stopped at the end
of the hallway when he caught a glimpse of Katherine, dancing around the
kitchen to “<i>I Like It</i>” by Enrique
Iglesias. He cocked his head as she bent
over to take something from the oven. She
turned around with a pan of biscuits in her hand and sat them on the bar. She looked up and smiled at him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Just in time! Everything's ready!” She said cheerfully. She went to the fridge. “You like orange juice?” She asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Sure.” He said, watching every little move she made. She was still wearing her black silk robe with
a black and white cow spotted apron over it. Her hair was pinned up and she was bare foot. She was as beautiful as he'd ever seen her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Katherine sat the juice
on the bar and took off her apron. She
noticed he was wearing only his jeans. His chest was fabulously muscled and his bare
feet were even sexy. She wondered what
it would be like if she could see him like that every day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Sit. Help yourself to whatever you want.” She smiled. She sat on the stool next to him and grabbed a
plate with fried eggs. She handed them
to him. “Hard fried, as you requested.” She said cheerfully.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He forked three onto
his plate. “These look perfect.” He grabbed a handful of bacon and a biscuit. She handed him the white gravy and when he
reached for it, their hands touched. He
smiled crookedly at her and spooned the gravy onto his split biscuit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“This looks amazing, Katherine.
Do you cook often?” He asked, wanting to know more about her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">She snickered. “When there's someone to cook for, yes. I cook all the time when Harley's here. Peter and Ty sometimes come over for dinner.” She smiled as she took a bite of bacon. “Peter comes over once a week. Ty, more like once or twice a month. He has Sam to keep him busy, now.” She chuckled as she took a bite of her egg. “She was the gorgeous model on the boat with
the string bikini and the killer body. I
think they'll end up getting married.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Jonathan looked at her.
“And, that's a good thing?” He asked curiously.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Oh yes.” She said taking a sip of juice. “Sam's great! Ty really loves her, too. I think they make a great couple.” She smiled as she looked up at nothing in
particular. “Between those two, they'll
have the most beautiful kids.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Jonathan smiled,
chewing a piece of bacon and watching her. He loved how she smiled shyly and pulled a
lock of hair behind her ear when she was embarrassed. She looked so adorable when she did that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Katherine looked at Jonathan.
“Do you like kids?” She asked, wanting to know more about him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Yes.” He said, almost sadly. “I was hoping to have at least one by now.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Katherine frowned. “But, you were too busy looking for your
sister?” She asked sympathetically.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He nodded and
swallowed. “Yes. I've had to put my life on hold for her.” He looked up at Katherine. “Not that she wasn't worth it, she is. I just saw myself married at this point in my
life. Either with one or two kids or at
least one on the way.” He bowed his
head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He looked so sad. Katherine felt like crying. She wanted to be married by now, too. Maybe, not with kids, yet. But, with in the next few years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“I'm sorry things
haven't turned out the way you planned.” She whispered. “Looks like we have that in common.” She said sadly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Yes. I guess we do.” He murmured. He pushed his plate away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Katherine's eyes grew
wide. “You didn't like it?” She asked, panicked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“It's not that. I'm just not as hungry as I thought I was.” He said softly. “I guess I should be going. It's late and I'm sure Jonas is wondering
where I am.” He lied. Jonas didn't care where he was, as long as he
stayed out of his business. He was
probably busy with some girl he picked up at a bar. The truth was, Jonathan was depressed at the
thought of how his plans had failed. He
felt so lonely all of a sudden. Katherine
was probably using him to get back into the swing of dating again. Not that he blamed her. She needed to. She probably didn't realize she was using him.
She'd been without a man for so long she
would think she was falling in love with the first one to warm her bed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Katherine's heart was
breaking. <i>What just happened?</i> She
wondered. <i>I assumed he'd stay the night. Now he wants to leave?</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Did I do something
wrong, Jonathan?” She asked frantically.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He looked at her
surprised. “Oh, no! Of course, you didn't. You've done everything just right.” He sighed. “I guess that's why I'm so down on myself. I wanted to have a wife to cook for me and to
make love to every night. Someone to
love, and who'd love me in return.” He
saw the pity in her eyes. He didn't want
her pity or anyone else’s. “I'm sorry, Katherine.
I think it's best if I just leave.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“But, why?” Katherine asked. “Do you not really care about me? Did you just say that?” She said with tears in her eyes. “You said you didn't play games, Jonathan! What are you doing, now? First, you tell me you care about me, enough
to move here to be with me, now you think its best that you leave? Why?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Jonathan was caught off
guard with her boldness. “I do care
about you, Katherine. Maybe a little too
much! Maybe it's scaring the hell out of
me just how much I care for you!” He ran
his fingers through his hair. “We met the
day before yesterday and I'm almost positive that I'm falling in love with you!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“And, that's a reason
to leave?” She shouted. “That sounds like a reason to stay, to me, Jonathan!”
She scowled. “And, what about how I feel? Have you even once thought to ask me how I
feel about you?” She stood and took her
plate to the sink. She turned around
sharply. “Don’t you even care that,
maybe, just maybe, I feel the same way about you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

told her to come to. It was a frame house, not very big and poorly kept. The
grass was cut, but, the house itself was badly in need of a few coats of paint
and some lumber replaced. There were holes in the wooden porch and the windows
looked to be at least fifty years old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

looking as hot as ever in only a pair on faded jeans and barefoot. He stepped
forward, his blue eyes dark and wicked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“Julia, my honey pot!” He cried as he pulled her

arms-length. “My, my, you look good enough to eat, my sweet little muffin.” He
smiled crookedly at her. “Come in, come in, the show’s about to start.” He said
in excitement. “Of course, we had to wait for the star of the show to arrive.
And, you're just in time...The rest of the cast is ready and waiting.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

remind you whom has rights and whom doesn't.” He chided.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">She followed him downstairs into the basement. He'd
turned it into hell on earth, just like his house in Oklahoma. He had all the
usual bondage apparatus....a Pandora's chest with two slanted poles standing on
one end, a power pole with spreaders and a bed with a hard, leather mattress.
On one wall hung whips, floggers and canes. Next to those was a chest with four
drawers. She knew what was in them. All sorts of torture devices and cuffs,
binding cords, gags, collars, and who knows what else. On the far wall, she saw
Clay...bound to a cross, completely naked and blindfolded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">She gasped. “Clay.” She whispered. “Oh God, no!” She
started to run to him, but, David stopped her with a riding crop at her waist.
He just shook his head at her. She understood what he'd do if she defied him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">David laughed. “Well, Simon says we should take off
Mr. Sharp's blindfold so he can meet his co-star.” He said madly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“Let him go, David. Please!” She cried. “I'll do

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Clay raised his head, listening closely. <i>Juliana? She knows this man?</i> He thought,

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“Oh, you'll do anything I want, anyway...won't you,
my sweet little kernel?” He laughed. He walked over to Clay and ran his hands
along the sides of his chest and down his abs to his hips. He slapped his butt
and laughed at Jules.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">First Sight is about a young woman who has taken the vow of
abstinence until marriage. That was fine
and dandy until she met the love of her life.
Upon learning of her innocence, he tries to respect her decision, but,
struggles with the constant temptations she radiates toward him at every
turn. Both do the best they can to fight
the urge to give in and let their cravings for one another overtake their
sanity. Exploring the pleasures of the
flesh without actually taking her virtue becomes a regularity as the couple
fall more in love with each other and become one in every other way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%;">Emma Rhodes is a college graduate on the road to finding her
dream job as an Interior Designer for the perfect company, Malone Enterprises.
She never expected not only to land the perfect job, but to find the perfect
man who happens to be the CEO of the company and the most eligible bachelor in
the state of Texas, Mason Malone. He’s everything she’s ever wanted in a man,
but will he be interested in her when he learns that she’s a virgin and has
always planned to stay that way until marriage? Once she sees the Love Lights
in his eyes, she's sure he's the man God made for her. Her plans take a turn
and she's willing to give him everything, her heart, body and soul.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">
Mason Malone has never been serious about dating any woman exclusively. No
woman has ever treated him as a normal person. All they see is a successful
billionaire playboy that could be their meal ticket to fame and fortune. So,
Mason simply doesn't date much and throws himself into his work. He also never
planned to marry and have a family, but when a young catcher, recruited to play
on the Malone Mavericks softball team at the company picnic, catches his eye,
his plans change almost instantly. Emma Rhodes is everything he's ever wanted
in a woman. She’s beautiful, charming and treats him as a normal human being.
She also has a certain twinkle in her eyes that has him bewitched. She's the
woman he's always dreamed of and he can't believe she actually exists.<br />
Things heat up for the couple the very day they meet, and Mason can't wait to
get her into his bed. But he learns something shocking about his perfect angel
in the heat of the moment, just as he has her where he wants her. She's a
twenty four year old virgin. He wants nothing more than to get her into his
bed, but to take her virtue? He was taught better than that. It’s time to be
the gentleman he was raised to be.<br />
Will Mason be able to resist the constant temptation of making love to his
beautiful angel when he promised her, himself and God that he wouldn't? Will
Emma be able to convince him that she's ready to take the plunge and become a
woman in every sense of the word?<br />
"Love Lights: First Sight" is an amazing story of abstinence and the
struggles of maintaining it when in love, respect from a true gentleman and the
sweetness of true love at first sight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Mason sat in his Bugatti Veyron in the driveway of
Curt and Loris Rhodes’ home. He was nervous, a very unfamiliar feeling to him.
He was used to facing very wealthy, powerful men and debating with them over
contracts. They never intimidated him and he was never nervous. He was in his
element. But, here, now? He couldn't be more terrified. <i>What if her father
doesn't approve of me? What if he tells me never to see his daughter, again?</i> He
chuckled. "Mason Malone, afraid of a girl's father, I must really have it bad
for her." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">He took a deep breath and got out of his car. As he walked up the
curved sidewalk to the modest white brick home, he noticed how well the flower
beds were kept. They were adorned with assorted flowers of all colors and a few
shrubs and bushes. A large covered porch went across the front of the house,
with two round tables with four chairs at each one to the left. On the right
was a white wooden porch swing. He rang the doorbell and waited anxiously. He
heard a dog barking and a woman's voice shushing it. The door opened and a short
thin woman appeared, smiling. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Her hair was short, spiked, and dark blonde with light blonde highlights. She
had a kind face, not at all wrinkled for an older woman. She was quite
beautiful and probably in her late fifties, Mason thought. Her eyes were blue
and she had a beautiful, welcoming smile. “Hello. Can I help you?” She asked
very politely. Mason cleared his throat. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Rhodes. I'm
Mason Malone. I'm...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Oh! Mason?” She cried. “Emma's told me so much about you!” She motioned for him
to enter. “Please! Come in!” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Mason smiled with relief and walked in. He handed
her a small bouquet of orange roses with red tips. “These are for you, Mrs.
Rhodes.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Oh! How lovely! They're my favorite!” She cried as she took them and
sniffed. “And, please call me Loris. Won't you have a seat while I put these in
some water?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Yes. Thank you.” He smiled nervously and took a seat in the den. He heard her
call out to her husband. “Curt, dear! We have a visitor!” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“I'll be right down,
Hun! Gotta put one more piece on Emma's, um, present!” He shouted from
upstairs. Loris walked back in with a crystal vase half full of water with the
roses arranged perfectly. She sat them on the sofa table. “There. Isn't that
lovely?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Yes, ma'am. It is. That's a lovely vase.” He said trying to hide his nerves. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Oh, thank you! We got it as a gift for our silver anniversary with a silver
tea set.” She said grinning as she took a seat. “So, Mason. What brings you
here?” She asked. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Mason blushed. Something he’d never done until he met Emma.
“I've come to speak with your husband about Emma.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Is everything alright?
She's not in any kind of trouble, is she?” She was toying with him. She knew
why he was there. Only one reason for a man to come to speak to a girl's
father. And, after the things Emma had told them, she couldn't be more
delighted. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“No. Of course not.” He said shyly. “I just...” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">They heard footsteps
coming down the stairs. A tall, very fit man of about sixty or so stepped into
the den. “Well, I finally finished! It should be ready to box and wrap in an
hour.” He said smiling. He had thick white, wavy hair slicked back a little and
was clean shaven. He was wearing Levi’s and a button up burgundy shirt and a
pair of brown loafers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Curt, dear. This is Mason Malone. Emma's boyfriend.”
Loris smiled and winked at her husband. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Well.” He smiled brightly and held out
his hand. “It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Mason! Emma's talked about
nothing but you for the past two weeks.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“It's nice to meet you, Mr. Rhodes.”
Mason said, shaking Curt's hand firmly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Curt sat on the sofa and put his arm
around Loris. “So. What brings you here, Mason?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Well, sir. I wanted to speak
to you about Emma.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“I see. And, what would you like to discuss?” Curt asked
not entirely oblivious to his intentions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Well, sir. I've only known Emma a short time. Three weeks and two days, to be
exact.” He said calmly. “I've grown quite fond of her and have gotten to know
her better than I know anyone else.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Curt nodded. “How well do you mean?” He
asked, suspiciously. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Mason smiled nervously. “I mean that we've spent a lot of
time together and have talked about almost everything. Your daughter is a
wonderful person.” He seemed to slip into a daze. “She's beautiful, smart,
kind, loving...” He looked at both of them. “I've fallen deeply in love with
her. And, I'd like to ask your permission for her hand in marriage.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Loris
gazed at him with her mouth dropped and watery eyes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Curt cocked his head and
narrowed his eyes, as if he were burning a hole through Mason's skull. “You've
only known her three weeks and two days. Don't you think it's a little soon for
talk of marriage?” He asked. “I've thought about it and I've counseled with men
whose opinion I value very highly.” He explained. “Mr. Rhodes, I fell in love
with Emma the day we met. I've given this a lot of thought, sir. I love Emma
more than anything in the world. I've never felt this way about anyone. She
makes me want to be a better person.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Curt studied Mason's face. He turned to Loris and whispered in her ear. She
stood and left the room. Mason politely stood and watched her leave. He sat
back down and looked Curt in the eyes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Mason. I would like to ask you some
questions before we discuss this any further, and, I'd like for you to answer
in complete honesty.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Of course.” He answered expectantly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Curt took a deep breath. “How old are you?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Twenty seven.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Have you ever been
married?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“No, sir. I’ve never thought of marriage until I met Emma.” He told
him boldly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Do you have any children?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“No, sir.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Have you had sex before?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Mason grew uncomfortable, but, decided to answer all questions truthfully. He
wanted Emma's father to know him when he made his decision. “Yes, sir.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“I see.
With Emma?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“No, sir.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“How many women?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">He thought a moment. “Four.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Four?”
He asked in disbelief. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Mason looked at the floor. “Yes, sir. Four.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“How long
has it been since you last had sex?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“A little over a year.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Were you in love with any of them?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“No. I only had sex with them.” He stated
plainly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“And, you haven't with Emma?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“No, sir.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Why not?” He shrugged
nonchalantly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Mason narrowed his eyes. “I beg your pardon?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Why have you not
slept with Emma?” He asked plainly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Mason squirmed in his seat. “Because I...because she's a virgin.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Curt smiled
in relief. “What does that matter to you?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“Excuse me?” Mason couldn’t believe
his attitude toward this subject. Did he feel offended because Mason hadn’t
slept with his daughter? What was this guy’s game? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Curt smiled and nodded.
“Just humor me, Mason and answer the question. Why do you care whether or not
she’s a virgin?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Mason took a deep breath. “Well. I care very much for her and
don't want to hurt her, in any way. I could never dishonor her, Mr. Rhodes. I
have to admit, I would have, had she not been a virgin. But, I want to do right
by her. I want to be a gentleman with her.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Curt smiled. “What are your
thoughts about how a marriage should be?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“I think a man should honor the vows he takes, no matter what circumstances
arise. And, I think a man should weigh those vows before he takes them. They
are permanent and a man should be one hundred percent sure he's willing to
abide by them.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“And, you think that you are a hundred percent sure?” Her
father asked. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Mason smiled. “Oh, I'm more than that. And, I don't believe in
divorce.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Curt smiled slyly. “Most people say that when they marry. But, the divorce rate
is sky high.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“With all due respect, Mr. Rhodes, I believe that men who allow
divorce to creep into their minds, are cowards and don't deserve the women they
married. I love Emma with everything that I am. I want to spend the rest of my
life, and then eternity, with her. Not just the next five, ten, twenty years. I
want her for my whole life.” He sighed. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">“But, I need your blessing before that can happen. And, I hope that you will
trust me when I say that I will cherish Emma's heart and I will protect her and
love her every day for the rest of my life.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Curt leaned forward and rested his
elbows on his knees. He looked into Mason's eyes. “Son. You are a strong,
courageous man to come here and speak to me about this. Thank you for being
honest with me.” He studied Mason's eyes for a moment. “I believe you will
cherish and love my little girl. But, if for one second you have doubts about
your feelings for her, I pray that you won't go through with this.” He stood
and held out his hand. “Mason, son, you have my blessing to marry Emma.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Mason
stood and grinned from ear to ear. “Thank you, sir.” He said, shaking his hand.
“I won't disappoint either of you.”</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">Hello, Jake and
Rheagan. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing with me and all of
your eager fans today.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">Jake~Thank
you for having us, Ana.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">How about we jump right in
and get started?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">Rheagan~Ask
away! We’re an open book. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">A~(smile) First question...I’d like to ask you, Rheagan. Jake had already been introduced to the The Firehouse
Diaries fans from the very first book…how did it feel being the “new girl” in this incredibly sexy group
of firefighters? And, how did all these guys treat you?</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">R~Oh…at first, I was both
excited and nervous! (smiles at Jake) I knew when I came to visit
Sera that I would be hanging out with all of these extremely hot guys, (giggles
and blushes) but once I got here, meeting all of them was a little overwhelming.
I mean, they are<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>all</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>super hot! (looks at Jake and blushes)
I really just wanted to find someone to spend some time with when Sera and McK
were working and hopefully have some “benefits” on the side. Everyone
welcomed me with open arms as an addition to their group. It didn’t take
long to fit in. I first became very close to Jake, then, I got to
know his friends and I love every one of them.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">A~(to Rheagan) Did the
other guys flirt with you in the beginning? And do they now?</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">R~(Laughs) Actually,
they never had the chance to flirt with me in the beginning. (smiles at
Jake and holds his hand) Once I saw Jake, they sort of faded into the
background and he had all of my attention.
Now they flirt with me all the time. They like to see Jake squirm,
I think.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">A~Ha! Typical
guys. (I smile and turn to Jake) Jake, how does it make <i>you</i> feel when your friends flirt with
Rheagan?</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">J~Honestly, Ana, it makes
me feel good. When they joke around flirting with her, I think of it as a
form of flattery and a pat on the back. I’m
happy they’re all friends with her. Of
course I act jealous, but deep down, these guys are like my brothers. I
know they would never do anything with Rhea to really piss me off. I just
like to humor them. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">A~That’s really big of you
to look at it that way.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">Jake, you and Sera have
been very close for several years…did you ever have a thing for her?<u1:p></u1:p> And, did she have a thing for you?</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">J~(Laughs and leans
forward) It’s funny you should ask that. Rhea and I were </span><span style="font-family: 'Freehand471 BT', serif; font-size: 21px;">just </span><span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">talking
about that yesterday. I suppose you could say I did have a little crush
on her in the beginning of our friendship.
I mean, she’s gorgeous. But it
didn’t seem right. Sera is like a sister to me more than anything.
I love her in a big brotherly sort of way.</span><u1:p style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;"></u1:p><span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;"> As for her having a thing for me…I couldn’t
say. If she did, I wasn’t aware of it.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">A~Rheagan, when you went
back to LA temporarily, did your ex-boyfriend, Barry, try to get in contact
with you? Did you ever see him again?</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">R~Yes, he did and I did see
him one time. Thankfully, Jake was with me, so Barry cowered down and I
haven’t heard from him again. (laughs) I think one look at Jake and
how <i>fit</i> he is…was all it took to send
him packing and running for the hills.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">R~(smiles) I talk to
him on the phone some and we email back and forth. After Jake and I
got together, he convinced me not to shut my dad out of my life. So, we went to visit him a few times. He’s still in prison, but he’ll hopefully be out within
the next year. My dad absolutely adores Jake. (smiles and hooks her arm in his)<u1:p></u1:p> The first time we visited, Jake asked my dad
for my hand in marriage. (blushes) I love how old fashioned he can be with his
mannerisms. He’s such a gentleman.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">J~Of course. We’ve
talked about it several times, but we’d like to wait a while. (pulls Rhea
close to him) I’m not quite ready to share her with<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>anybody</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>yet.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

least a couple of kids, maybe more. (looks up at Jake lovingly) We thought
for a while there, after our little tryst at the lake, that our family was going to be started a bit too soon.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

supposed to tell this, but, Jake and I are now married and we’ve just bought a
house that’s halfway between the fire station and my office. I will
continue working for Mr. Lowe until we do finally start our family. When
that time comes, I’ll take a few years off until our kids are in school.<u1:p></u1:p> Then, we’ll see if working part-time is
something I want to do. McKenna wants me
to invest in her Bottle Top Bling business.
It could be fun making and selling bottle top jewelry.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">R~I have, actually.
Some of the girls who were on the cheer squad with me were at the park with
their kids.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: '', 'Freehand471 BT', '', serif; font-size: 16pt;">R~(shrug) I don’t have
any ill will toward them. But, I don’t want to be friends with them,
either. We’re civil to each other, but, it’s obvious they haven’t
changed. I can tell they still think of me as the girl with the jailbird
father. It doesn’t bother me anymore, though.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

my personal time with them. When Jake is on his four day shift, so are their
boyfriends, Max and Matthew. So we spend all that time hanging out and
goofing off like teenagers. (sigh) It’s been so nice being back with my friends.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

he asked me to. I’m having a hard time

time to let loose, be free and have some fun. Visiting her best friend, Sera Torres, is
just the answer she’s been looking for. Sera has friends who are smoking hot

comes to full attention and his breath is taken away by her charm and graceful
elegance. No woman has ever made him want her the way she did when their
eyes locked together. When a beautiful woman would catch Jake's eye, he would want
her, but only temporarily. Moving on to the next was his way and they all
understood that. But, this woman...there's no way in hell one time would be
enough for him.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

me and fall in love with someone else.” Brad
had said as he held her left hand with both of his across the table, his
fingers running across the gold ring on her finger. “No, I won’t.” Marti argued, placing her other hand on
top of his. “I love you, Brad. And I will never love anyone else!” She squeezed his hands tight. “Come

look deep into her eyes. “My life is here, Marti. I’m starting my new job tomorrow. It’s what I’ve always known I would do. It will get me to where I want to be. I want to own my own company, get out of my

What about us? I want to marry
you, Marti.” <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="background-color: #fce5cd;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Marti couldn’t look at him.
She hadn’t told him she wanted to stay in New York after she graduated
and work for Wisdom House Publishing.
Her hands started shaking and she felt nauseated. She didn’t want to leave Brad, but she’d
dreamt of living in New York since she was six years old. “I’m
sorry, Brad. You know I’ve dreamed of
living in New York. I just thought,
maybe, you would come with me.” She
sighed heavily as his eyes closed in disappointment. “I understand if you don’t. Let’s not fight about it now. We can talk about it later. I have four years at NYU to get through. Who knows how I will feel about New York
after that?” She shrugged, not
believing she would ever want to move back here after living in the Big Apple.</span></i><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-size: large; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">I have begun a new series called "The </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><i><b>7</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: large; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"> Sons of Caldwell". It is about a family who lives in Tularosa, New Mexico and owns the 5,000 acre Cold Stream Ranch. The series will consist of 7 amazing love stories of each of the Caldwell boys. The series takes off with the story of Tanner Caldwell, second born to Myron and Elmira Caldwell. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><b><i>Tanner is a well known photo journalist for the National Wildlife Magazine and travels the world hunting down and shooting the most exotic and dangerous beasts known to man. The only shooting he does, however, is with a camera.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><b><i>Upon arriving at his latest assignment in Nairobi, Kenya, Tanner meets the lovely American zoologist and veterinarian, Shaina Kavanaugh, who's flawless beauty has him captivated instantly. Tanner's always been sort of a rake hell, but this gorgeous creature has him rethinking his way of life...a life with no strings attached to any one person, able to come and go as he pleases and freedom to sleep with whom ever he pleases. The thought of spending the rest of his life with this one woman didn't seem so bad. In fact, it was very enticing, but it had his stomach tied in knots with confusion of ever considering such a thing.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><b><i>It didn't take long for Cupid's arrow to find Shaina's heart. Tanner was everything she'd worked her whole life trying to avoid...the perfect man to share her life with. She knew from her mother's experience that there is no such thing as "happily ever after". Losing her heart to Tanner was something she couldn't control, but him knowing it, that she could control. When their assignment in Kenya ended, so did their hot love affair. She left Tanner standing alone in the desert, dumbfounded and heartbroken.</i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><b><i>The others sons of the Caldwell's include Adam, the eldest and the one responsible for all business relating to the Cold Stream Ranch; Chase, the third born of the Caldwell boys and the man who founded the Caldwell Downs Riding School with his brother, Mac, who is the fourth born; Sam, the fifth born, is a Major in the Marines; and then there's the twins, Kolton and Karson. Kole is an EMT and Karson is a Physical Therapist.</i></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><b><i>The one and only daughter of the Caldwell's, Jenna, is somewhere in the middle and spends her time working with Adam, Chase and Mac on the ranch. She is a jack of all trades and all who know her love her.</i></b></span></span><br />

eleven years ago to chase her life time dream of becoming an editor at one of

she landed her dream job and married a friend from college. After six years of
a rocky marriage and learning she couldn't have children, she divorced her
husband and moved back home to take over her mother’s book store. Running into
her old flame, Brad Mason, was foremost on her mind. They had been madly in
love when she left for New York and Brad wanted to marry her. But his life was
in Leesburg, so Marti made the tough decision to break ties with Brad and
pursue her dream. The fact is, she's never stopped thinking about Brad and how
much she wished she'd stayed. But not being able to have kids was something she
didn't want for him. He had his heart set on having a family and she couldn't
take that away from him. He'd be much better off without her.<o:p></o:p></b></i></span></span></div>
