The Billionaire's Reluctant Pregnant Bride: A BWWM Romance (21 page)

We marry as the leaves are turning and the overripe apples are falling to the ground. It’s a warm and clear Vermont day. Most of the guests chose outfits that were inspired by autumn colors—golds, pinks, reds and browns. I am the only one in white.

I smile as I look down the center of the aisle. Friends and family are gathered around us. My father hugs my weeping mother. Priscilla tilts her head to the side with a satisfied smile. Kate and Sondra, my bridesmaids, flash me eager grins. Even Reggie is tearing up.

Preston looks down the aisle at me with a look that makes my heart stop. I hold my extremely pregnant belly and his eyes move down, softening. Everyone present can see the love between us. Love that has been tested and renewed. Love that was built before and after I lost my memory.

I walk down the aisle. The man of my dreams waits for me at the end of it. He has been watching me and loving me for my entire my life, waiting for the moment when I’d reach out for him.

I take his hand and face him, reveling in its warmth and the comfort only he can give me. I remember, again, the darkness and fear that consumed me while I was in the coma. The feeling of his fingers were what brought me back. They were the only thing I remembered when I woke up.

We hold hands throughout the ceremony. We hold hands as we say our vows. We hold hands as we kiss for our first time as a married couple. I’m so happy to be holding his hand again as we start our life together.

When we’re pronounced man and wife, he puts his other hand on my belly. My heart swells. I know that he loves our daughter just as much as he loves me. This beautiful child will come into a world full of love with two parents who cherish her. She’s got two crazy aunts who are gonna protect her with their lives. Both of her grandmothers are strong women who look out for their own, and they’re gonna make sure she’s also strong enough to take anything, and they’ll be there to catch her when she falls. I have a feeling that soon she will have brothers and sisters to watch out for.

And they’d better like pancakes, because I think there are a lot of those in our future. Every morning, in fact, on a breakfast table with a bouquet of fresh lavender, lots of laughter, and hearts overflowing with love.

SUMMER OF LOVE: THE BILLIONAIRE'S BABY

A Stand Alone BWWM Hollywood Romance

College graduate Natasha Ray decides to become a surrogate to pay off her student loans... but she's stunned when she meets the man whose baby she is to carry - Blake Charlton, blue-blooded megastar, reigning king of Hollywood and a man who has yet to learn that money can't buy love. 

Natasha denies the connection between herself and the crazy-sexy leading man, keeping everything strictly platonic until a shocking revelation about his wife's past impropriety causes his marriage to implode in a storm of tabloid headlines and heartbreak for the man who seemed to have everything. 

Wary of Blake's fame, Natasha tries to keep her distance even as he reveals an unexpected tender side - and an ability to get under her skin like no man ever has. 

Can Blake and Natasha run the gauntlet of their wildly different upbringings and rabid media interest? Or will they both be punished for Blake's decision to turn away from a way of life that suddenly seems shallow and empty in the light of his burgeoning relationship with Natasha? With her solid values and her refusal to be dazzled by the spotlights and flashbulbs of Hollywood, she's like no one Blake has ever met before. But is she even interested in building a life with a man like him, whose every mistake since he was a teenager has made headlines and who is only now coming to realize that the best things in life really are free? Can Natasha put aside the circus of Blake's life and open her heart to the man himself - and to the kind of love she's always dreamed of?

Michelle Carter is ready for a new stage in her life. She is a resident at a prestigious Miami hospital, and her path to becoming a doctor has required many sacrifices, including a failed relationship.

Except somehow, bad luck follows her, and she manages to get into huge trouble at the new job. 

Lex Makarov is a painfully handsome local billionaire, a son of a Russian oligarch and his only heir. He isn't used to people telling him no, especially women.

When he gives her more work on top of her already busy shifts at the hospital, she hates him even more. What Michelle doesn't know is that all Lex can think of is her confident attitude and her gorgeous curves. 

They can try to avoid the real issues all they want, but true passion cannot be tamed. During one of the heated work meetings, Michelle finds herself in Lex's arms, and any resistance is now futile. Will she keep fighting her desire, thinking that her relationship with Lex requires too much sacrifice? Or will the two of them find something worth fighting for?

SCANDALOUS: THE SENATOR'S SECRET BRIDE

A Stand Alone BWWM Romance

It was only supposed to be a one-night stand, a celebration of landing my new job with the campaign. 

We met at a bar. He was gorgeous. And no one had ever turned me on the way he did. 

In the morning, we said goodbye, and I knew it was the last time I would see him again. 

But when I showed up the next morning… I heard that voice. The same voice that had told me I was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. 

He was my boss. The Independent candidate for Senate in the state of Virginia. Nothing could top my shame that day, the worst day of my life. 

But there were far worse days ahead. For a girl with no drama in her life, everything was about to explode. 

My one-night stand turned into something far more scandalous. And all of America was watching.
