![]() We were doomed from the very beginning with those names. The next it was still nothing but a lie.Īfter all, I was Rose and he was Jack. The next he seemed to be completely mine. And day after day my heart started to get a mind of its own. No, he still didn’t talk much, but anyone can string a few words together. It wasn’t long after he said I was the biggest mistake of his life that things started to change. I blamed his eyes, the ocean blue eyes that looked straight into mine unapologetically, and that frown on his face I had no idea I would become so fascinated with in time.

Ella Maise is certainly one of them because this book for me was absolute perfection. It took him only minutes to talk me into a business deal…erm, I mean marriage, and only days for us to officially tie the knot. Well…I did all those things except the walking away part. You’d think I’d laugh in his face, call him insane-and a few other names-then walk away as quickly as possible. ![]() A stranger who had been dumped by her fiancé only weeks before.
