Wesley became the most important person in my life, the one I shared everything with except the one thing I wanted to give him – my heart. Dating in the workplace was risky enough, but falling in love with the CEO’s only brother was professional suicide. He was everything I ever wanted, but he was also the one I could never have. I still hadn’t found the man I wanted to build a life with, until I met Wesley King. I finally had everything I’d dreamed of when I accepted the position of CFO at Blake Industries – well, almost everything. I lacked the courage to make a move, no matter how tired I was of denying my feelings for him. Yet, I held my tongue and battled myself daily for over a year to hide my feelings from him. My heart screamed at me to tell him that his search was over and that I was right there in front of him. I died a little bit inside every time he talked about the love he was hoping to find and the family he wanted to have with someone else. Tom became the best friend I’d ever had and I fell deeper in love with him every day. My only choices were to accept his offer of friendship or nothing at all. I felt a connection to him that I’d never felt with anyone else, but I sadly watched the heat fade from his eyes the minute he learned who I was.

The minute I met Tomas Sarantos, I knew there was something special between us. It’s true that what doesn’t kill you can make you stronger, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t filled with self-doubt and questioned my worthiness of being loved. In my struggle to forge my own path, I’d taken a wrong turn a time or two, which nearly cost me my life. People either ran from me in fear or tried to use me to get to him.

I’d often felt lost in the shadow of my older brother, Sebastian Blake.
