Gorgeous and wildly successful, they're playboys who love to have a good time—no strings, just for kicks. How can I focus on finding a family man if I'm having meaningless fun with them?

I never intended to actually send the email. I’m not crazy. It was just a way to vent. I actually did need the money way too much to go off on my boss. Only when I went into office the next day, there was a note on my desk. It read, “A million years is up. See me in my office.”

I didn't believe I had a twin until I met Ashlee and saw myself in the eyes of her daughter. I was adopted.

Falling in love with the mother of my twin's child would be a mistake, but I can't stay away.

Being adopted by Big Dan and Lily was the equivalent of winning the lottery. When they found me, I was like a dried-up plant that had been neglected. My leaves were brittle. My roots stunted. They took me in, pruned me, planted me in nutrient rich soil, and began to water me daily. But as I grew, as all cared for plants do, I slowly began to outgrow my pot. The place that had once felt so comfortable, began to press in on me. It had become so familiar, I decided I didn't want to leave.

We used to call ourselves The Three Musketeers. I know it's cliché, but we were only kids. They usually took turns being in charge, which was fine with me. I was just happy to go along with them.

Why’d I do it? Because, I'm a nosy brat. I had to know what they were doing on Savage Mountain. Why were they hiding there? And when I found, out, I was sorry I’d snooped.
