I was at the top of my game. I knew who I was and what direction my lifewas headed. I owned the most prestigious night clubs down the eastcoast yet I kept my identity a secret. I don’t like being in the limelight and my hometown was none of anyone’s business. However, makingpeople happy was. I did that with my clubs. Until the day tragedy struckmy family. I had a choice to make and it wasn’t an easy one.At theend of the day, family always comes first. I went home to take care ofmy mom and the ranch. I didn’t plan on that little smart mouth Hopeshowing up with a laptop in hand. Just out of a cheating relationshipthe girl was hell bent on hating all men. Me included. Hating me wasn’tthe only thing she came back home for. She needed a quiet place to writeher next article. Her interest? The man that suddenly closed down allthe upscale clubs on the east coast.I wanted to be anonymous for areason. I didn’t want the cameras and all the tabloids in mine or myfamily’s business. So, I don’t give her anything. Well, nothing shewants anyhow.I give her the cowboy, the man that I’ve once againbecome with the dirty mouth. Until she learns the truth and wants to runwith it. I should have known that a second chance at love wouldn’thappen for me. All fairy tales have to end, right?
