Everything
is sexy at Knight Fashion Magazine.
Nathan
Cross is a struggling actor waiting tables at a local restaurant to make ends
meet while he attends endless auditions. Though his hopeful career moves at a
slow pace, Olivia is the strength and sunshine in his life… until she leaves
him. One day, he is offered a contract with a modeling agent, leading him to
work for Knight Fashion Magazine—a dream job he never imagined would become a
reality.
Olivia
swore she would always put her career first and that’s precisely what she did
when she left Nathan. Having a deadbeat dad and watching her mom work two jobs
to make ends meet have been her driving force. When she is offered a modeling
career, she drops everything—even the love of her life—and moves to New York.
Though
Nathan and Olivia try to steer clear of one another, working for the same
fashion magazine causes their paths to cross again and old emotions are
awakened. Can Nathan forgive Olivia or will he take the next step with the
woman he is currently dating? Will Olivia do everything she can to break them
apart? Or will she choose her career over her heart… again?
Excerpt
He shoved his hands inside his
jeans. “Since I’m here, and your mom promised me a pie, I should get to work.”
I ran my fingers through my hair,
moving it away from my face. “You don’t have to stay, Nate. I mean, I
appreciate you wanting to help my mom.”
He ignored me. “Let’s start with the box
you’re holding.” He came toward me.
If I had handed it to him,
everything would have been just fine. Instead, I backed away, tripped over a
box full of books, and stumbled backward on top of my bed. The box in my hand
went flying onto the floor.
Being a gentleman, Nate reached down
to help me clean up the mess. Instead of putting things back into the box, he
sifted through them.
“You still have these?” he asked,
holding up a photo of us at a Valentine’s dinner. After he placed it down, he
picked up a smaller box and opened it. It held the crystal bracelet he had
given to me the last Christmas we spent together. It had been a while since I’d
worn it. I’d thought about wearing it again, but not in front of him just yet.
I got off the bed reluctantly,
wishing I could hide under the covers instead. Scattered about the carpet were
more photos of us and some cards he had given me for my birthday, Christmas,
and Valentine’s Day. Nate always got me a card. He was sentimental that way.
He slowly peered upward at me with
an expression I didn’t understand. Was he mad? Then, with a hint of a smile, he
quickly placed everything inside the box, closed the lid, and handed it to me.
After I took it from his hand, he stood up, facing me.
“I never threw anything you gave me
away,” I said, looking down at the box. In the silence that followed, I
wondered what he thought.
He heaved a long sigh. “You kept
everything but me.” His words came out soft but harsh, and they were loud as
thunder in my mind.
Hurt swam in his eyes. What do I say after that? He was so
right. Before I had the chance to speak, he turned and walked out of my room,
shattering my heart into pieces. I wanted to cry. I was reliving that night
again, the very night I wanted to redo.

reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M Clarke? She
