Alicia's Folly

Authored by C A Vincent

ALICIA

A tropical vacation turns to heartache when Alicia makes an incorrect assumption.

While enjoying a brief vacation between jobs, Alicia Danvers runs into self-made millionaire Nathan Langston. Literally. She's always wanted to knock a man off-balance, but would have preferred to do it with her looks or a hot dress. She never expected to send one sprawling onto his back and land on top of him, kicking and flailing. Surprisingly, sparks fly. The more she sees him, the more she wants to know him and help him get his sense of self back. Unable to stop herself, she throws caution to the wind, as well as her heart out into the open for him to catch. When it lands unexpectedly back at her feet, courtesy of his ex, she goes home to lick her wounds and move on with her life. It's a task much easier said than done.

NATHAN

Nate gets more than he bargained for when he meets Alicia Danvers.

His girlfriend dumping him, right when he decides it's time to propose, has left Nate Langston with a broken heart and a considerably trampled ego. With thoughts of "Where did I go wrong?" plaguing him, he meets, rather unexpectedly, Alicia Danvers. Her initial 'impact' upon him has left him wanting more and he's determined to get it, even if he has to deal with her former boss and his creepy detective friend. Just as he comes to realize she's "the whole package" his ex wasn't, she leaves without a word. Angry and hurt by two women in less than a month, he returns home to continue building his fortune. Memories of their time together haunt him and a phone call changes his life forever.
