Falling (Carlan)

Aspen Reynolds has it all. Wealth, beauty, and a spot on the Forbes Top Ten Most Successful Women list. From the outside, she is perfect. Looks and status can be deceiving. All her life she has fought being the socialite her family has raised her to be. Now at twenty-eight she's at the top of her game, lacking the one thing she didn't know she'd ever want. Accidents happen and lives are changed when Aspen is almost killed. Hank Jensen, the man who saves her, is a hard-working country boy from Texas. Hank is the polar opposite of the rich city boys she's used to. He's rugged, gritty, devastatingly handsome, and makes it clear that he wants her in his life and his bed. Can two people from different worlds find a happily ever after?

I feel things. Deeply. More so than most people. Call it an empathic ability, call it whatever you want. It doesn't change the fact that I am unable to love…at least not again. When you've had everything and lost it, there is no do-over. You can't repair a shattered heart. Instead of the pursuit of Mr. Right, I'm forever enjoying Mr. Right Now. It's worked for me the last four years and will continue for the rest of my days. Then I met him. Collier Stone. My sexy Englishman. He is everything I don't need, but can't deny wanting. His body, his sheer essence calls to that deep place inside me. Doesn't matter though. Regardless of how delicious his accent or how intense the chemistry that sizzles between the sheets, the simple fact remains. I will never give him, or any man, what they need from me. My name is London Kelley and I will never fall in love.

Sweet and naïve in the ways of the world, Camille "Cami" Johnston has done whatever it takes to survive in New York City. Unbroken by her tumultuous past, she is pursuing a stable and secure future that doesn't include worrying about where the rent money will come from. Little does she know, a full-time position at Jensen Construction will do more than pay the bills, it will bring her everything she ever dreamed of having, but didn't believe she was worthy of. Known ladies' man, Nathaniel "Nate" Walker, has never had a problem securing a date. As a widely successful lawyer and business owner, he knows exactly how to get what he wants, when he wants it, in and out of the courtroom… until he meets Camille Johnston. Nate's overly confident, alpha male tendencies toward Cami have her thoughts and emotions in a jumble of uncertainty and lust. But once the sparks fly between the cheeky lawyer and his precious Camille, the resounding flames are unstoppable. As the couple try to find their way toward a future they both yearn for, secrets from Camille's past and present start piling up into a vortex of half-truths and lies of omission. Now the instant connection that brought Nate and Cami together is held together by a tenuous thread.
