Half Hope, Half Love

In a heartfelt conversation, I gently told Heath, "Let me go, dear. You know it's not right." As he moved closer, he questioned, "What's wrong with our hug?" I took a deep breath and shared, "You recently discovered that your fiancée, my sister, cheated on you. Remember, you fought against your family just to be with her. Isn't that enough reason for distance?" Hurt, he left abruptly, and I could sense his lingering presence. "Must you bring this up when I'm trying to come to terms with the truth?" I asked. "It's the truth," I continued. "You were about to marry Kiara, but that wasn't the issue." "Is that why you're leaving me?" I frowned, confused. He replied, "I was going to marry Kiara, and you didn't approve. You were jealous." To endure eight long years of dedication to a person you adore, only to see them choose your own sister and propose marriage with your assistance, is a challenge not everyone can handle. Join Heath Evercrest and Hazel Scarlett on their journey as Hazel navigates her employer's unexpected request, all while grappling with her own conflicted emotions, in a story filled with intimate moments that may leave you blushing.
