Prologue
Morgan — Saturday
My virginity was in serious jeopardy Not that I cared In fact, it was long past time that I turned in my V-card The truth was, I hadn’t had any opportunity to do so — at least with anyone rely, but I also wasn’t the type of woman men clamored for Especially men like the super-sexy Kade Raven I was the person well- women would say had a pretty face, but I’d be beautiful if I lost a little weight I suspected they were right But I liked food I also didn’t mind my curves
Lack of opportunity also played a role inthe affluent, I wasn’t a part of their world My mother was the housekeeper for the McAdams family, so most of my time was spent with other children of domestic workers Not that the McAdaer than Beth McAda over the social strata That, and I had to work frolefrom a chronic illness, I had to work even more Hence, no dates and the retainment of my V-card
My experience with love ever after was relegated to living vicariously through others Right now, it was through Beth and her white knight Ash Raven, Kade’s older brother As a die-hard ro for them to have their second chance at love, and they’d finally achieved it Thirty o, they said their vows and were hter Hannah, by their side
The reception was ical and I felt so honored that Beth asked me to be her maid of honor to share this day with her I felt like Cinderella, whisked away for the night into a world that didn’t have the challenges and burdens of everyday life It hy I was dancing with the uber-sexy Kade Raven even thought I was sure he was just being nice After all, he was the bestout with the maid of honor
But he also had a reputation as a ladies’ man There were plenty of other beautiful model-like waifs at the reception that wereand dancing with me didn’t make sense He’d done his part to entertain me and fulfill his role
“You look like you’re waging a war in your brain,” he said, leaning toward ne
“I’ withcoy Besides, if he was choht, I didn’t want to hold him back
“If you don’t know, either you have low self-esteeh”
Huh?
