Former wild boy turned responsible adoring father, Eddie Thomas always made sure that his little girl Emily was his top priority. Being a single father meant sacrificing his wants and needs for that of his little girl, and that meant sacrificing his want and need for Haley...no matter how tempting.

My Love – Bobby & Sophie As the youngest of the Sloan boys, Bobby never said much. But when it came to wife Sophie, he was always quick to express his love and devotion.

Marian Tee - 2017
     They’re just too cocky and shallow for my taste, and I despise the way they act like being wickedly gorgeous and sexy makes them God’s gift to women. Yeah right.

I’ve never met someone more horribly rude and self-centered, and even worse is the way he’s so damn moody. Just being in his presence makes me feel dizzy. One moment he’s viciously cruel, another moment he’s exquisitely charming. One moment he seems invincible and out of my league, another moment he’s broodingly vulnerable and mysteriously tormented. But the worst is when we’re alone – when he gazes at me like he wants to eat me, it makes me feel so shamefully wet. I hate it. I hate HIM, Mr. Rochester, and if he thinks I’m going to let him get away with acting like my lord and master just because he’s my boss and I find him a little bit too sexy for my own good--- You don’t own me, Mr. Rochester, I hiss at him. But the words only make him smirk, and he whispers into my ear, ‘Not yet’.
