I Knew I Loved You - Short and Sweet Series, #24

"I hope you know that I'm not going to make this easy for you. I'm not interested in having a wife and especially not one Natasha picked out."I nodded, not knowing what to say."If I'm to marry someone, it will be my decision. Do you understand?""Y...yes. Of course.""Good, " he said. "And, you have a thing there."He came closer to me and I took in a breath again, feeling my legs go shaky. He reached up to my hair and, focusing, took something off.
He threw the piece of clothing fuzz on the floor. The moment between him putting his hand down and backing away felt like ages for some reason. All I could do was stare into those beautiful eyes. I didn't even notice my mouth was slightly open, or that I was looking at him as if he was a thanksgiving turkey. ANNA is a poor fashion student working at a crummy newspaper wishing for her fashion career breakthrough to happen so she can give the life she's always wanted to her younger siblings. ALEX is the son of a self made billionaire, Natasha Maxwell, the CEO and Editor of a well known fashion magazine who more than anything wants his mother to accept his wishes when it comes to finding a future wife and to not be in the shadow of his mother's success.  When Anna gets an interview with Natasha Maxwell at her dream magazine she gets more than she bargained for her when instead of a job she's offered a deal.
