Lexi Moore, twenty-two year old with an identity crisis. I keep my chin up, smile on at all times to hide the way I really feel. It helps let the world believe I’m fine. I live my life alone, and I’ve always preferred it this way. Until now. Until Jackson. He hides so much behind that mask of his, but I see what the rest of the world doesn’t. I see a man just as lost and miserable as I am. Jackson Anderson, twenty-eight year old CEO of Anderson Enterprises. I was born into a life of privilege, full of responsibilities and expectations. That isn’t what I asked for. That isn’t what I wanted. It is my obligation, my birthright. I’d become the man everyone expected me to be instead of the man I wanted to be, and it ended up costing me everything. I’d lost my way. Until Lexi. Now I’m falling for a woman who has no idea who I am, but this is the way it needs to be. We all have our secrets, but mine could rip us apart. I can’t take that chance. I have to lie to protect her from the truth.**

With her, he’d never go there, or at least he never thought he would. There are just some lines you don’t cross.Sleeping with your best friend’s sister is wrong. The answer to his problem is simple.Forget about her. There are plenty more out there. Easy, until Caleb realizes that Ariana is exactly what he needs. She isn’t the problem. She’s the answer.**
