Where We Came From

What do you do when you come face-to-face with your past? Refuse to back down, of course. PalmerLife was easy when you were Palmer Rhodes, but that was because she never asked for much. Having grown up the daughter of a maid, all that she'd ever known were trailer parks and hand-me-downs, but that had been enough. Refusing to be ashamed of her mother's hard work, she hadn't ever let anyone bring her down, making her stronger for it. Now, in her early thirties, her life was pretty much the same, still living in that same trailer park, trying her best to support herself while chasing her dreams of becoming a well-known artist. Though talented in both painting and sculpting, Palmer's real passion was painting, and it was worth whatever she had to do in order to make all of her dreams come true. PriceLife was easy when you were Price Hawthorne, but that was because life usually was when you were the heir to a billion-dollar empire. Having grown up in mansions, limos, boardrooms, and private schools, he'd never known anything else. He was used to always getting his way, and he hadn't ever had to answer to anyone but his family. Now, in his early thirties, his life was pretty much the same, except that he was in full control of Hawthorne Incorporated now, even at such a young age. Though his father had proven to be a selfish prick, leaving the entire family hanging, Price hadn't balked at stepping up to the plate, and Hawthorne Incorporated was even more successful with him at the helm. When you're faced with an impossible choice…When the unexpected happens, Palmer finds herself pulled back by her past; a past that she'd rather forget. Having already been a victim of Price Hawthorne once, she has no desire to be one again. However, she finds that she may not have a choice. When the unexpected happens, Price finds himself placed in an impossible situation, and Palmer Rhodes coming back into his life isn't anything that he's prepared for. However, he's given no choice if he wants to honor the relevance of his family's legacy. Once best friends, Palmer and Price hadn't seen each other in fifteen years, but the hurt, bitterness, and anger between them still burns bright. However, that's nothing compared to learning that marrying each other is the only way to secure both of their futures. NOTE: This book contains adult language, adult situations, and explicit sexual encounters.
