Chasing Happy
Lara Hunter’s life is finally headed in the right direction. With a good education, a great new job, and her dear best friend, Kade, by her side, nothing can get in her way until a freak rain storm leaves her sprawled across the road in the middle of a busy intersection during rush hour traffic.
Reed Prescott rakes in millions on business deals every day. He’s driven and hard-edged and his life is quite complicated enough before a silly little girl in outrageous high heels bites it in front of his moving vehicle. With no other choices, he forces her out of the pouring rain and inside his car. His concern isn’t necessarily with her safety, but to ward off any potential lawsuit.
While Lara’s not entirely sure she appreciates Reed’s high-handed helpfulness, Reed’s whole world is rocked by the honesty and genuineness of the captivating beauty underneath that soggy exterior. Reed’s success in business has always been fueled by hate for his dysfunctional birth family, so when the potential for love stands in front of him, can this hardened man find a way to chase after happy?
After a second more,
with the motivation of persistent banging, she went for the door, looked through
the peep hole and froze. Reed. She ducked, like he would be able to see her
looking out. Why was he here? She looked back through the hole, and his face
was downcast, focused on the floor until his eyes shifted to the hole on the
other side of the door. He was looking straight at her. She dropped down again.
“I hear you in there.
Just open the door.”
She turned her back to
the door and rolled her eyes. She wasn’t ready to see him. Her resolve was
firm, but she needed time to gather her wits.
“I’m not dressed,” she
finally yelled back.
“At this point, I
don’t think that matters. Open the door, Lara.” Reed spoke clearly, but
quietly.
“It’s not a good time
for me,” she tried again.
“Open the door.” He wasn’t
giving, and of course, her neighbor upstairs began banging on the floor. Her
eyes shot up to the ceiling. God, she didn’t want to do this. She waited,
completely panicked. When no sound came from behind the door, she prayed he’d
left, and she slowly lifted to look back out the peep hole. Reed stood there,
staring at the door.
