My best friend’s older brother is a rich and famous musician. I know she frowns upon her friends getting involved with him. My job as a music journalist causes us to cross paths and a single dance turns into a night of passion. I’m not good at keeping secrets and I can’t deny I’m falling for him har.
Katarina and Ukraine had one thing in common: they both wanted freedom. Katarina wanted to get away from her conservative religious family while Ukraine wanted to run their country their own way. For both, rebellion was certain. And for both, the journey to independence would be the toughest fight of their lives. The only thing certain in war is uncertainty. Freedom is never guaranteed.
As I started the computer and looked up, Ryan strolled by and glanced in my direction. Our eyes met, and my heart spoke to my brain. I melted, despite what was going on. I was attracted to him in ways I could not explain. He was accompanied by Mona, the HR Director, and they walked briskly to catch the elevator.

Stretching my soul,
making me whole
and showing me
what really matters.
