Mel Vaughn is slowly working to pick up the pieces and get her life back together.  She’s already landed a job at Hoshi Electronics, a prestigious company that could open a lot of doors for her.  Everything seems to be going well, except for the fact that she is hopelessly attracted to the CEO, Carter Byron.  Even worse, there is no avoiding Carter.  After sitting in on a marketing meeting, he takes an interest in her ideas.  Then he takes an interest in her.  Mel ends up falling for his charms, and they share a moment of passion in Carter’s office.  Mel is sure that it’s a one-time thing, but the CEO has other plans. 

Things get more complicated when Mel’s boss suspects her of becoming intimate with Carter.  As if that isn’t enough, a ghost from her past returns to haunt her.  Mel can’t seem to escape her old life, and now she’s wondering if the new one she’s started is going to come crashing down around her.

Chapter One – The Interview

Mel Vaughn tried not to fidget in her seat while Rick Polaski, head of marketing at Hoshi Electronics, perused her resume.  She was glad that she had scheduled this interview for the afternoon.  Her morning sickness was getting worse, and the last thing she wanted was to throw up and ruin her chances.

I have to admit, your resume is a little light, Ms. Vaughn, Rick said finally.  We brought you in for an interview because of your cover letter.  You sounded very ambitious.  Can you expand upon those ambitions for me?

Mel hesitated to answer that question.  Two weeks ago, she would have had a prepared speech ready about her desire to open her own marketing firm.  She’d dreamed about it for so long, she felt like she already had the pitch ready and waiting.

But now…

Now she had three positive pregnancy tests looming in the back of her mind.  Could she really handle being a single mom?  What she needed now, what her child needed, was stability.  She couldn’t risk everything to start her own business when that might mean endangering her child.

Can I be honest with you? Mel asked finally.

I’d encourage it, Rick said with a half smile.

Right… Mr. Polaski, two weeks ago I would have told you about my dream to open my own marketing firm.  I would operate out of a private office, contracting out my services to various businesses.  We… I would cater to everyone from restaurateurs to bigger companies, such as Hoshi.  After I had made a name for myself, I would look into branching out, expanding my company across the nation, maybe even taking on some international contracts.

That sounds like an exciting and well thought out plan, Rick commented.  What changed in the last two weeks?

I got pregnant, sir, Mel said.  It wasn’t part of my… plan.  But the way I see it, I still need a job.  I need experience in the field before I can open my own business.  Nothing has changed about my wants and dreams.  If anything, knowing I have a kid on the way has made me more determined to get a job where I can work hard and establish a career for myself.  My child will be proud of me, Mr. Polaski.  I’m going to make sure of that.  No amount of morning sickness would prevent me from coming into work on time and doing my job to the best of my ability.  I came here to impress, and that’s what I intend to do.

Rick leaned back in his chair and considered her with an intrigued expression.  Mel met his gaze without fear.  She had nothing to lose now.  Her cards were on the table.  The only thing she hadn’t told him was that her dream had originally been shared by her ex-fiancé, Kyle.  The day after he’d proposed to her, she had found her roommate naked in his bed.  Her chest still hurt when she thought about it, and it was for this reason that she hadn’t told Kyle
