DESCRIPTION

Cole Waters was done with women. It seemed that every relationship he had ever had revolved around one thing: his money. Being the wealthy CEO of a major banking corporation, and a good-looking one at that, he attracted a lot of the wrong attention from women.

On the other side of town Deanna Williams, an up and coming journalist from Texas, is settling into her new surroundings. Fresh out of college, she manages to land herself a job at a small financial magazine in New York City. So far the only friends she has made are her coworkers. She is unaware of her rustic beauty, and new to the Big Apple, she finds herself spending more and more nights at home. She feels so alone.

The unlikely pair find themselves bumping into each other in the local coffee shop. Their encounters are always cut short by the inherent rush Cole faces throughout his everyday life. Being a billionaire means lots of early mornings and late nights at work. During their small talk, Deanna realizes there is a connection between them that she cannot quite explain. But she still does not know his name. So will she ever see him again?

SEEKING THE FLAME

Deanna

---

That was the last of it. Deanna Williams set down the last box full of her belongings. It had been a long few weeks as she packed up her old life into boxes and moved to a new city. A new beginning.

Just months after finishing up her college diploma in journalism, Deanna was offered a job at a small magazine in New York City. As a true country girl from Austin, Texas, she had always dreamed of making it to the big city. There was nothing she enjoyed more than writing, so journalism was her ticket out of this dead-end town. Only a few days after learning that she had gotten the job, she was waving goodbye to her family and friends from the window of her old, rusted Ford and making her way east.

Her parents had been sad to see her go and she would miss them. Unlike so many of her friends growing up, she was an only child. She remembered wishing for a sibling all her life, but she never got one. It made it even harder for her to go knowing that it meant that their first and only child was leaving them. All three teared up as they hugged each other. Her mother held her close, not wanting to let go just yet. Eventually they separated, and Deanna was released into the world, alone.

A lovely, older woman, Jessica, had allowed her to use an apartment just blocks away from her new office. It was quite small, with one bedroom, a kitchen, and bathroom, but it was homey. It was also about as big as she could afford by herself.

---

Deanna got right to work unpacking, and it was time to put everything in its proper place. She couldn’t stand the clutter. Once it was all tidy, she sat back on her single bed and took in her new surroundings. But moving into a new house must have really taken a toll on her, because her head fell closer and closer to her pillow. She soon found her gaze blurring as she drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the first day at her new job and the wonders of New York City.

---

The next morning, she awoke to the blaring of her alarm clock. Rubbing her eyes sleepily, she glanced over to check the time. It was already seven o’clock! Only half an hour until she needed to leave if she was going to be on time for her first day at the magazine! Her slender figure darted around the room, frantically searching for everything she would need. Luckily, she had already learned to be incredibly organized during college as a result of her frequent sleep-ins. Her outfit was already carefully laid out on her desk: a well-fitted white blouse with a navy blazer and black pencil skirt. Perfect, she thought as she jumped into the shower to wash off the previous day’s sweat and dirt. Drying herself off quickly she slipped into her clothes. Giving herself a last look in the mirror, she decided it best to have her long, blonde locks tied back in a ponytail before she rushed out the door and made her way to the office.

---

Dodging bodies on the pavement, she walked quickly through the crowd the few blocks to her building. She took a second to look at the exterior of the skyscraper she would now be working in. It was grey and dull with tiny windows peering into the dank office cubicles. It was not exactly what she had pictured.

Having only spoken to her employers over Skype, she had not yet seen any of the office at all. But from the sound of the magazine she was writing for, Inside Finance NYC, she had imagined something a little less... decrepit. Nevertheless, she didn’t care where she worked, being a journalist in New York was her dream, and she had finally made it a reality.

---

Taking the elevator up to the twelfth floor, she crammed in with at least fifteen other people heading to their jobs. Slowly the elevator cleared, each floor removing more people left until she was alone. The doors opened at the twelfth floor and she reluctantly stepped out, her nerves beginning to set in. There was just one singular door before her. Inside Finance Inc, it read. This must be the place, she thought to herself. With a deep breath, she reached for the handle and opened the door to her new start.

She almost collided straight into a young man about to walk out of the same door. He stumbled back awkwardly and shook his head before looking at her for the first time. He was about the same age as her—in his early twenties. Her eyes were drawn to his handsome face with his strong, masculine jaw dusted with dark stubble. A stylish pair of black rims framed his hazel eyes. He was really attractive to her, in a nerdy sort of way.

He stood for a moment, awestruck by the blonde beauty who had wandered through the doors of the office. It was silent for a moment before she spoke,

Hey, sorry, she apologized. He fumbled the small stack of papers held firmly in his hand.

Hi, I’m Jacob, he stuck out a hand for her to shake it politely. They exchanged pleasantries, and now that she knew him, she thought he would be the perfect person to ask about what she was to do next. She still had no idea where to go in this labyrinth of office chairs and desks.

I’m new here, just starting today, she continued. His eyes lit up. She wasn’t just visiting his office; she was here to stay.

This way then. I’ll take you to the boss’s office; it’s just up here. He took her hand and they wove their way through the desks, past her new coworkers and to the doors of her boss’s office. Across the front read: Editor: Steve Wright. Yeah, this was it.

I’ll leave you to it. I hope to see you soon, Jacob released her hand reluctantly and made his way back to his own desk.

She stared at the door in front of her. Nervously, she brought her fist up toward it and knocked softly.

Come in! a voice from the other side bellowed. She turned the knob and peeked inside. A man inside the office beckoned her to come in. He looked up and recognized her immediately.

Ah, you must be Deanna. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person. Steve rose from his desk and stepped forward to shake her hand. He was in his midthirties and a little chubby. His tightly collared shirt hugged his round stomach, and a pair of tailored black pants were belted beneath. His face was kind, making her feel so much more at ease.

Hi, thank you so much for the opportunity, she gushed. He smiled back at her, his cheeks revealing small dimples. He brushed his short brown hair back with his hand.

No problem, your grades were outstanding. It will be a pleasure having you as a member of our team here, he spoke quickly. He took a seat back at his desk and urged her to take the one opposite him. She quickly sat and awaited her first assignment as a real journalist, brimming with excitement.

Now, before I give you your first task, there is some paperwork I will need you to sign. He proceeded to run her through some typical work safety forms and contracts. Once signed, he continued his introduction to the magazine.

There are several departments within this magazine, he began. She wondered which one she would be assigned to. Deanna had read through countless copies of Inside Finance before leaving Texas and had a rough idea of what she really wanted to write—and what she didn’t.

"For now, I have stationed you in the stock reviews department. This means that you will be working with
