Fortunate

Blair Ackerman is a girl with crazy hair and a bad attitude. She's a girl who doesn't care what anyone thinks of her. She's a girl with only a duffel bag and a car named Nancy to her name, and that's okay by her. She's tough because she has to be. Nobody gets inside her head, nobody gets inside her heart. Silver is everything she's never wanted. He's a good guy, a smart guy, a guy who's never met a girl like her before. He's the kind of guy who loves history, who laughs at his own jokes, who kisses like a sinful dream. Too bad he's forbidden.

Jemma Peeters knows exactly what she wants out of life, right down to the very last detail. She has it all planned out - the perfect career, the perfect husband, the perfect family. It's going to be...well, perfect. She knows how she wants things, and even how her perfect man will be. Reid Padin is not it. He's dangerously sexy and annoyingly arrogant. He smokes too much, drinks too much, and drives his stupid motorcycle way too fast. He curses like a sailor and goes through so many women he can't even remember their names. He's wrong for her in every way.

Ivy Banners has just returned home to Fortune with her tail tucked firmly between her legs. Her career has been put on hold (indefinitely), her family think it's the perfect time for her to settle down with a husband and a baby (to her horror), and her relationship status is less than ideal (okay, she's heartbroken). Nash Peeters is one of her oldest friends. He's the boy who shoved worms down her pants when she was a kid, the boy who helped her cause mischief when they were teenagers, the boy who taught her everything she needed to know about climbing trees and kidnapping gnomes.

Ibbie Ibbot's life is pretty frigging awesome. She has a killer job, friends she would do anything for, and a sweet apartment she shares with her hotshot lawyer cousin. In fact, her life would be perfect if not for one thing...Walt Vega. The complete and absolute bane of her existence. That tattooed, pierced punk has made her life a misery ever since they met a year ago. If only he could be more like his older brother. Aleix is everything Walt is not. He's charming, gentlemanly, a total dreamboat. And he's more than happy to sweep Ibbie off her feet.

Ophelia Quinlain has her life together. She is smart, she is sensible, she is nothing like the wild, uncontrollable girl she once was. Because that girl was trouble, and trouble only ever led to heartbreak. Ophelia left home at 17 without ever looking back, but when her mom gets ill, it’s finally time for her to face those demons she abandoned nine years ago.
