Jemanden, der weiß, wie es ist, das Familienunternehmen zu leiten, sozusagen. Um mir bei meiner Verlobung zu helfen, veranstaltet mein Vater einen Ball und lädt alle geeigneten Frauen aus dem ganzen Land ein. Eine von ihnen wird Mrs. Antonio Marchesi werden. Sie wird meine Ehefrau sein. Wir werden nicht verliebt sein, aber sie wird ihre Rolle spielen. Dann sehe ich die Brünette im roten Kleid, die sich in der Zimmerecke versteckt und versucht, mir auszuweichen. Es war dieselbe Frau, die ich im Garten mit ihrem Buch gesehen hatte. Sie ist süß, unschuldig, ein Lämmchen. Ich will sie. Sie ist völlig ungeeignet für die Rolle einer Mafiafrau. Sie ist nicht aus meiner Welt. Und doch kann ich meine Augen nicht davon abhalten, ihr aufmerksam zu folgen. Und als ich mich kurz vor Mitternacht auf den Weg mache, um mit ihr zu sprechen, verschwindet sie in der Nacht. * * * Meine Mitbewohnerin lud mich zu einer Party ein. Ich wusste nicht, dass sie für einen Mafiaboss war, der eine Ehefrau suchte.

Er war groß, arrogant, kalt, streng und der bestaussehende Mann, den ich je in meinem Leben gesehen habe. Sie nannten ihn Antonio „den Wolf“ Marchesi, und der Name jagte mir einen Schauer über den Rücken. Ich beschloss, die Party zu verlassen, bevor meine wahre Identität enthüllt wurde. Ich kletterte einen Baum hinunter, rutschte aus, und er fing mich am Boden auf. Er hielt mich fest, als wolle er mich nicht loslassen. Er ist das Oberhaupt der Marchesi Famiglia: berüchtigt, berechnend, herzlos. Er bekommt alles, was er will, und doch könnte sie sich als die einzige Person erweisen, die er nicht haben kann.

Not interested. Sincerely, The Hottest Three-Night Stand You Will Ever Have P.S. You would be so lucky to get another night with me!

To my tent mate,I am only going to say this once. I am not interested in you. I will not be sharing a sleeping bag with you. I will not be asking you tokeep me warm with your ''hot body''. Who calls their own bodyhot by the way? I will not be doing a belly dance for you in the middle of the night and I definitely won''t be making you hot chocolate. You''ll be lucky if I even alert you to a bear, so don''t push your luck. I''m going to be 100% honest with you. I''m not interested and have no desire to see you again after this trip. Yours Unsincerely, Susie P.S. Not if you were the last man on earthThey say that no good deed goes unpunished and they are surely right. I agreed to go on a camping trip with my best friend and her new boyfriend, Finn, but I never agreed to share a tent with Finn''s best friend, Brody. Brody is a pompous full of himself jock.

City girl in Montana looking for her Romeo...Sounds like the start to a Hallmark movie right? Well, it would, if they had movies about idiot women flying across the country to marry a man they''d never met.Yup, that''s what I did. I responded to an ad in a random newspaper that I found on the train. And now I''m trying to find Horseshoe Ranch so that I can marry some cowboy I''ve never even seen. And no, this isn''t the 1800s. I''m just desperate.To make matters worse, the cowboy doesn''t even know I''m coming. His mom and dad arranged it all. The only reason I''m going is because I have $100 to my name and an old mafia boyfriend after me. I figured life couldn''t get any worse in Montana. I was wrong.In my excitement, I left the address and phone number to the ranch at home, so now I''m here in Montana, and I have no idea where I''m supposed to go. So I took a taxi and stopped at a local bar to ask for directions. And that''s when all my problems began.

He''s a hot handsome cowboy, but can he let down his guard and let love in? Beau Hamilton is the biggest catch in Montana. He''s handsome, funny, and rich. As the oldest son and heir to one of the largest ranches in the state, he''s one of the most eligible bachelors around. And he knows it. His brother is marrying my best friend, and we''re both happy they''ve found love. I thought he was a perfect gentleman, until the night he took me to his favorite spot on the ranch. We did things that nobody should ever know about. Not even my best friend. Beau''s made it clear that while he''s an eligible bachelor, he has no plans on ever getting married. Which doesn''t bother me in the least, because the more time I spend with him, the more he annoys me. He''s a bossy, grumpy, demanding cowboy who thinks it''s his way or the highway, and I''m looking forward to showing him that this is one woman who doesn''t want him in the least. Well, maybe just a little bit. He thinks he''s carrying the world on his shoulders, but I wish he would just let me in.

Você só está a fim de se divertir.Mas nem sempre encontros casuaisacabam em uma só noite...Nos conhecemos em um casamento. Ele era sexy e eu estava na seca há um ano. Ele sorriu para mim. Nós ficamos bêbados, flertamos e acabamos transando. Na manhã seguinte, fugi do seu quarto de hotel sem sequer me despedir. Afinal, era para ser apenas sexo sem compromisso... Acordarmos juntos seria bastante constrangedor.Mas qual não foi minha surpresa, alguns dias depois, ao encontrá-lo no menos provável dos lugares: a casa dos meus pais. Sim, lá estava ele, conversando com o meu pai no sofá. Foi então que descobri que aquele homem não era apenas um belo estranho conquistador e que o nosso encontro fortuito ainda nos levaria por uma série de reviravoltas surpreendentes... e muito quentes.

To The Guy at The Coffee Shop, I did not intend to give you my phone number. I was actually waiting on several dates to show up; don''t ask, it''s a long story. I certainly didn''t need to slip my number into your pastry bag just so I could attempt to catch you. I don''t even know who you are and I don''t care. I found you to be extremely impertinent at the coffee shop. Who interrupts someone else''s date to tell their own anecdotes and stories? Especially when that someone else is a stranger. Just because we had a five minute verbal sparring match, it doesn''t mean we actually know each other. No, I have no interest in getting dating advice from you. And I certainly have no interest in learning the art of flirtatious touch. Are you out of your mind. All I can say is please stop sending me daily dating tips. Maybe work on not being a cocky ass before you try to help others. Now Leave Me Alone, Lilian P.S. Please Lose This Number

To Whom it May Concern, I would like to request more information about the assistant job I saw advertised in Sunday''s newspaper with the six figure starting salary. I have a bachelors degree in English and many years of work experience and think I would be a good fit for the job. My questions are as follows: 1. What is the exact nature of the job? 2. Is it a strict requirement that I live with the boss? If so, can I have friends and others over? 3. The ad states there is a uniform. May I ask what sort of uniform? And why? Also, in lieu of sending a photograph, I''ve sent a picture of my very friendly dog that would also be joining me if I were to get the job. Yours Sincerely, Savannah Carter *** Ms. Carter, How do you know you''ll be a good fit for the job if you do not know the nature of the work? My ad specifically stated I was looking for an MBA grad, not an English grad that knows nothing about the real world. 1. This would be discussed in the interview. 2. Yes, you would be living with me. And no guests are allowed. 3. The uniform would be provided on your first day. You don''t need to know why. The job advertisement asked for a personal photo, is this your way of telling me you look like a dog? Today must be your lucky day because you''re the only person that responded to my ad. Are you available for a phone interview tomorrow? The Wade Hart

To The Single Dad in the Store,You have the most amazing hazel eyes I''ve ever seen. And the pinkest lips. They are what my friends and I would call "insta-kissable." The things I could do to those lips!Your kids are also cute. They''re monsters, but cute. You are single, right? Or are you one of those creeps that just doesn''t wear a ring? You could be on the "bangable dad" list. If such a list existed. (I may or may not be a little tipsy as I write this. Thanks for nothing, Captain Morgan.)Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that when you''re in the veggie aisle at the store, you shouldn''t just grab potatoes and melons from someone else''s cart.Your half-secret admirer,NP.S. If you want to know more, text me at the number on the back of this envelope. To N (whose name could be anything),First off, I''m not a creep. I am not married. I''m glad to hear I''m a" bangable dad". I''m assuming that means you think I''m hot as well. I wish you had handed me this note so I''d know if you had "insta-kissable" lips or "psycho" eyes.I don''t know why I''m texting this message back to you. Maybe a little bit of curiosity. Though they do say curiosity killed the cat. Do you also have kids? Mine are a handful, but I love them.Send me a photo?The Single Dad in the StoreP.S. My name is Steele
