Loving Cabella

Résumé

What’s a woman to do when the man she loves is being a silly, stubborn fool? Take him head-on…

Kingston Lewis is the one for me. I know it… he knows it… and if he wasn’t so stubborn, the entire world would know it by now. I should be Cabella Lewis, a renowned artist instead of Cabella Abbott, a struggling college student. The artist thing is doable, but marrying Kingston? This is proving to be harder than expected.

He insists on saying that we can’t be together. That it wouldn’t be appropriate or some nonsense like that. The list of reasons he gives is short and frustrating; he’s the dean at my college, almost double my age, and lastly… he just so happens to be my dad’s best friend.

But if Kingston thinks his weak arguments will keep me from loving him, he is sorely mistaken. I plan on making that man mine, no matter what. After all, I am my father’s daughter; he didn’t make a name for himself by taking no for an answer. And I won’t find my happily ever after by accepting excuses.

What’s a man to do when the woman he loves is untouchable? Avoid her at all costs…

Cabella Abbott is the bane of my existence. She’s brash, persistent and a constant thorn in my side. She’s also beautiful, smart, and talented. And the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. But unfortunly for me what we want isn’t always what we can have.

Too many obstacles stand in our way; our age difference, the fact that I’m in charge of her academic career. But mainly it is her father that keeps us apart. He’s one of my best friends and it wouldn’t be honorable to steal his little girl away... even if said girl is now a grown woman with curves for days.

The best thing for me to do is to avoid her and hide away in my office until she gives up on this crazy notion of us being together. But Cabella isn’t one to take no for an answer and I’m running out of hiding places… and resolve.
