      He let her slip away once...

      Detective Fiona Reed lives a life far from the privilege of her family’s vast media empire. But forging her own path came at a cost, and an invitation to her family’s estate in the Hamptons is just the thing to help Fiona heal from her emotionally draining job. When sensual Leo Starks returns to her life, he’s no longer an intern, but now a brilliant lawyer who reawakens her deepest desires.

      Ever since his fling with Fiona, Leo has been secretly in love with the beautiful officer of the law. Yet he can’t let his feelings for her wreak havoc with the job he’s been hired to do. But when a shocking revelation threatens to engulf the Meadows clan in scandal, can Leo protect the woman he’s determined to fight for?

      “It takes effort to know someone.”

      “Then, give me a chance.” She tucked in the ragged edges of her pride. “Please give me a second chance.”

      “One day at a time.”

      “Can’t ask for anything more,” Fiona said, knowing that her heart wanted more.

      He offered his hand. “Friends.”

      “To lovers.” She shook his hand, afraid that he would withdraw and tuck it behind his back.

      “You’re quite persuasive.”

      “We don’t have too many days here. Figured that if you wouldn’t persuade me, then it’s up to me.”

      “Yeah? Go ahead. Persuade.”

      Fiona didn’t waste another second. She slipped her hands around Leo’s neck and tiptoed to reach his mouth.

      One kiss. One mouth pressed against the other. That was all it was.

      Except when she kissed Leo, she wanted more. She desired him.

      Breathe.

      Once more she reacquainted her lips with his beautiful, wide mouth, tracing its bold curves. Celebrating its masculine lines.

      As if touched by magic, time stood still.

      Dear Reader,

      With each story in The Meadows Family series, I fall in love with this family all over again. It’s Fiona’s turn to decide what is important in her life. I hope you enjoy this romantic journey that strums on the heartstrings and invites you to fall for this winning couple.

      At the time of writing this, the announcement of David Bowie’s death had hit the airwaves. A true pioneer and participant of life and music was gone. But one of the most memorable parts of his life was his love for Iman and the beautiful courtship of his soul mate that led to their marriage.

      The power of love is magical, lasting and transformative.

      I hope you also feel the magic with One to Win.

      Peace,

      Michelle
