      Mills & Boon® launched a nationwide hunt to discover their Man of the Year 2016, a modern-day hero who is fun, authentic and romantic! With help from celebrity judges Denise Welch, Robin Windsor and Rosie Nixon, we are proud to reveal that special someone as the cover star of this book, Courtney Hayles.

      Courtney is an actor, writer and teacher who works hard and dreams big, believing that with determination and motivation, anything is possible. Embracing life to the full, he has travelled widely and says that the only thing he fears is fear itself. ‘When I leave this earth I want to know that I really lived and had a blast with my many adventures.’ Courtney’s perfect date would be meeting for a drink, enjoying good food, dancing and a lot of laughter – ‘There’s nothing better than spending time with someone who makes you laugh and excites the socks off you. The nerves build up and the energy is electric!’

       CHAPTER ONE

      ‘THIS is my favourite part,’ Molly whispered as the glamorous couple on her TV screen walked sadly but stoically to opposite ends of London’s Westminster Bridge. ‘He’s going to turn back to her any minute now.’

      Molly was curled on her couch in a tense ball. Karli, at the other end of the couch, helped herself to more popcorn.

      ‘Don’t miss this, Karli. I cry every time. Look. He hears Big Ben, and he stops, and—’ Molly’s voice broke on a sob. ‘He turns.’ She hugged her knees. ‘See the look on his face?’

      ‘Ohhh …’ Karli let out a hushed breath. ‘You can see he really, really loves her.’

      Karli grabbed a cushion and clutched it to her chest. ‘He’ll chase after her.’

      ‘No. It’s up to her now. If she doesn’t turn back, he knows she doesn’t love him.’
