Suspense | Romance Contemporary

They say your first love is unforgettable, but Allison Southby would love to forget. Thankfully, she’s always had her work to keep her mind off her non-existent love life. But when her boss and mentor dies mysteriously, and a rival company threatens to steal their customers, her focus should be on preserving her mentor’s legacy and the company she loves…and yet, she can’t keep her mind—or her hands—off her late boss’s son, Adam. Who just happens to be the same man who left her heart in pieces when he ran from her bed after a single night together, and has kept her at arm’s length ever since. Detective Adam Byrnes needs to get back to the life he’s built in Phoenix. Sure, it’s far from his family, but it also keeps him away from Allison…and temptation. But between the questions surrounding his father’s death, and keeping Allison safe, he can’t seem to leave the city of Chicago. With danger swirling around them, can they find the love they once shared?

Re: Second Time's the Charm

I had a charm that I wore on a necklace around my neck. In
fact, I wore this particular charm for about 25 years. It
wouldn't mean anything to anyone else but to me or my
Husband, so the charm is irrelevant, but about 2 months ago,
while we were out shopping, somehow the necklace either
broke, or undid from my neck, and I lost the entire thing!!
I really haven't been quite the same since, and don't really
have the money to replace the necklace, or the charm, since
they were both in gold. I checked with the stores I was
shopping at, and nobody turned it in, which I didn't expect
anyone to do, since they're worth some money. To purchase
the same items in silver wouldn't have the same meaning to
me, and I don't know if I could even find the charm in
silver. For now, my neck is bare, as is my heart.

I'm not really into lucky charms (well I confess to enjoying the cereal lol) but I don't like to travel without my pillow. Whether it's the comfort of something from home or not having to fear I won't like the hotel pillows, I always sleep so much better when I have my pillow with me (it's a small neck pillow) and anytime I can get a great night's sleep I feel lucky - so does that count? :)

Peggy - That is so sad. I went through a period where I woudn't wear my jewelry that had meaning so I wouldn't lose it. I would just look at it sitting in the jewelry box. Then I decided that was silly. I'd enjoy it while I had it. I've lost things here and there, but at least I got to enjoy them for awhile. : }

Nicole- Sure that counts. Nothing beats a good pillow. I was using a "not-so-good" pillow for a few months and had the worst headaches and back aches. Now that I switched it out, I'm feeling better.

Great Post, Vanessa! I am 61 and I STILL make a wish on the first star I see! Your book looks fabulous. Best of luck

I have a golf ball with a hummingbird on it that I always keep in my golf bag but never use.
(Sue Farrell 12:40pm April 16, 2014)

Penny- Thank you so much! I have to admit, I wish on the first star, too. It's something you just don't grow out of. : }
(Vanessa M. Knight 12:40pm April 16, 2014)

Sue - That sounds so cute. How fun! I'd be afraid to wear off the hummingbird, too.

A rabbit's foot??? Wasn't very lucky for the rabbit was it?
Sorry, I had to repeat my father's worst joke - and he had a
lot of bad jokes.
I don't know if it's a lucky charm. It's more like a
security blanket. I love my rings. Wedding ring on my left
hand, college ring on my right. Watch me when I'm nervous. I
twiddle them!

My wedding ring counts as one to me. I'm lost without it.
It broke ones -- totally snapped where it had been sized
many years before. I was a basket case while waiting for it
to be fixed. It is a little too big right now, but I can't
stand the thought of being without it while waiting for it
to be sized. Luckily I have an engagement ring to keep on
the wedding band. :-)

I've always heard that Black Hills gold jewelry brought you luck and believed it did while wearing it. So, I purchased a few pieces to wear. I never had anything bad happen when I wore a ring, earrings, necklace etc. One night, I almost lost my finger when one larger elongated ring that went up to the middle knuckle caught in the corner of the door handle of my car really hard; so hard that it actually put a bend in the center of this extremely thick hard ring. The jeweler couldn't even get it move or bend back to the way it originally was. He couldn't believe that was done with such force that it didn't take off my entire finger...so, I have to think that the BHG jewelry really is "lucky" to the one that wears it!
