Three Valentines, Ronan
Ronan has had a life plan since he was in middle school. Take dual enrollment classes, graduate with honors, and score a full ride scholarship to his choice of university. Enroll in M.I.T. as a late season freshman, or even a sophomore if possible. Focus of study — biomedical engineering. His plan is going great! He loads up on double the standard class load of every other student, and completes the work with no problem. He’s got his bachelor’s degree, and is working toward his master’s with intentions of jumping straight into his doctorate. Two weeks away from the start of the new semester he’s seated in the dean’s office of a new university, begging to be allowed to register and attend on a probationary basis until his official transcripts arrive. If allowed, his scholarship will be left behind, and he’ll become responsible for his own tuition. It’s a place he never expected to be in, but doesn’t hesitate. He’s got everything he never knew he wanted right in front of him, and he can’t look away from the unexpected possibilities fate has tossed his way. He might not be able to force the situation to his liking, but he can place himself in a position in which he can’t be ignored. From there, he’ll work it out. He’ll go to school, get his degrees, and pursue the mate he never considered. He has no choice. Because she’s here.
Traded by her father to a crime family to cover his debt, Giada soon became the wife of its heir apparent. It didn’t take her long to learn to keep her head down and her mouth shut. It wasn’t the life she’d hoped for, but it was the one she was dealt and she found a way to make it work. Until her sons arrived. Her husband resented them and the attention she paid to them. Life became a constant struggle to keep her babies safe, by preventing them from attracting their father’s attention in any way. Leaving wasn’t an option thanks to the bodyguards assigned to her and the kids by her father-in-law. His death eventually provided the distraction she needed to slip away, and despite being homeless and struggling to survive, she’s never looked back. She has no doubt her husband all these years later is still searching for her — it’s a matter of pride for him. So she’s learned to remain unseen, to become silent, unremarkable. Until she’s offered a job working in the new homeless shelter that pays cash — cash that can’t be tracked. Thankful for an opportunity that will allow her to safely provide for her babies, she takes it. What she didn’t count on is one of the boss’s sons setting his sights on her. Despite repeatedly refusing him, she has become his focus. Why does he even see her? She’s mastered flying under the radar while becoming practically invisible. No one notices her; why is this one any different?
