Alexis Black is finally on her way to becoming a successful journalist - and moving to London!
After ending things with her boyfriend of over three years, she has finally decided to go travel like she has always wanted to and the magazine she works for is helping her pay for it by putting her to work.
Finding herself to be in the right place at the right time for so many events, she can see that her career will flourish on her trip, but will her love life?
After meeting Richard Greene, the Man of the Year, and finding that he has taken an interest in her, she wonders if she has finally found the electric love she's been looking for...or if she's just part of a rich man's games.
As she reached for a glass as the waiter passed by she scanned the room. No more time to talk to press. She had gathered some valuable information about the evening from some of them that would work in her article, but she needed to start making first-hand connections for future stories. She stopped in her tracks as she thought she had finally set eyes on the woman of the evening.
“Oh, damn,” she heard as someone ran into her. She was instantly mentally kicking herself. She had stopped too quickly and now someone had run into her. She turned to see that it was even worse than she thought.
“Oh my god, I am so sorry,” she started, grabbing the nearest cocktail napkins she could from a table. She could see that the man behind her had spilled red wine on the floor and was holding the glass away from his body as though it had also spilled on his tuxedo. “No, no, no. I can’t believe I did that. I’m so sorry, sir,” she said vigorously dabbing his chest.
“Really, it’s fine,” he said, his smooth, deep voice catching her off guard. She looked up because a voice like that had to belong to either a king or a radio show host. “I managed to keep from spilling it on myself, I think,” he said, smiling at her as she looked up at him in awe, holding the napkins still on his chest now. She pulled away quickly once she recovered from what she had done.
