Everything Has Changed
Marry Me For Money
Leaving her small
town behind, Bethany Casse moves to Chicago in search of a new life. Working at
a top financial bank brings her into contact with two men who are as different
as night and day.
Kent Plack, heir
to Plack Industries, has no interest in being with a woman for longer than one
night. A spoiled and lazy man-whore, he is completely content with his playboy
lifestyle, and Beth is surprised when they form an unlikely friendship.
Brian Burcham, a
finance banker, is gorgeous and respectful. A man plucked from Beth’s dreams,
he is definite husband material. Unfortunately, Beth has a hard rule against
dating coworkers, but Brian is determined to change her mind.
When a deadbeat
mother and money problems follow her to Chicago, Beth is offered a solution
that could fix everything. Marrying for money seems simple enough, but when
lines become blurred, Beth faces difficult choices, making her realize that the
easy way out just made her life even harder than before.

Everything Has Changed
Bliss Carrington
has known Jimmy most of her life, since first grade to be exact. He took on the
role of the big brother Bliss never had. Breaking Bliss out of her shy shell,
encouraging her to have fun in high school, and pushing her to live her life to
the fullest. It’s always been friendship between them until one day, she
realized, it wasn’t. Now seeing women everywhere swoon over Jim Brason, NFL's
head quarterback of the New York Cougars, is enough to drive her to madness.
Jim Brason is on
a fast track to fame and money. In all this craziness, the one person who keeps
him sane, and whole is Bliss. He’s been in love with her since before forever,
but she doesn’t know and can never find out. He’s a firm believer that history
repeats itself. With his tainted past, he’s afraid he’s fated to hurt her if he
allows himself to follow his heart.
Bliss watched
this boy grow into a man and it wasn’t fair that someone else would get to keep
him when in her heart, she knew he only ever belonged to her.
Can their
friendship survive? Can she live pining over a guy who will never commit? She
doesn’t want to live like this, but she doesn’t know a life without him either.
EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED is a story of
Love, Loss, and Longing for the boy you grew up loving.

Marry Me For Money
Excerpt
My pounding on
the door accelerated louder and louder while the beat of my heart raced in my
chest. I’d been calling Kent for two days, and he hadn’t picked up. The last
time I’d seen him was when he left the bar drunk.
When he opened
the door, I released the breath that I had been holding. His hair was
disheveled and he looked like a mess but I didn’t care. I was just so relieved
to see him in person, safe in front of me. As I walked in the room, I noticed
all the shades were drawn, and his apartment reeked of a foul smell.
“Where have you
been? I’ve been worried about you. I was about to call your mom, but I didn’t
want to worry her,” I said, pushing past him and barging into the condo.
I followed behind
him and surveyed the room. Liquor bottles and beer cans were on the floor, and
shot glasses and tumblers spanned every inch of the coffee table.
I dropped my bag
on he hardwood floor and started to draw up the shades. I heard Kent huff as I
drew the first set. He pulled a pillow over his head to block the sunlight from
hitting his face.
“Did you have a
part and not invite me?” My head lifted towards the bedroom, and I was relieved
that there wasn’t a woman in his bed.
I walked into the
kitchen, got out a garbage bag, and started tossing out the cans and bottles,
one by one. With each drop into the bag, I could feel my temperature rising.
“Do you want to die of alcohol poisoning or something?” I asked, hearing the
bottle drop with a ping as it hit the bottom of the bag touching the floor.
“Seriously,
what’s the matter with you? I don’t want to be your mom, but what the hell is
this? I mean, you can party, but party responsibly,” I scolded.
I stopped towards
him and lifted the pillow from his head. “Are you hearing me right now? What’s
the matter with you?”
He lifted his
head to look at me. The bags under his eyes were noticeably dark. “What do you
care?”
I was taken aback
by his tone, but I let it pass. “I care that you don’t die,” I said, glaring at
him. “I’ve been calling you. The least you could have done was called me back
to tell me you were alive.”
He sat up slowly
as if every bone in his body ached, and he placed his head in both his hands.
“How’s Brian?” he asked, his voice sharp.
I reeled back,
startled by his question. “Okay,” I replied, unsure of where this was headed.
“Did you give him
his birthday present?” Kent snapped, lifting his head to meet my eyes, his jaw
clenched.
