Sean Proper, the youngest principal ever
to head the renowned Kensington Academy, knows he’s smart and driven to
succeed, but he has no idea he’s also living proof that miracles do happen.
Unaware of the truth, he can’t foresee how radically his life will be altered
by his introduction to Prim Aurora, a businesswoman whose past is shrouded in
mystery. Each having extremely different and unusual upbringings, neither Sean
nor Prim ever intend to become seriously involved in any romantic relationship.
Prim’s inexplicable fears, Sean’s need to be in control, and the appearance of
a dead body in the Aurora family home will test the passion and love between
them. As their relationship is jeopardized by past events and a killer still on
the loose, their determination and commitment to their dream of a life spent
together is threatened. Only elusive revelations regarding the secrets in
Prim’s past and the circumstances relating to the miracle surrounding Sean’s
birth can provide Prim and Proper with the promise of a happy future.
Sean pulled off his boxers and added them
to the pile of clothes. He smiled at
Prim and inquired as to whether or not she wanted him to do a 360 degree
turn. She shook her head and asked
seriously if she could touch his skin.
He nodded.
Prim rose from the couch and came to stand
in front of him. She ran her hands along
his shoulders, chest, and belly and examined his tattoo. Putting her arms
around his waist, she asked about the colorful wings, what they meant, and why
he’d gotten them on his chest and not his back.
As he slipped his arms around her, Sean hoped he didn’t come on the
spot.
“I had the tattoo done when I was
sixteen. I was really struggling
emotionally but knew I couldn’t let things get to me. It wasn’t only my future at stake; it was
Mom’s, Dad’s, and Debra’s, too. I had to
keep everything going. If I didn’t, then
the consequences would’ve been disastrous.
So, I decided to do something for myself that would remind me every day
that life might be a bitch but I couldn’t give up and break or it’d be much
worse for everyone else I held close to my heart. I found a tattooist I liked, lied about my
age, and explained to him what I wanted.
I’ve looked at that tattoo every day for the last fourteen years, and it
makes me appreciate that I’ve never let anything break my wings.”
“Did it hurt to have the tattoo done?”
“Yes.
I knew it would, but I didn’t care.
I needed one thing that was just for me.”
Prim looked up at him and asked if she
could touch his hips and legs. He told
her she could touch him anywhere she wanted.
