Calling (Ivy)

Growing up a preacher's kid, (or better known as a "PK"), meant that Joshua Hale had to live by some tuff rules. But now as an adult, Joshua lived by his own rules. The first rule: never ever fall in love. Joshua surrounded himself with beautiful woman, but was tied to none. His one and only love was his career. Making sure that the highly successful sporting agency, owned by him and his two brothers, Noah and Malachi stayed successful was his top priority. But, now with his father's illness, knowing that either he or one of his brothers would have to take their father's place as pastor, Joshua could find himself living by a whole new set of rules…. Samira Morgan had a great career as a successful photographer and was still able to dabble in her first love as an artist, but she still never got over her other first love, Joshua Hale. Growing up as best friends, somewhere along the way she fell in love with him. Years later she was willing to accept that Joshua would never love her back, but one thing she still wanted more than anything was to sleep with him. Joshua's reputation as a lover was well known and all she wanted was the chance to spend one night as his lover. The problem was, would one night be enough or was she setting herself up for heartbreak....

Noah Hale has always been the protector of his family, following right behind his father. It was a role that he had proudly owned with no equivocation. Even more so, now that his father was ill. But one unexpected meeting caused him to doubt the loyalty that had never been questioned. One look at her and he knew exactly what he wanted. Only thing was, claims had already been made on her. It seems that they both had made promises already that had set their lives on different paths; still, that didn't stop him from wanted it anyway. But, regardless of what he wanted, he had to find a way to please those he loved, even if it meant giving up on what he wanted more than anything else…. Natalie Sinclair spent most of her life living as others thought she should. One chance meeting changed all of that for her. From the moment she met Noah Hale, it was like the door to a whole new world had opened and all she had to do was walk through it. Unfortunately for her, the only way she could have just a glimpse of that world was to become a run-away-bride…so she did; right to the door steps of the one man that held the key to the world she desperately wanted-even if she could only have it for a little while…..
