Ever since James Barrington the third was a small child, he hated being told what to do. Yes, he was a rebel, a wild child. His mother died when he was in his teens, barely fourteen and his father… Well, suffice to say, he tried his best to tame James, make him into his image. He failed. Miserably. The more he pushed, the more James pulled. Then there was his grandfather. James’ father was his clone. To top it all off, he was the only child. The heir to the Barrington billions. Now his grandfather and father were setting an ultimatum. Give up his philandering and wild ways, get married and take over Barrington Enterprises. Or face being disinherit-ed. Even arranged for him to meet Marcy Davenport, eldest daughter of Richard Davenport, one of the richest and most influential families in Westwood. He loved his freedom he was twenty-six for heaven sakes. So, James being the rebel he was, promised himself to marry the first woman he runs into who didn’t know him from a bar of soap, just to shut the old men up. Destiny Johnson is a girl from the other side of the track. Growing up in a poor neighborhood, Destiny was used to having very little. Now she lives in a trailer park and works at a convenience store. James sets out to turn her into the perfect girl to impress his grandfather and father, the James’s as he calls them. But as he tries to change Destiny to fit his mold, she is slowly changing his universe around. With her different outlook on the world, she slowly reels James in, making him into the man he was meant to be. Call it fate or call it Karma… An accidental meeting changed both their lives in an instant.

DESTINY

Luke took me home, and later that afternoon, the mechanic brought my Suzy back. I would have been happy had it not been because my husband didn’t know who I was and left together with Jenna and his father.

What was I supposed to do? Go after them and demand they give him back to me? I laughed at myself for that idea. But then, I thought it just might be the right thing to do. We were married, after all. I was expecting his child. His father couldn’t throw me out. Could he? Who was I kidding? I wouldn’t put anything past the Barrington’s.

“Do you think I should get a lawyer?” I asked Luke while pushing my dinner around on the plate. Mrs. D made a gorgeous stew, but I didn’t have an appetite.

“Why are you asking me, Destiny?” Luke finished his third cup of coffee since we’ve been back. “If you think you need one, maybe you should.” He eyed my plate. “You gonna eat that?”
