Portrait of an Unlikely Affair: Book 1

By Em Brooks

A celebrity with a pedigree, Avonlea Stone was used to her life being certain - living a certain lifestyle, being treated a certain way, and dating a certain type of man. After being attacked by an obsessed fan at nineteen, she broke off her engagement and hid, avoiding the spotlight in her own life until she decided to take a chance on dating again. However, she never expected that Connor Jones, her new boyfriend, would be the key to finding the very thing she didn't know she was missing when he asks her to go home to meet his parents. It surprises her when Connor's mysterious step-brother, Brian Ridley, becomes an intriguing puzzle to her. Brian is unlike anyone she has ever known before. He is definitely not the kind of man a woman of Avonlea's status would ever look twice at, should ever look twice at, as they couldn't be more wrong for each other. He is a nobody who is sick with a terminal disease and has an overprotective father. But, what makes Brian even more unsuited for her is the secret as to who and what he is. Even after her relationship with Connor ends and still not knowing Brian's past, Avonlea offers to help Brian get the help he needs to find a cure for the disease that he's lived with. Despite the odds against them, one decision, made on a whim, starts Avonlea on an adventure that would test everything she ever thought about herself and offer her a chance at a life she never knew she wanted. This is just the beginning of a six book adventure that entangles the reader in life, love, and honor.
