I wasn't the only woman in the world who had been cheated on. I certainly wasn't the only woman who had sworn off men because of it. I was, however, one of the few who was willing to stick to my guns about it. Men would sometimes see that as a challenge, but before too long they would realize I wasn't interested.I planned on staying single forever, and nothing, absolutely nothing could possibly change my mind. Even a chance meeting with someone as wonderful and gorgeous as Max Blair didn't faze me. I wasn't attracted to his looks, fame, skill, or ambition. I was perfectly fine getting to know Max as a person without adding all the complications of dating. Sure, I was a little starstruck at times, but I had that under control. And then again, maybe I was a little attracted to him, too. But who wouldn't be? The problem was that he seemed to like me.Even still, I would stay single forever.Forgetting about Max Blair would be a piece of cake.

I was all set to embark on the most epic adventure of my life. I was ready for anything. My life had been filled with predictability since the day I was born, but that was about to change. I had devised a plan. Over the course of the next five years, I would live in five different cities. I would get to see, taste, and experience things I had previously only read about. I had been preparing for this moment for nearly a decade, and now it was time.Then something happened. A sweet, innocent little old lady said a few words that changed everything. She was aware of my travel plans and she urged me to make a detour. She was convinced there was something and someone waiting for me elsewhere. I thought that was nice and all... but I already a plan, and it did not include a twin named Jasper in Astoria.

I knew the Blair brothers. It was impossible to grow up in Astoria and not be familiar with them.There were four boys in the Blair family, and all of them had that certain something. They were smart, athletic, funny, and gorgeous. If I was forced to pick my favorite, it would have to be Henry. He was the wild one of the bunch-a rock star. Literally. He left Astoria years ago to chase and realize his dreams in Seattle. I still saw his younger brothers quite a bit, but it had been years since I'd seen Henry.That all changed one night when the Blair family came into the restaurant where I worked and sat at my table. Henry just so happened to be with them. I always imagined that he might be the man of my dreams, but after that night, I knew it.

I had always dreamed of falling in love. I was ready and eager to find my happily ever after, but there was just one problem. The man I so desperately wanted to fall for was not available. He was taken-spoken for. He wasn't married, but he had been with someone for a long time. It didn't help matters that she happened to be my friend.Some would say that's how it works, that I really only wanted him because I couldn't have him. That couldn't be farther from the truth. I had fallen for this man years ago, and he had won my heart for so many different reasons. The fact that he was off-the-market had nothing to do with my feelings for him.Did I mention that he was one of the Blair brothers? This made him even more unobtainable. Everyone in Astoria knew and loved the Blair brothers. There were four of them, and they were handsome, kind, driven, and successful. Any of them would have been a great catch. Too bad my heart already belonged to the one I couldn't have.This is the story of how we finally fell in love.

Sometimes you need to make a change in life, and Laney Spencer was about to do just that. She was a talented artist and had been encouraged to move to San Francisco to pursue her dreams. Days after her little sister graduated high school the two packed their truck and headed south to California. Laney was ready for a new start and assumed everything would go perfectly. She assumed the transition would be painless. When her assumptions proved wrong, all she could do was trust that God's plans were better than her own... especially when His plans included finding the man of her dreams.

Finally My Happy Ending, the third and final book in the Meant for Me series, can be read as a stand alone but will be enhanced by reading the first two books.Blind dates are for the birds. Trish Carmichael had been on enough of them to know they weren't her thing. She'd rather go about it naturally and meet someone on her own. The only problem was, it had been over a year since she broke up with her last boyfriend, and she hadn't found anyone yet.She was on her way home from a particularly bad blind date (one she vowed would be her last) when she ran into Brock Rollins at a gas station. Brock had taken something from her in the past, and she harbored grudge against him because of it. She was typically the type to forgive and forget, but the bad date was fresh on her mind, and she ended up unloading on him.Burying the hatchet between the two of them seemed impossible. Seeing him as a love interest was out of the question. But sometimes even the most unlikely things happen.

Bailey Black was a former college athlete who was now enjoying the beginnings of a successful career in Chicago. Some aspects of her life hadn't turned out the way she planned, but she had slowly come to accept that. She thought she was content with her current lifestyle. Then, on a routine weekend visit home, her little cousin made a comment that was the catalyst for her to begin questioning everything. For the first time, she felt led to make changes and start over. But big changes can often be intimidating, and she just wasn't sure she had what it took to follow through. She'd have to trust that God would intervene. Not only would He deliver her from her past, but He would also, through the most unlikely circumstances, deliver to her the man of her dreams.
