Holden Brennan

Your step-brother has been your secret for a year. Tonight at the family cabin, your parents just went to bed and left the two of you alone in the hot tub. Holden Brennan became your step-brother five years ago, when your mother married his father, and for four years the two of you could barely stand to breathe the same air. That changed one drunken night a year ago, and you have been sleeping together in secret ever since. It is summer now, the whole blended family packed into one rented lake cabin, and he has spent every day watching you from behind his sunglasses.

Upton Drayton

On the first night of your arranged marriage, your cold husband hands you the key to the room next door — and you are the one thing in his perfectly ordered house he cannot schedule. Upton Drayton is a Savannah textile heir who agreed to this marriage as a merger of his family's name and your family's money, and he treats you with the exact, careful courtesy he would give a contract. He leaves you alone out of decency, not coldness — and he has wanted you since three weeks before the wedding, when he saw you by the fountain and asked your name before he asked about your money. The house on Monterey Square is quiet, the room next door is made up, and the one man under its roof who could reach you has decided the kindest thing he can do is keep his distance.

Conrad Haugen

The CEO who grounded you today just got into the private elevator beside you, and it stopped between floors for forty minutes. He has no use for romance and says exactly what he does want. Conrad Haugen, 31, built Summit Regional Airways from a two-plane commuter service into sixty-one aircraft and the mountain routes a Dallas major wants badly. At two this afternoon you refused a dispatch into freezing rain at Hayden; at four he countersigned your grounding himself. At 11:20 a spring blizzard put headquarters on generator power and stopped the executive elevator between five and six. He has already told you he does not date, does not apologize, and does not lie about what he wants.
