One Life to Live 

Evangeline Williamson is a brilliant attorney with a pragmatic approach to life and who always tried to do the right thing when it came to her clients and her job.  But it all come crashing down after her most notorious client, Todd Manning, is found guilty and later exonerated of a crime he didn’t commit. Her career and reputation gasping at death’s door, Evangeline accepts Todd’s offer to become chief counsel for Buchanan Enterprises, a company he’s recently acquired through a hostile takeover.  

The pay is substantial and the perks keep coming.  But there’s no client more demanding than Todd Manning and two years later Evangeline has had enough of living his chaotic life instead of her own. She tells him as much and gives him two weeks notice to find a replacement, forcing Todd to realize just how desperate he is to keep her in his life—not only as his attorney but as the woman who’s stolen his heart.

Ugly Betty

Something about setting things on fire always seemed to put her in the mood.

Their love affair was never destined to go on for a lifetime - his father made sure of that outcome. Pregnant and alone Celia found comfort in the arms of Joseph who became a husband to her and a father to Joshua...the only man she could place her faith and trust.

Circumstances change and she had to seek out the one man that still had a part of her soul. How would things play out and how would it affect those around them?

Evangeline Wiiliamson lays in a coma after an attack by a white supremacy group.  Todd Manning wants to take her for an unorthodox treatment that may possibly increase the chances of awakening the sleeping beauty.   However, her family has barred him from her side and refused his offer of help.  As Evangeline runs out of time, Todd decides that drastic times call for drastic measures and audaciously takes matters into his own hands, believing in his heart that there are just some risks that are worth taking.  

Meanwhile, a mysterious Asian, who unwittingly stumbles onto the latest and possibly the most outrageous of Manning's schemes, intervenes, but the fiesty younger Williamson sister, Layla, isn't exactly grateful for his "assistance".  Stalwartly fighting her fear of the stranger, she eventually manages to turn the tables on him.  Yet when freed from his clutches, she can't help but wonder who this mystery man is, what his role is in the "scheme" of things and why she can't seem to get him out of her mind.

Pathologist Alexx Woods has been widowed for well over two years now.  Promoted to Chief Medical Examiner, she’s flourishing professionally.   Friends and colleagues at Miami-Dade’s CSI department have been wonderfully supportive, especially bad boy CSI Ryan Wolfe, who, to the surprise of everyone, has gone above and beyond the call of friendship in his quest to ‘be there’ for the team’s favorite ‘mother’ figure. 

Yet as Valentine’s Day approaches, life is about to change once again for Alexx.  It all starts with a misunderstanding and the arrival of an unexpected visitor.  The startling revelations that ensue compel her to delve into long suppressed emotions, confront rigid societal conventions and her own deep seeded fears about loving again.
