Working out of town, Charlie meets a troubled waitress, and the love of the rest of his life. Running away from a terrible home life, she finds a fairy tale, complete with knight in shining armor.
Josh, while taking a break from his stocks and securities activities, encountered a troubled woman in Hawaii. He wound up in the middle of a debacle, between a sibling rivalry and an Adonis, but wound up making the trade of his life. The sisters/lesbian tag comes to light very, very late in the story and is not a prominent theme.
He finds a damsel in distress, in a casino lobby of all places. An unlikely couple for sure. Ups and downs, mostly ups. Good people and bad guys, but mostly fun and romance. (codes apply to entire story, so far)
A dinner date with his late sister-in-law's children turns out terribly, but then life turns it around wonderfully, as life sometimes does, and he learns to love again.
