Nina Singh lives just outside of Boston, USA, with her husband, children and a very rambunctious Yorkie. After several years in the corporate world she finally followed the advice of family and friends to âgive the writing a go, alreadyâ. Sheâs oh-so-happy she did. When not at her keyboard she likes to spend time on the tennis court or golf course. Or immersed in a good read.
To my mother and father. For all their faith.
âMs Singh has done an interesting job with this novel...her characters came to life and you didnât want to close the book on them.â

THE HOUSE WAS COLD.
Carli Tynan wasnât surprised. In fact, sheâd never once entered this mansion and ever felt warm. Regardless of the season. And, despite the myriad of Christmas decorations currently adorning the foyer, nothing about the home felt particularly festive. Or even like a home. No, the Hammond estate felt more like a staid museum.
The eleven-foot-tall pine Christmas tree that nearly touched the ceiling notwithstanding.
Shaking the thin layer of snow off her wool coat, she peeled off her faux leather gloves, the bound portfolio tucked under her right arm. The darn portfolio was the only reason she was here, the reason her usual morning routine had been so handily disrupted. Carli was not a fan of disruptions. Sheâd already had to deal with way too many in her twenty-six years.
Her boss, Jackson Hammond, had asked her just this morning to drop off the file on her way in to work. Right after sheâd gotten back from her early-morning run. It had barely given her time to shower, let alone to put herself together as well as she normally liked. As a result, her unruly curls were now a mess of tangles hastily secured in a haphazard bun on top of her head. She hadnât even had a chance to iron her remaining clean suit. The only other option was a stretch pencil dress that had recently shrunk after sheâd accidently thrown it in the dryer. Comfortable, it was not.
But she had a day full of meetings in the office, and this was the best she could do. Not at all the way she would have preferred to start off her morning. Or any morning for that matter.
All because the prodigal son was returning home.
Justin Hammond, Jacksonâs second-born, had been the one to request the portfolio. And apparently, he needed it before he could make it into the office. Carli had to accommodate him. Why was he suddenly heading back into town anyway? Justin hadnât had anything to do with Hammondâs Toys since sheâd been employed there. Now, suddenly, he was interested. Carli stepped farther into the foyer and couldnât resist the urge to roll her eyes. No doubt Justinâs sudden interest was due to his older brother Jamesâs recent distractions, so to speak. James had apparently met someone and was now taking a well-deserved break from the day-to-day business. Little brother must have concluded that this was an ideal time to strike.
Never mind that Carli should be the one next in line to take over any of the duties James may be ready to relinquish. She couldnât help but feel a little insulted.
And hurt. Well, sheâd just have to get over it. Then sheâd have to work even harder to ensure she got the position she deserved.
She walked up to the foot of the stairs and yelled up toward the second floor. âMr. Hammond, Iâm dropping off the file.â
