Rayna Norton. Third born daughter of William and Ella Norton.
Parents are divorced. Five single and successful sisters who mind all other business but their own. Beautiful lawyer, content to live out her days as a independent woman.
Her mother and sisters have other plans for her non-existant dating life.
A passing encounter, an expressed interest (on his part), and a mishap that lands her in the "injured" column changes the course of her life.
The plotting begins.Enter Christopher Leigh as the chosen. Rayna could care less.
She is willing to fight both Chris and her sisters every step of the way. They just don't understand. Not everyone's life is meant to be filled with rambunctious children and a husband who is too busy to spend time with any of them.
Her younger sister would have a field day dissecting that statement. Rayna could care less and would prefer they leave her life alone.
Not going to happen. She's their new mission. Once a Norton digs in their heels, there is no letting go.
Mother Hen is usually the phrase that best describes who Zoie Norton is to her family, friends, and day care babies. Despite all of the mothering, she gets to do with everyone else her internal clock is ticking. Zoie has decided to take matters in her own hands. When things take a horrifying turn, a light in the form of a man shines into the darkness. Victor Cole is everything she doesn't even know she needs in her life.Zoie isn't the most receptive individual when he enters her world. Given what she'd just had to endure it's a wonder she's able to still breathe. She does and when she does she finds there's more hope and love waiting for her if she'd only open herself up to it. ~ Good planning means learning to be flexible when changes come.
Sounding Board is what she’s always been seen as. It’s a wonder any of them—her sisters—have been able to function without her. It came as no surprise to anyone when she became a counselor. It did shock the family when she became a child psychologist.Unresolved childhood issues are the driving force behind her career choice. They are also the reason a love life. James is bound and determined to have her see beyond the pain of her past.~ Some of the best therapies come from the least likely sources
Outcast. Black sheep. The Little Drummer Girl.All names she’s been called in her short life. Names she’s had to adjust to hearing because she marched to her own beat. She didn’t listen to what people told her was best for her life. As if that weren’t enough of a cliché, being the quintessential baby of the family, she’s gotten into her fair share of trouble.Now, she’s truly gone and done it. The secret from Christmas wasn’t the only thing she was keeping to herself. Chyra had to one up her best, worst day. The next step in her journey proves to be one for the record books, for all involved.~Some secrets are better never having seen the light of day.
Opinionated. Outspoken. Repeatedly finding her foot squarely centered in her mouth. All words and phrases that fit Lynnia's personality perfectly. Not that she'd admit it to anyone. Not even herself.
If she can't admit to such trivial things, how does anyone expect her to willingly offer up what she's feeling about one of her closest friends? Things would be easier if she kept it to herself. All things considered, the woman he's currently dating included, it's the best for all who are involved.
The problem with doing that is having to accept that as her reality. There are some pills even she isn't ready to swallow.
Switzerland. Savvy. Studious. Last but never least. The last Norton standing isn't thinking about her life or her relationship status. She's content to do the job she feels chosen to do. Living the life she leads and encountering the situations she does has her on edge.Edge leads to pre-determinations. Those pre-determinations lead to assumptions. Said assumptions lead Wynter to cross paths with someone she never would've expected to meet. Good or bad, she has some choices to make.~ There is a reason they say know all the facts before you judge someone.
