Kent Fraser pulled up in front of his parents' home in Islington, a borough of London, and parked. Family dinner was a twice-a-month event when he and his stepbrother and stepsister headed back to their home base. No matter where they were, short of living overseas, they stuck to the tradition. If he bothered to be honest, they stuck to the tradition because he insisted. Dinners, reunions, BBQs helped him stay connected with the blended family and not be the graft that needed to be sawed away. His mother had a new husband and two new children from his previous marriage. She'd moved on with life and with love. Kent, on the other hand, erected a solid wall around his heart to ward off the expected complications that came with family life. He had to move on, but his heels were firmly dug in to hinder any forward movement. Life promised to be much simpler when he threw himself into his career. Love, well, that was like relying on a leaking cup to quench one's thirst-unreliable and inadequate. Camille, his mother, and stepfather, Alister, wanted him to feel as though he belonged. And he really did want to fit in. Over ten years had passed since his mother's divorce from his father had split apart not only money and emotions, but had also shattered lives. The breakdown in their marriage had started much earlier, as they had been a mismatched pair. Surviving the side effects was difficult and ongoing. His father hadn't bothered to stay in touch, disappearing like a vapor trail after the divorce proceedings were finalized. "Kent, you're on time." His mom leaned in for the customary kiss on her cheek. She took the wine he offered and headed into the kitchen. "Kent, good to see you." Alister shook his hand and moved in for an awkward hug. "You, too." "Laci and Ben are in the sitting room," his mother shouted from the kitchen, amidst the ringing sounds of pots being moved from one place to the other. Kent entered the room and immediately hugged his step-siblings until they laughingly protested. "You all look so tanned." Both of their sandy brown heads had lightened into a halo of golden-brown curls. Laci grinned. "We were in Costa del Sol, Spain. Duh. Thanks for the suggestion, by the way. The driving service you'd contacted met us at the airport and whisked us away for the best holiday experience." "Next time, I'm bringing some friends, so I can act posh with them." Ben had too much of a gentle, amiable soul to be considered snobbish. However, he attended a private secondary school where most of the students were born with titles of nobility and an air of entitlement. "Stop spoiling them," his mother chided him. She ushered in a teasing scent of dinner in her wake. "Stop spoiling us." His stepfather's smile barely shifted his lips. The attempt resulted in a tight-faced grimace. "I don't mind." Kent spoke slowly to reiterate his point. His mother sent him a silent plea from behind her spectacles. No skirmishes ton Fiction Fiction eBook, Harlequin<
