Secrets of Delight — Michelle Love

Max sent Alexis away and this time it looks like it may be over for good between them. His resentment over Alexis moving in with Logan and planning to marry him and start a family are all too much for Max to take when Alexis won't even agree to a date for them to marry. Alexis makes her way back to Dallas to resume her modeling career and tries to put Max behind her. Ross Stevens, a fellow model begins working with Alexis and Marcos, reminding Alexis of how things used to be before her abduction. Max's mother, Sissy, is sent back to Max from rehab, as they've found a bit more wrong with her than was previously thought. Max is forced to accept her back into his home and finds himself dealing with issues he never had before. The past may help him deal with the present. But will that be enough for Max and Alexis to have a shot at happiness?
