CHARACTERS:
Nicholas Underwood--the MC. Works as Christian' PA, though it's mostly an excuse for Christian to have him around. Vaguely neurotic with low self-esteem. Blond hair, blue eyes.
Christian DeLongeria--second MC. Nicholas' best friend. Incredibly wealthy head of DeLongeria Enterprises. Julianna is his wife and the mother of his children, but it is well understood that Nicholas has his heart. Black hair, brown eyes.
David Jacobson--Nicholas' love interest. He's just a guy with a job until he meets Nicholas and has his life changed forever. A somewhat stern man, Nicholas makes him feel emotions he's never known before and he refuses to release those feelings.
Francis "Frankie" Beauregard--Nicholas' brother. A world famous singer known as "The Crooner." He's always been Nicholas' hero, though there's a mix of envy in there too. He's always been wild and carefree and he left home without a single look back. Has a car salesman's smile. Nicholas is the only one that calls him Francis; he lost that boy a long time ago.
Emily Dante-Underwood--Nicholas' cousin. There's tragedy there.
Julianna DeLongeria--Christian's wife.
Natasha Swaggart--David's cousin. A beautiful blond bombshell with surprising depths. She's the kind of girl that always has a story to tell about amazing things she couldn't possibly have done, except she has. Involved in all kinds of crazy adventures all of the time, yet still able to offer a snarky comment or a hug when needed. She's a great friend to have and a terrible enemy.
Riley Curtain--Natasha's best friend. People are always surprised that someone like Natasha would be friends with Riley, but he takes it all in stride. He's a genuinely nice guy that works hard and rarely has a moment to relax. Being friends with Natasha has saved his sanity over the years.
Alfred Underwood--Nicholas' father and Imogene's third husband. He understands Imogene more than she knows and he doesn't let her get into trouble. He has never been a very amiable man and it is only now that he's beginning to regret it.
Imogene Underwood--Nicholas and Francis' mother. When she falls in love, she falls in love completely, which usually leads to desperate heartbreak. Blond hair, blue eyes.
Carlton Beauregard--Francis' father and Imogene's second husband. He ran off with Imogene's dressing maid and a good chunk of the family fortune. He is persona non grata. Brown hair, brown eyes.

Summary: Nicholas and Christian are in Seattle for work and they stop off at a party Francis is giving. While there, Nicholas meets David and agrees to go out with him.
