“You comin’?” he asks him, “We need to celebrate.”
“I’m coming,” Drake replies with a grin, following us to the master bedroom. Sloane lays me down on the mattress gently—perhaps a bit too gently—and they both lay down by my side. I kiss Sloane and then Drake, and then I let a bright laugh slip out from between my lips.
My God, I’m so happy right now. And to think that just over a year ago my life was a complete mess: fighting my mother, trying to secure my company… And now, just look at me! I have more money than I can count and a multi-million dollar apartment!
But that’s almost insignificant, you know? Because I don’t care about money, wealth, or luxury. I’m not my mother, after all. There are only two things I care about in this world: Drake and Sloane. Well, three things now, since we’re having a baby.
Our family just keeps growing.
And so does our happiness.

Foreword
For 5 years, I lived in New York City. I woke up in my Midtown East one bedroom apartment in Beekman Place and went for a run along the East River. I got home at 6:45 and got ready for work and was on the 6 train at 51st Street and Lexington Avenue headed towards Wall Street. Five days a week. 52 weeks a year, minus any vacations.
To say I’ve seen some things during that time would be an understatement. I’ve seen the best and worst in people.
I’ve seen moments that touched my heart. And scenes that made me ashamed to be a human being.
But through it all, there was a common theme. An undercurrent.
For anyone who is familiar with my writing, one of the themes that run through it is my predilection to set the story in New York City.
There’s no other city in the world that takes the best in people, combines it with the worst and creates a melting pot of absolute gritty perfection.
Like a wealthy, unshaven, well-dressed, handsome, man. A hint of danger. A touch of familiarity. A sense of being part of something greater than anything else. Feeling part of history just by walking the streets. As if you’re in the center of the world. Crossroads of humanity.
This is a book of love stories in multiple forms. Love stories between man and woman. Between various professions and statuses. And between me and the city I love where I spend 6 months of my life each year.
These stories are pre-Alexis Angel. They were written by me when I lived in New York City. They were never published. Until today.
I hope you enjoy them.
Love,
Alexis
