A McClendon Thanksgiving — Sean D. Young

For a perfect fit, sometimes you have to make a few alterations.

Faith McClendon put her promising fashion career on hold to support her investment banker husband's climb to financial success--only to be dumped for another woman. The thirty-year-old fashion designer has come home to Chicago to start over, this time on her own terms. Amid the lingering sting of betrayal, there's one bright spot. A renewed friendship with childhood buddy Michael Montgomery. For years, Michael pretended to be Faith's husband to fend off unwanted attention, gave her a shoulder to cry on, and cheered the loudest when she left home for fashion school. Through it all, he never stopped loving her. Time hasn't dimmed the spark between them, but when another man hits on her, Michael realizes it's time to stop hiding his true feelings. This thirty-one-year-old professional photographer is ready to pose for his own family portrait--with Faith as his wife.

Warning: Contains a photographer who's through being pictured in a brother-ish light, and a fashionista who's not sure her heart is quite mended enough to risk further alterations.
