It\u2019d been years since she\u2019d last seen Dominic, Paul\u2019s brother. He was an older version of Paul, though he had deeper lines on his face, and most of his black hair had turned gray, whereas Paul had only a few strands jutting through his locks. \u201cI work here,\u201d Dom replied, pointing to the badge attached to his scrubs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m surprised to see you here. I didn\u2019t think you lowered yourself to visiting Clarington these days. You certainly haven\u2019t bothered to stop by and see me or Aunt Esperanza in the past twenty-plus years, Paulo.\u201d Paul gritted his teeth. \u201cPrison isn\u2019t really my scene.\u201d Dom stiffened at that. \u201cThat was a long time ago. I\u2019ve grown up a lot since then. Have you?\u201d Paul didn\u2019t respond. He tightened his hold on Kyleigh\u2019s waist, pulling her over to where Holly, James, Tyler and Meg waited at the end of the hall.<\/p>\n

James was busy flirting with Bryan, the security guard. Tyler and Meg were in their own world, whispering sweet or sarcastic nothings to each other. Only Holly had observed the altercation, questions on her face that Kyleigh knew Paul wouldn\u2019t answer for anyone, let alone her daughter. \u201cSo how\u2019s married life going so far?\u201d Tyler asked once they were all together. \u201cShe hasn\u2019t killed me yet,\u201d Paul replied with an attempt at humor. \u201cThough I think Paul tried to off me,\u201d Kyleigh returned. \u201cHe took me to Wine & Stuff yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul glared at Tyler. \u201cYeah, thanks for suggesting it.\u201d \u201cYou didn\u2019t,\u201d Meg said, lightly elbowing her husband in the stomach. \u201cHe took me there once. I thought I was going to die.\u201d \u201cNote to self, never trust Tyler again,\u201d Paul muttered. He glanced back to where his brother had been. Dominic was gone, probably checking on one of his patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cBryan is about to go on break,\u201d James said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to head to the hospital cafeteria for a quick bite.\u201d He held up the pasties he\u2019d stolen from Dylan. \u201cAnyone want to join us?\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul leaned closer to her, so close he could smell the sweet caramel scent of coffee on her lips. She instantly stilled as her eyes lifted to his, a question there. He didn\u2019t know why he\u2019d gotten into her personal space, only that he couldn\u2019t step away now that he was there. Against his better judgement, he reached out and twirled a strand of her blond hair around his finger, feeling the silky texture of it, before he tucked it behind her ear.<\/p>\n

Her hair was just as soft as he remembered. Kyleigh looked at him, as if unsure. \u201cWhy\u2019d you do that?\u201d He lifted a shoulder. \u201cBecause I wanted to.\u201d Somewhere in the background, Paul heard Gregori moving, getting a better shot of them. It was background noise that wouldn\u2019t distract him as he enjoyed the nearness of his wife. His wife. His mouth ticked upward. \u201cWhether you like it or not, Mrs. Rodriguez, for the next ninety days, you\u2019re mine.\u201d OceanofPDF.com Dear Reader, Every boy band has a \u201cbad boy,\u201d and Paul Rodriguez has proudly accepted that label over the years.<\/p>\n

When his reputation jeopardizes his position as host of First Comes Marriage, a reality TV show that marries strangers, he knows he\u2019ll do anything to save his job. The show\u2019s director decides to film their next season in Holiday Bay, the town where his career started. Paul is shocked to discover that one of the contestants is none other than Kyleigh Sinclair, his former high school girlfriend.<\/p>\n

He decides to marry her himself, knowing that the predicted record ratings will secure his role. But as the two spend time together, Paul realizes that he\u2019s ready to retire his bad-boy ways so he can win back the woman he never forgot. Now he has ninety days to convince Kyleigh that, this time, he\u2019s not going to let her go. Paul is one of my favorite characters. On the surface, he seems like a one-dimensional figure who only cares about fame and everything that comes with it.<\/p>\n

But once you realize what truly drives him, I think that most people can relate to him in some way. His story is about survival\u2014that no matter what life throws at you, you find a way to keep going and push through. I hope you love Paul and Kyleigh as much as I do.
