*~*Love Note: Oliver to Gemma – Uncovered by Emily Snow*~*
My name is Lizzie Connelly, and I have it all. The gorgeous apartment. The new job most women would rip out their own souls for—working for Margaret Emerson at Emerson & Taylor. I have one of those lives you’ve always dreamt about, the kind you only see on HBO. But, the thing is, that life is a lie. A façade.
It all started with one call. “Everything you know about your story—your father’s story—is a lie. It’s up to you to uncover everything.” One call, and I turned my world upside down to dig my way into Margaret’s life—the woman who I’d never laid eyes on until recently. My stepmother who took everything after my father died fourteen years ago.
The plan was simple—figure out what role she played in my father’s death and expose her to the world.
But here’s another thing: simplicity doesn’t exist, and my plans are flawed from the beginning because I never anticipated Oliver. Sexy, too smart for his own goddamn good, and infuriating, he’s the one person who could blow my plans to uncover Margaret. She’s his mother, and in another life, that would have made him my stepbrother.
I want to pretend that none of that matters, that I can simply finish what I came to do without sparing him a second glance and another thought.
Like I said, though, there’s no such thing as simplicity.
My real name is Gemma Emerson.
And this is my story.
I love Oliver’s note to Gemma…it’s amazing…

Gemma,
I know you told me not to make a big deal over it, but since this is our first Valentine’s Day together, I want to make sure you know just how much I love you. You’ve been a permanent fixture in my thoughts, my fantasies, my future plans since that day in the parking garage—when I told you I fix what I break. The truth is, you have fixed me.
You’ve fixed the man who thought he held the world in the palm of his hand. You have given me something to wake up to every morning, someone to be true to, and something to come home to at night.
You have given me home, beautiful, and I love you for that.
Now…let me show you face to face. You and me, Heritage Ballroom, 9 p.m. Wear that dress, the slinky one you had on the night you first told me you were falling. I’m still there—fallen—and I don’t give a damn who all knows. I am yours, and you are mine, Gemma Emerson.
I love you, beautiful. Always.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
Oliver
