Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

All of Jameson's efforts proved futile as he found himself back at the same starting line as Jasper. He couldn't accept that outcome. He needed Alyssa. He had to marry her!

"Yes, Mr. Jameson. Love can't be forced," Lyla said.

Lyla then walked elegantly to Winston's side and caressed his waist. Her tone was gentle and nonthreatening, yet each word felt like a stranglehold on Jameson's throat. "I'm sure Winston didn't mean it. We know you are serious about Lyse.

"But, it takes two hands to clap for love to last. As Lyse's family, we are thorough with everything we do because we want Lyse to be happy. If she eventually marries someone she didn't love, we would be kissing her happiness in this lifetime goodbye."

Jonah was silent. His lips curled into a mocking smile as he stared contemptuously into Jameson's eyes.

Lyla usually appeared gentle and harmless. However, she was an intelligent person.

Her intelligence lay in how well she knew Winston. She didn't mention Jasper the entire time and played the emotion card. Winston, a man who stood for love to be free, understood his daughter's situation.

Jameson's face turned stiff and pale. A dark glint lingered in his eyes. He could barely hold his chivalrous and elegant demeanor any longer.
