Life Unscripted Krista Marie

Twelve years ago: Rita is a wide-eyed, 23-year-old when she moves to the bustling wonder of New York City for the opportunity of a lifetime-working for one of the biggest shows on TV. Her career is blossoming and she's practically engaged to Cade, the love of her life. Present Day: Single in the city, Rita has poured years into her career and now heads the writing room of "Gotham Nights", the most-anticipated upcoming drama. But it's the drama behind the scenes that causing the most trouble, starting with her newest co-worker-Cade. Yup, that Cade. A former FBI agent, Cade has spent the last 12 years running towards danger but nothing was quite as dangerous as his newest assignment-working with Rita.-----------------------------------------------------"So, what's on the agenda today, boss," Cade asked as he set aside his newspaper and stood up stretching, pulling his long-sleeved shirt taut across his broad, muscled chest. Look away, Rita reminded herself, he stomped on your heart."I have something for you," he continued cutting into her thoughts. "Iced coffee. Black, no sugar.""Uh, thanks," Rita answered, suspicious about the olive branch-technically the coffee cup-that he was extending. She walked around the safety of her desk and went to take it from him, realizing too late that her bag was on the floor."Oh!" she yelped as her foot got caught in the strap of the big backpack and she dove headfirst into Cade. Her hands flat against his chest; his free hand caught her waist. His voice, too close to her ear asked, "You ok?"She shifted and looked up into those piercing blue eyes, managing to have a steady voice. "I am thanks. You're quick," she mused."It comes in handy when you're trying not to get shot," he said with a wiry grin. She moved away from him after a minute, just enough time to inhale his familiar, woodsy cologne before biting back a sigh and the urge to pull him closer. "Let's get to work."
