Carter Banks
Hello, I’m no one special really. I have my own business; an investment broker. My best friend, Dex is the point guard for the Fort Worth Rebels. Being his friend has many advantages. Most of all I’m a private person. I learned to be that way from being hurt too many times. I’m looking for someone to love me for me. Not what I do or don’t have. Oh yeah, did I mention that I’m rich?

Kelli Godfrey believes in small town pride and holds onto the virtue that a person has but only one thing of value to give—trust. If you can’t be a person of your word, then you aren’t a person worthy of loyalty.
Carter Banks holds a tight rein on his personal life. Even the lawyers in his firm must sign a confidentiality clause before obtaining a position within his brokering firm. But when he finds the love of his life and loses her, how will he handle seeing her with another man? What will he do? He has two choices: fight for her like a Neanderthal, or let her go and be happy—and pray he doesn't die from the heartache.
Carter turned his head to hide the smile tugging at his lips. His gaze turned to the gate in time to see Dex walk through and join the party. Immediately, a passel of women rushed to his sides. Each one pushed on the other to be the first one to make him comfortable. With the grin of a tomcat, Dex set his sunglasses over his eyes and gave the women that fawned over him a small token of consideration. A small kiss to the lips.
He watched him cross the hot stone surface to the pool with the unofficial harem in tow. Watching his best friend with the women awed him. Hell, Dex’s confidence impressed him. Everywhere he went, women flocked to him like pigeons in the park waiting for a morsel of his attention, but Dex didn’t back away or flinch.
Carter shook his head in amazement. “How can Dex walk around and be comfortable with his celebrity status?”
“What do you mean?” Vance asked, a bit of intrigue in his voice.
“Women find him dazzling.”
“Don’t hate, Carter. There’s plenty to go around.”
I guess Dex is a nice-looking man…If one man’s opinion of another is appropriate. “Oh, I’m nowhere near that handsome like my other brother over there,” Carter confessed with ironic humor.
“What do you have to offer the women then if you don’t think you’re that handsome?”
Suddenly uncomfortable by Vance’s query, Carter eyed him and found that Vance didn’t look at him in adoration, just curiosity. “Nice biceps.”
Vance laughed. “Is that all?”
“Well, I am over six and a half feet tall. Lots of women like tall men.”
“So, you can say you have something positive. Carter, that is what confidence really is. Focus on something you like about yourself and use that to your advantage.”
Carter nodded. He thought about the advice. Focus on something positive and work with that. “I’m a casual person by nature. Formality doesn’t suit me at all. My casual dress style makes me more approachable than a business suit.”
“That was the key factor in the team’s choice to use you for our investment strategies. And you are one hell of a stockbroker.”
“Thank you. And work couldn’t be better.”
Carter’s effort and laid-back nature paid off. His investment business saw profits, leaving the bulk of his wealth, his parents’ money, in a trust fund. When he moved to
Texas, he made the conscious choice to leave that part of his personal history a secret—one he heavily guarded. He preferred people to like him for himself, not his money. He didn’t trust anyone enough or let anyone get close enough to know about his money. All the lawyers hired by his business conglomeration had to sign a confidentiality clause in their job contract.
These careful measures weren’t set into motion because Carter didn’t like his wealth, but he hated the influence money had over some people’s morals. People acted different the second they knew of its existence.
