No Vacation Plans (Love Plans #9)

Book Description
Denise Lambert fell in love at first sight with Damien Booker, a biracial law student. They danced the night away, and she welcomed his passionate kiss. But then he disappeared.
Five years later, she can’t believe her eyes when the pizza delivery boy sporting a long frizzy mane and a bushy beard is none other than Damien. He kisses her and runs away. She manages to get his phone number and reconnect with him. For weeks, they chat on the phone, until she bumps into Zorro, the exotic male dancer, at her friend’s bachelorette party—Damien again who kisses her senseless. But Denise is fed up with the jack of all trades, working long hours at three low-paying jobs. She’ll have to break it off with him unless…
Determined to be worthy of her love, Damian set aside his resentment against discriminating lawyers. Clean cut and well-groomed, he applies to various firms, until he garners several interviews and finally lands the right position in the right firm. Will his effort pay off? Or will he have to fight her friends and relatives to bring Denise into his arms?

Twenty-years ago
To celebrate the ninety-fifth birthday of George Winston, the family patriarch, his sons Carl and Ludwig threw a big party and invited their own children and grandchildren. Old George, still alert and as acerbic and facetious as he’d been in his youth, responded to the birthday wishes with a speech to his offspring and made them play a game. He displayed a card with the word PLANS.
“I want you, kids, to have a goal and succeed in life. For that purpose, you need to have plans. Pull a card and show us what your plans are to reach your dream.”
To start the game, his oldest grandson, Dr. Steve Winston, pulled a card from the box held by the old man.
“I have SAILING on my card,” Steve declared.
“SAILING PLANS for you, Steve. Will you be able to execute this plan?”
“Maybe. It’d be a nice dream to sail far away.”
The great-grandchildren followed suit, pulling a card from the box.
“Show us your cards, kids.”
The children waved their cards. The parents read and laughed.
“Here are the results,” George announced. “DATING PLANS for Matt Winston and KISSING PLANS for his little brother Royce. RESCUE PLANS for Rafael Lopez and HEALING PLANS for Jason Randal. BABY PLANS for Audrey Kent, WEDDING PLANS for her brother Tyler, and FAMILY PLANS for her brother Tim. NO VACATION PLANS for toddler Denise Lambert and LAST-CHANCE PLANS for her baby brother Rick, etc...”
“These are fun plans, Poppop,” ten-year-old Matt commented.
“I will not be around, but I'll be watching you from up there.” The old man lifted a finger to the sky. “I hope you can carry out your plans and fulfill your dreams.”

And so each of the great-grandchildren had a story to tell.
