Book excerpt: PREVIEW “I don’t mean to be harsh Kammille, but you mean to tell me that after four years of being in a relationship with you – and a year of being engaged to you -- that he wasn’t sure that’s what he wanted. I mean, y’all were living together already. It’s not like he was in for a big surprise. But he backed out, which says to me that he had no clue as to what he wanted from your relationship. And when a man doesn’t know what he wants, he’s likely to do all types of stupid crap -- like lose control over his finances and lose control over his sperm. This makes him non-marriage material in my book. I don’t care how fine he is, how much money he makes, or how nice he is.” “Well Omar didn’t have any children. And his credit was just a little banged up. It’s nothing that couldn’t have been fixed. People bounce back from bad credit all the time Liza.” “But few of them bounce back from indecisiveness – especially at his age. Not to beat a dead horse, but if he was in his twenties with ‘banged-up credit,’ as you put it, I could maybe see it Kammille. But Omar was 34 – long past when he should have had his shit together. And his pride should have made him not allow you be the sole signor on that mortgage. Good thing you didn’t need him to pay the bills. You’d be stuck with a big ole mortgage all by yourself. Now you’re just stuck by yourself. But that won’t last. One thing he did get right is that you’re an awesome catch!” Kammille didn't realize how prophetic her business partner's words would be when she planned her getaway to South Beach, Miami. It's exactly the break she'd needed after her engagement was called off a year ago. ### Landon’s eyes followed every delectable sway of her picture-perfect backside as she walked in front of him. Tonight was turning out to be a helluva lot better than his day. Kammille could feel his eyes on her. They were like an ass-laser, trained to hone in on exactly one spot – her backside. She felt heated, from the swell of her butt to the intimate crease between her thighs. She hadn't decided whether she was flattered or pissed off about where his impossibly gorgeous eyes were focused. “As this is our second meeting, I suppose the first thing we should do is get introductions out of the way. I’m Landon; Landon Shaw,” he said, extending a large hand across the table for her to shake. Nice to meet you, Mr. Shaw. I’m Kammille Howard,” she said, taking his hand, which swallowed hers. She liked the feeling. It made her feel feminine and protected. It’s all part of the game extremely handsome men like him played with women, she reminded herself; you'd do well not to forget it. ### “I’m not the kind of person who dwells on what could have been. I focus on what is. And right now before me is a beautiful woman ... one I’m going to kiss,” he forewarned, his strong, warm hand cupping her right jawline. “Resist me if you must,” he said, those penetrating grey eyes disturbingly close to hers, “but I could never live with myself if I didn’t at least try.” Before she could even begin to formulate how to control her ragged breathing, or still the blood coursing throughout her body, his exceedingly soft lips commandeered hers. It truly was like a proverbial match to a flame. It had been over a year since she had been kissed. And it felt so good. And he was so good at it. Kammille wrapped her arms around his waist, feeling the hardness of his cord-like strength as he pulled her to him, deepening the kiss. The force of what was building within her was crippling … crippling her ability to think, to form a cohesive thought, to resist … even a little. Shards of desire, passion, longing, loving and sheer lust made her forget all of her resolve about ‘men like him’, saving her intimate self for marriage, and her fears of getting hurt. The only thing she felt in his arms was raw, naked need.

A new love waiting to be explored. An old flame longing to be rekindled. Could there possibly be Love after Betrayal? *** How do you flush twelve years of marriage down the drain? Can you flush twelve years of marriage down the drain? When Gunner, Bria's husband of a dozen years, tells her that he's fathered a child outside of their marriage, her whole life plan is turned upside down. While she freely admits that she's been married to her career, she thought they were on the same page: she'd make partner at her corporate law firm, his construction firm would thrive, and then they'd start a family. They'd be financially secure – creating a life without the money worries they both grew up with. That's why Bria couldn't process what Gunner was telling her. *** "I'm sorry, but I had to tell you. I'm sorry, Bria. You have to believe me," Gunner pleaded. "I want to work through this. I'm hoping that in time you can forgive me. I love you. You're the only woman I've ever loved. You know this." He looked sincere. He sounded sincere. She knew this man. She loved this man. But … "Work through this?" Bria laughed humorlessly, drowning out the voices in her head and the love in her heart. "Let me get this straight. You‘re telling me that you've been cheating on me; that you have a one-month old baby with whoever the slut is, and you want me," she said, putting her index finger to her chest, "to somehow find it in me to work things out with you? Have you lost your ever-loving mind?!" she exploded. *** It couldn't be true. It just couldn't. But it was. And she had to accept it. But when Bria suddenly finds herself pregnant, will she and her ex-husband find their way back to each other? Or, will she find lasting love with a new flame?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PROLOGUE Kristen Bedford survived the suicide of her father, the death of her husband, and several attempts on her own life. But, could she survive falling for the rakish Roman DuValiere? *** After the death of her husband, Kristen craves the peace of her hometown, Blood Gully, Louisiana. But peace was the last thing she found. Meeting her as Kristen Bedford, Roman DuValiere is unaware that the honey-colored beauty is the wife of his family's long-time nemesis, Duncan Steele, and the stepmother of the man he suspects of killing his wife, Daisy, a decade ago. Discovering who she really was gave Roman every reason to do everything in his power to destroy her. But her striking resemblance to his dead wife stirs emotions he can't resist, especially when she finds herself in danger from the very man who may have gotten away with murdering Daisy. Unbeknownst to her, Kristen's inheritance from her late husband landed her smack dab in the middle of a politically charged fight between the DuValieres and the Steeles, two of the most powerful families in the oil-rich parish of Blood Gully. She was practically the sole heir to the Steele fortune, which gave her a deciding hand in the proposed pipeline coming to the bayou – a pipeline Roman had vowed to die to stop if he had to. With millions at stake and danger slithering around every corner, Kristen has no choice but to turn to the one known as 'The Emperor' for protection: Roman DuValiere, one of the infamous brothers of Blood Gully. Kristen dared not trust him, but did she really have a choice? Could she afford to trust him with her life without risking her heart?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREVIEW Ditched by a fiance. Betrayed by a friend. A desire for revenge. One life-changing weekend. *** He’d broken her heart once. Would she give him a chance to break it again? “What do you want Aaron?” Farrah asked. “Why are you really here?” “What if I said I made a mistake letting you go?” “Wh—what do you mean?” Farrah stammered, not believing her ears. He did not just say that? Did he? Her heart rate picked up speed. “What if I said I realize what a big mistake it was to let you go?” her ex-fiance, who was scheduled to be married in two days, said. Aaron walked over to the bed and sat beside Farrah. He took one of her hands in his. “This doesn’t make any sense,” Farrah said, almost to herself. His declaration totally threw her off balance. It was the last thing she expected. The very last. She looked at her hand in his. His touch. She’d dreamed about this for months. And her dream was miraculously coming true, but … Was her stand-in lover determined to become a more permanent fixture? The Irishman Their mating had been vicious, savage, barbaric … and beautiful. And Farrah wanted more of him. So much more. She hadn’t been consumed by this kind of desire since – since forever. Even Aaron, the man she’d loved for almost a decade, had never come close to making her do some of the things she’d done last night with this perfect stranger. He was wickedly beautiful. Sinfully sexy. Rakishly seductive. Soulfully encompassing. And all of this made him the perfect stand-in lover; the perfect man to show up with to her ex-fiance’s wedding. Aaron would be able to smell another man’s scent on her. She knew he would because the kind of mind-blowing coupling she’d experienced last night didn’t stay confined to the bedroom. It seeped out of your pores and brought a stupid grin to your face for the world to see, smell, crave, and wonder about. *** Her living room wall served as a bed. He pushed her up against it, lifted her off her feet and slammed himself home one last time – all without breaking the kiss that had ignited it all. Farrah release was so hard that her legs, which were wrapped tightly around his waist, fell limp against him. Finn grabbed a fistful of her hair and pulled her head to the side. He whispered in her ear, “He was a fool to let you go.” He zipped his jeans, planted a hard kiss on her lips and left her standing there, practically naked as he closed the door softly behind him. Farrah dropped to her knees and sobbed. The handsome Irishman left her body satiated, and her soul ripped to shreds. *** How could a perfect stranger recognize her value, and Aaron, the man she’d given everything to for years, discard her without even so much as a goodbye? God she hated him. And he would pay. Or, was the all-knowing Irishman right when he said she wanted her ex back? “There’s a thin line between love and hate, Farrah Jane,” he said, moving his hand up to encircle her waist. It didn’t help that he was helping her blur that line so wickedly.

This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You will accept my proposal, Daria. You will become my wife.” “And what makes you so sure about your proposition?” I said. God I wanted to knock that smug smile off his addictively handsome face. “Because you have no choice. So why fight it? Besides, it’s only a year. What have you got to lose?” Everything! I wanted to scream. My hopes. My dreams. Genuine affection. Real love. I’d be giving up all of that if I agreed to become his wife — even if it was only for one year. What would be left of me after? I had dreamed of being Glory Falkner’s wife a thousand times since I first met him at ten years old. But never once had my fantasy played out like this. And that’s because it is fantasy, a tiny voice whispered in my head. I turned around to face him. “We all have choices Glory.” “In theory, yes. In reality, no. In your world, you may not have realized that fundamental truth. But you live in my world now.” “And what world is that?” I asked, my arms folded across my chest. “The real world,” he said, reaching over and tucking a tendril of hair behind my ear. “In the real world dearest Daria, only those with power have choices.” I could feel the thumping of my pulse on the side of my neck where his hand had come to rest. He was so sure. So confident. And no wonder; tears stung the back of my eyes as I realized the truth of what he said. I don’t think I’ve ever hated another human being as much as I hated him at that moment. *** “Alright Glory, you have yourself a wife. But if you ever lay a finger on me, you will regret it. That I can promise you,” I finished, my eyes never leaving his. His thumb caressed the side of my neck, the pulsing of my vein mocking my words. “I like my women ready, willing and able Daria. I don’t see you qualifying on any of those fronts. So don’t worry darling, your virtue is safe with me.” *** I watched Glory’s broad, ram-rod straight figure disappear through the large glass door. I’d managed to save my beloved art gallery from bankruptcy, but at what cost? Would my heart pay the price for something much more valuable?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of her frequent thoughts of her former lover, Xavier, for the most part Lenae thought her reconciliation with her husband, John, was going pretty well – even though he had withdrawn from the physical side of their relationship when she told him about her affair. They had been back in the same house and in the same bed for about a month and a half, but had only made love once. It bothered her, because it made her feel undesired, which is why she thought of Xavier so often. Unlike her husband who’d rebuffed her at every turn, Xavier had made no secret of not only his physical attraction for her ... but he desired her emotionally as well. He’d once said, “There’s more going on here than just sex Lenae. I recognize it, and I know you do too.” Against her will, she relived the memory, crossing her legs to ward off the ache between them that had been left so empty for far too long. *** "I assure you, you are pregnant. You’re about 7 weeks along," the doctor explained patiently. The rest of the doctor’s words rushed over Lenae in a jumbled murmur of background noise – as if the she was taking in slow motion and Lenae was an outside observer. Seven weeks along, the phrase reverberated in her head. "That meant ..." She couldn’t bring herself to fully form the thought. Dear God, just when her marriage was getting back on track, she might be pregnant with another man’s child. Would her husband ever forgive her for this, or would it mean the end of her marriage? And what of Xavier? How was he going to react if he was the father? Lenae covered her face in her hands. ... How could this happen? How could she let this happen ... and what did it mean for her future, and with which man? ### adult romance, steamy romance, interracial romance, bwwm romance, erotic interracial romance, african american romance, erotic romance, short story romance, steamy romance
