Sapphire_ - 2015

Even then, I found myself being drawn to him like a moth to a flame. He didn't care about the jaded life style I was born into. I couldn't have asked for a better man. At least that's what I thought, until he disappeared with the woman I hated most, Nevaeh.How could Levi betray me? I had hopes of us becoming a happy family, but there's no way in hell, I could stay. Then again...maybe it's better this way. There's so much more to me than he realizes. If he knew all of my secrets, I'm sure he would second guess his decision to be with me, just like with all my other failed relationships before him. All of my time and energy needs to be spent on being there for my daughter, Luna.Levi:If Angie thinks that I'm going to sit by and let her get away from me, she's out of her damn mind. I've waited and prayed for someone like her to come into my life. Other women thought they could handle me and my past, but when I showed them, they all ran away. All of them, except, Angie. In fact, my true self excited her. Even after I got over the initial shock of her daughter, I accepted Luna because she is a part of Angie. Now, if she thinks I'm going to let the vengeful lies of one woman come between us, then I'll have to prove Angie wrong. She belongs to me! I'm willing to use any means to show her that; even if it means doing something that may have her questioning my loyalty, as long as I know that it's best for her in the end.
**Please Note: This book came about because of the constant demands from my readers to hear more about Angie and Levi. They both appeared first in Don't Tell My Husband 3, and then again in Consumed By Love. I would suggest reading those books to ensure you have all the necessary background to really appreciate their story.**
