One minute, I was making coffee in the office, and the next I’m dying in the back seat of my car while my boss races to the hospital. There I lay, in cubicle three, praying that it’s just severe cramps and I’m not passing out a whale, when he walks in. All six-foot-four, broad-shouldered deliciousness in a lab coat. My gynecologist. He doesn’t date patients and I don’t get with men who’ve seen me naked before the first date. But resisting our sizzling attraction is more than I can handle. By the time he leaves, I’ve decided. The doctor will just have to make an exception.

    A pawn that would be sacrificed for his family. He comes from crime and my father is committed to bringing justice. The family was part of his investigation and that boy from high school took my heart for himself. I never knew a love like that but it wasn’t real. He had ulterior motives and my heart was caught in his game. He played it and me so well. When he walks into my business with no apology and that cocky smile years later I’m stuck. It’s like I’m back in high school and every feeling goes through my body. I know he’s trouble, but not the common street thug kind. He’s a political powerhouse and he looks even better than he did last time I saw him. He has baggage and it could cost me more than I’m willing to give. Enforced Love is a steamy bwwm romance that is not appropriate for readers under 18.

    I knew what it meant, and was ready for what I’d be expected to do. But nothing could have prepared me for him. He is as powerful as the stallions locked in his stables. His heart is as distant as a falcon flying over the horizon, searching for prey. He lives in a palace and wears royal robes, but make no mistake. This man is not a desert prince, but a beast. That’s fine. I am not the innocent beauty I appear to be. I am a hunter. He owns the sand I walk on and the water I drink, but he will never own me. He may claim my body, but I will tame his heart.

    It’s even harder when the man you're involved with is a great catch, and people feel he should be sticking with his own kind.

Will these couples make it to the finish line when society frowns upon inter-racial dating?

     From the second he laid eyes on the extra guest that arrived with his childhood friend, Maripose, Javier knew he was in trouble. Not only was the Jamaican woman breathtaking, she was nosy as hell, and in search of a story that would give her the raise and corner office she had been promised.

I wanted to see if I had a chance in getting between your chocolate thighs," he admitted, smoothly. She tilted her head.

You might fight, but I will win. I’m gonna give you what your ex never could," Javi promised. They were FATED to LOVE!
