No thanks. It only brought the worst kind of pain. I watched my father suffer the consequences of losing the love of his life when my mother died. And I wanted no parts of any of it. Therefore, I turned my heart off to it and kept it closed for well over a decade.Then one day, Jodi Walker entered my office. She was bold, beautiful, and ready to get in the face of anyone who got in her way. And I couldn’t stay away from her.Maybe it was the fierce, determined look in her hazel eyes or the abundance of graphic tees she wore that declared her mood at any given moment. Quite possibly, it could’ve been the perfect soft, plump lips of hers that kept my attention for minutes on end. Whatever it was, I decided to take on her case, though it wasn’t the type my private investigative firm usually took on.Sure, the mystery around her grandfather’s death was intriguing. But it was the dogged way in which Jodi refused to back down until she had answers, that convinced me to help her. Somehow my desire to help her turned into a burning need to protect her. The bastards that went after her grandfather came after her. The only problem was, they hadn’t figured out, they’d have to go through me first.

    Now, determined to restart her life, she relocates back to Atlanta. While there, she began making money buying and selling real estate...and then came Brayden.Trish was shocked to find the awkward boy she recalled from her youth had grown into the handsome, rich man with the Barry White voice. His eyes spoke a promise of fulfilling her every sexual desire but there was one problem. He was white, which was new to her. And, even if she decided to try something new, what she doesn't know is that Brayden has a secret that he doesn't want her to find out about.From the day Trish walked into the gym with her three children, Brayden had set his sights on making her his. All he had to do was wait for the right opportunity to put his plan into motion. With every meeting, every date, every touch, he found himself wanting Trish more and more, although she resisted. Will he be able to hold on to her and the love he's found after she finds out the truth about him? Will she walk away? Or will she love Brayden against all odds?'
