Charlotte: Mr. King was my fantasy. I didn't just think about him, I wrote naughty stories about the life we could have together if he took me in his arms. I carried that fantasy around with me until I left the town I grew up in. It was a part of my past, and while I reflected on my crush fondly, I gave up on it ever becoming more than a fantasy. Then a chance encounter changed everything. There was no way I was going to let my second chance slip away like it did the first time. He's hot-as-sin, absolutely delicious, and I'm not giving up... Mr. King: Charlotte was like all of the other girls. They gave me the look and while I didn't want to say no, I knew she was forbidden fruit. I had no idea how much she thought about me. I had no idea what kind of fantasy she created when her pen touched paper and those naughty thoughts came to life. Three years changed everything. I was divorced, a single father, and the last thing on my mind was a relationship. I remembered Charlotte when she blew back into my life. I remembered her reputation. I remembered how badly she needed to be disciplined. I might have been able to resist her then, but nothing will stand between me and her beautiful curves this time around. She will be mine. Kelli's Note: This book is for everyone who has wanted something they couldn't have. It's a delicious treat. Go ahead and indulge yourself. Fall in love with Mr. King. You owe it to yourself. It has enough steam to melt your panties and enough feels to melt your heart. I promise you won't be disappointed. <3
