Instead, she clasped it to her chest. “Are you here to stop me?”“Yes.”“Because you can’t live without me.”“Yes.”Her gaze fell. “Even if you’ll die...” * * * * * A BWWM Romance about a girl who spends her entire life thinking she is cursed, and the man who never expected to fall for her.

    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.

    

    He has a swag about him that's mysterious and dangerous at the same time. At first, I didn't understand why he had such a fear of losing control until he showed me his secret. 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.**

     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.

Even still, Javier couldn’t deny the passion he felt whenever Zekia was near. “I came in your room to talk and clean your sore, but don’t confuse my deeper motive. I wanted to see if I had a chance in getting between your chocolate thighs," he admitted, smoothly. She tilted her head. Just as she knew, Javier was a force she wasn’t used to tangling with. “Hm, revealing the coming attack,” she smirked. “There isn’t a damn thing you can do to stop it. You might fight, but I will win. I’m gonna give you what your ex never could," Javi promised. They were FATED to LOVE!
