Book Description:
Atlanta plastic surgeon Charles Stafford is giving up his
successful practice to volunteer his services in Nigeria with a medical
organization. Even though he’s excited about this major career move, he has no
idea how much his life is about to change.
Nurse Adanna Okoro is one of the six medical professionals
working at a small village hospital thirty minutes outside of Lagos, Nigeria.
She loves her job and is devoted to the people she serves. When the hospital is
notified that it has been chosen to host a team of foreign doctors, Adanna
meets the man she has always dreamed of.
EXCERPT
Just as Charles got ready to respond,
the front door opened and Quianna’s overgrown bodyguard ducked his head and
lumbered through with her a few paces behind him. She wasn’t dressed to work out.
In fact, she looked as though she was on her way to a club in a black mini
dress that just barely covered her high, tight booty. She’d accessorized it
with big silver earrings and a pair of thigh-high snakeskin boots cuffed at the
top. Whatever he’d been getting ready to say to Marc flew right out of his
head.
“Hello, Charles.” Her slight Caribbean
accent made everything she said sound sexy. “I’m on my way to an event, but I
thought I would take my chances and see if you were here.”
He stood and approached her. “I just
got here about an hour ago. It’s good to see you, Quianna. You look…lovely.”
She gave a throaty giggle and tossed
back the new long hair that cascaded over her thin shoulders. “Thank you. I was
hoping you could accompany me tonight, since I don’t have an escort.”
Marc and Lance exchanged a glance and
waited for his reply. “I’m sorry, Quianna. I have a meeting tonight. How about
tomorrow night? Will you be in town?”
“Tomorrow night…” The singer, known
worldwide for her theatrical sexiness, pursed her lips as though she had to
give it some thought. “I was invited to another affair tomorrow, but you might
enjoy it. I’ll pick you up at ten.”
Charles saw Marc smirk at her
assertiveness. “What kind of affair is it?”
She smiled. “Just a party.” When she
turned and walked toward the door, her protector rushed to precede her so he
could check the parking lot. “Dress casual,” she said over her shoulder once
she’d stepped outside.
The instant the door closed, Marc and
Lance burst out laughing. “It’s just a pah-tee. Dress kah-shu-wal,” Marc
imitated her. “That accent gets stronger when she’s flirting.”
“Okay, back off.”
“I’m just saying, man. If you want to
be this week’s chew toy, it’s none of my business. Just remember what I told
you,” Marc said, referring to his earlier protection warning.
Charles fixed his gaze on his brother
and spoke in a clipped tone. “And remember what I told you.”
Marc shook his head. “Okay. We’re
straight. I won’t mention it again.”
When Charles got back to the house, he
shut the door to the guest room, now his bedroom, and rummaged through his
still-packed suitcases for a pair of pajama bottoms. Suddenly realizing how
tired he was from his full day, he decided to shower in the morning. After he
removed his clothes and pulled back the covers on the bed, he slid under the
sheet and blanket with his mind on his upcoming date with Quianna. Men all over
the world would kill for an evening with the hip-hop princess, and she had
extended the invitation to him. But after Marc’s warning, his outlook about her
wasn’t the same. He had no reason to believe that evening would include sex,
but the way she’d looked at him as though he were something to be devoured,
gave him the feeling that was all Quianna was after. Whatever the evening
brought at least he could say he’d been out with her.

Thanks so much for sharing my new release with your readers, Rachelle!
ReplyDeleteThis looks to be a super hot book. :)
DeleteSounds like Charles is up for a good time. I hope he doesn't get more than he bargains for. I like the term; 'chew boy'. Definitely an excerpt full of promise.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, Chicki.
