to go down without a fight.
The

cliffhangers, and plenty of heat. What are you waiting for? BUY this
book.
***EXCERPT***
"Stop
staring at the man and say something?"
Imani found working with Adrianna at the bar was worse
than working at the studio. At least at the studio she could pull
rank and kick her out the office.
"What man?" She let out a long audible breath.
"The man that has you spilling drinks and stepping
on my toes."
“Ouch!” She stomped on Imani’s foot and wiggled
out of reach.
Imani had been preoccupied with trying to see the
features of his face. The booth he selected was tucked away off to
the side. The overhead lights barely illuminated the table top. It
was the table repeat customers chose when they wanted to partake of
the live music and robust menu and have privacy.
It was public yet private. So private they'd witnessed
more than one heated exchange going on in that booth over the length
of her employment. It wasn't called the make-out booth for nothing.
Imani stole glances at him for most of the afternoon.
She could see the top of his arm covered in a white dress shirt and
the swirled tattoo on his forearm. That must be his girlfriend. She
reasoned as the olive-skinned brunette took her seat across from him.
"You think that's his girlfriend?" Imani
whispered. Adrianna topped off the customer's soft drink and walked
over to stand beside her.
"If she's not, she wanna be." She dried her
hands on her apron.
Imani faced her, "What makes you say that?"
"That man is a sexual magnet, paid with a Titanium
Card, and his eyes," she shook her head and raised her hand in
the truth, "panty droppers."
"For real?" Imani hissed. The forced air
behind panty made curiosity dance through her veins.
"For. Real." She glanced over at the table as
if validating her statement. Her face twisting in agony and she
nodded.
Imani glanced back over there. The last thing she needed
was to stare into his panty-dropper eyes. She wanted to ask Adrianna
more but a warning voice in her head warned her to leave it alone.
There was no room in her life for men. Life was hectic
enough without adding sexy, magnetic, panty-dropping men to the
equation and her panties needed to stay in place. The last man she'd
given her heart passed her up for a bigger fish and left her without
so much as a blink of an eye. Her time was better spent trying to
find another job.
"Have you heard from your landlord?"
"I got a letter about a new owner. But they didn't
mention the balance and I didn't either. I sent what I could, hoping
it will hold me over."
$1250 a month times six months left her owing the new
landlord at least $7,500. It might as well have been a cool million
because she didn't have a hundred dollars to her name. She hated
owing people.
She was ashamed to admit what she sent barely covered
the late fees but she still had to pay the utilities at the studio on
top of her own household expenses.
"How long you think that's going to last? You can't
keep doing this to yourself. This dance studio is like a leech
draining you dry."
“Why would you say that? What’s wrong with giving my
students culture?” Imani stiffened at her harsh analogy.
"Ain't nobody got time for that!" She turned
to Imani tossing a towel in the sink. "Culture won't feed you
and pay your bills."
Tears stung her eyes. But she didn't have time to cry or
feel sorry for herself. She needed a plan.
"Is he cute?" It was better to talk about the
panty dropper than her landlord.
It was Adrianna's turn to shrug, "He's alright for
a white boy. You know I like my papi chulo
sun kissed, bilingual, and Spanish in his blood. Can't have my momma
passing out on me."
"Indeed, your mom would pass out if you brought
anything but a Hispanic man home." Imani laughed.
"That's why I keep my business my
business." She tossed her blonde hair
and headed to the other end of the bar to check on a customer.
Adrianna talked a good game but she had a man. Her
traditional ways went to her core from cooking authentic Mexican food
to Salsa dancing every Thursday night. Imani looked back at his
exposed skin, it didn't look white but not brown either. More like a
warm beige. His head turned in her direction and she felt trapped.
Unable to look away, but unable to see his face either.
The young lady returned to the table and Imani spun
around, facing the mirrored wall behind the bar. She glanced up into
the reflection and watched him lean forward. The light caught his
profile with his thick wavy dark brown hair. He smiled up at his
companion.
Imani's stomach clinched. He had a deep dimple.
She watched the young lady leave the table carrying her
purse and shoulder bag. They must be done for the afternoon. She
wanted to see this mystery man for herself.
