McCallister “Mack” Aldin is riding high, with a bad marriage behind him and a cushy partnership in front of him. He has nowhere to go but up. At least that’s what Mack thinks until he runs smack dab into the woman of his dreams. Billie Awaini is a beautiful jazz singer who happens to be accused of the murder of her elderly husband. Torn between his high profile life and the most mysterious creature he’s ever laid eyes on, Mack must make a decision that could put everything on the line.

Excerpt:
In two quick steps, he closed the space between them. “You would have gone on with your life and ignored the possibility that the same person who killed your husband is after you.”
“Maybe, I guess. I don’t know why anyone would.”
“Why would anybody want to kill Benourd for that matter?” He rubbed his thumb across her cheek.
“I’ve been asking myself that same question. It could have been a robbery gone bad, a vagrant.” She shook her head in frustration. “But why do you care, Mack! This is my life, not a game, not a passing fancy. It’s my life.”
She pulled away from his touch. It wasn’t fair that she was about to let him off the hook just because he smelled rich and musky not to mention he was the sexiest man she had ever seen in a T-shirt, much less jeans. The taut stretch of the white tee against his muscles made her lose her train of thought, which allowed him to catch her unaware.
He whispered, “Billie,” before pushing her against the wall and stirring the expectation to taste the sweet smell of wine on his cherry lips. He took control of her mouth, which sent shivers down her spine. Like a pro, he quickly flicked open her bra that lay beneath the proper silk blouse.
“This is the part where I tell you that I want you,” he breathed heavily in her ear. “Just in case you weren’t sure.”
He greedily sucked her lower lip as he slipped her blouse slowly from her shoulder.
“It’s getting clearer by the minute, but there’s something I should tell you.” His thumb caressed her nipples and made them grow taut under his touch.
“Less talk.”
He laid her on the bed as he traced a path up her thigh with his finger. In an attempt to explain her position, she opened her mouth, but it was too late because he had already torn her panties in two.
