Scene: Tragic circumstances make Erika’s predicament crystal clear to Booker.

Excerpt:
"Neither family is prepared to raise the baby. But, I am."
"Are you sure about this?"
She felt her smile drizzle away. "I don't know why, but I thought you'd be happy for me."
"Of course I'm happy for you." Booker held her by the shoulders. "It's just…that's a huge responsibility to take on…alone."
"People do it all the time, Booker."
"They do."
"Then, why the forlorn look?"
"You don't have to do it alone. You've got a friend."
"Carole King," she blurted.
"Erika, I'm not playing."
"Are you saying, friend, that you have my back?"
"That's a good way to put it."
"Midnight craving runs?" Erika teased.
"I'm up to it."
"Hormonal outbursts?"
"Don't scare me."
Laughing, she massaged the place over his heart. "Booker, you're so sweet."
"Actually, I'm being selfish. I want you to get to know me better."
"That's going to extreme lengths for friendship."
"Erika," Booker dragged in a ragged breath. "I'm Vince's—"

What’s on Booker’s mind? Will he confess?

Burned out and homeless, ZeLisa reluctantly accepts the Creole firefighter’s hospitality.

Burned before—by her, Hank aims to keep hot spots to a minimum.

Can he?

Price: $3.99 eBook/$0.00 Kindle Unlimited
Print: $12.99

...Walking swiftly, she rounded the corner to see the partial devastation of her complex. Her steps slowed. The burned-out shell on one end contrasted the waterlogged end before her.

In front, a lone fire engine hummed on the parking lot. Its occupants appeared to do a sweep to ensure flare-ups remained contained. ZeLisa darted forward. Yellow tape roped the whole building, keeping her barred from entering her condo. A surreptitious look and she fondled the tape, prepared to raise it up.

“I wouldn’t do that, if I were you.”

Bent to sneak beneath, she halted at the voice of caution at her rear.

ZeLisa pivoted to look at Hank. He had shed his outer jacket, and stood in front of her in his suspendered over-pants and boots. The storm in his eyes lessened. She felt a calming effect as he walked over. “This is a salvage expedition, Hank.”

“Do you see those people over there?” He pointed to the crowd surrounding the Red Cross van. “They have that same request, ZeLisa. But, due to safety concerns, the answer is the same. No entry is permitted.”

ZeLisa let the yellow ribbon drop. “Was anyone hurt?” Just saying the word “hurt” reminded her of the discomfort. Baited, she readjusted her broken arm.

“I’m happy to say no. No one was injured.” ZeLisa noted something different in the sound of his voice. A tinge of relief overshadowed the edgy clip it held earlier.

It was cold outside. But Hank’s expression made her swelter. Stammering, she confessed, “I-I’m glad you’re okay.”

He hooked his thumbs in his suspenders, his gaze intense. “What’re you going to do now?”

Blurb:
Now that Dr. ZeLisa Tobias has survived an IED attack and a stint of homelessness, nothing will prevent her from achieving her goals (her “Three B’s”). Then, the veterinarian makes a house call on Halloween night. Face to face with a man from her past, she must deal with his feelings of betrayal and, later, a series of rash misfortune that threatens her newfound stability.

Firefighter Hank Streeter knows his call to the animal hospital is a mistake the instant he answers the door. The doctor has arrived. And—heartbreak is her name.

Will deception, doubt, and a run of bad luck curse their accidental reunion? Or will Hank convince ZeLisa that a marriage of convenience is love’s ultimate balm?

♥ The Skeptical Surrogate and Bayou Cowboy have another Goodreads 5 Stars Reader Rating!♥

Scene: Booker visits his son and Erika on Valentine’s Day.

Erika heard a symphony in her head the moment she opened her front door. Booker stood in the yellow porch light against a curtain of pouring rain. Even so, his smile was pure sunshine to her heart.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Erika." He closed his umbrella and stamped excess water from his boots.
"Happy Valentine's to you, Booker."
"May I?" Booker never failed to signal his intent.
"Louisiana's freaky weather is at it again." Erika moved backward. "The drive over had to be horrendous in this storm."
"But, worth every minute of it to see Brice…and his mommy."
"He's eager to see you, too." Smiling, she closed the door behind him.
Lightning flashed, brightening the sheers at the window. Thunderclaps vibrated in the air.
Booker walked through the living room. "Aren't you coming?"
"Naw." Erika returned to her workstation in the corner. "The draft for a new client is due tomorrow."
He rooted in the nursery's doorway. "How is business?"
"Going well. Thank you very much." She looked down the hall at him. "And yours?"
"I have a great incentive for the hard work and effort it takes to turn a profit." Booker pulled at his ear. "Making sure Brice has a solid legacy is of utmost importance."
"Brice will love his father with or without a legacy." Erika freed Booker to go to Brice when she resumed her work.
"It amazes me how fast he's grown," he called from the nursery.
"You know he's five months now."
Gurgles turned Erika in her seat. The look on Booker's face spellbound her. He always seemed in disbelief when he gazed on his son. With Brice riding backward on his forearm, Booker exemplified his expertise. Brice drooled on his fist.
"Mind company?"
"I don't mind at all."
Booker sat on the sofa. His arm locked Brice in place on his lap.
"Hey, mommy's baby." Erika’s maternal sensibilities controlled her. She glided across the room and got comfortable next to Booker. For a better view, she angled her body, and then bent her knee upon the cushion.
Brice clutched Booker's finger. The attraction was too much for Booker to resist. He yielded to temptation. Reverently, he placed his lips on the mold of Brice's head. Outside, the storm intensified, but Erika saw Booker enclose Brice in a cocoon of safety.

Jack and Marcy engage in a tender first kiss during an al fresco crab boil.

Excerpt:
He spent his playtime blubbering into Mya’s belly. She held onto his ears like handles, gurgling in joy.

Marcy rejoined them, walking near to seal a kiss on the top of Mya’s curly puff right under his nose. Her irresistible mouth entranced him. Her turn came next. He stole one from her—his lips firm, his move assertive.

“That can’t happen again,” she said, dissatisfaction absent from her remark. Her tongue tipped her top lip, seeming to relish the last dregs of his kiss.


Continue Marcy and Jack’s tender moments…
