Security firm owner Joi Lewis needs to secure a well-paying contract for her business, and she’s in the running for one with an international bank. She’s determined to do whatever it takes to keep her firm on solid ground. Her proposal prepared to perfection, she heads to the meeting…only to have her past come back to bite, with very sharp teeth. Sitting across the desk from her, poised to decide the fate of her business, is the best friend of the man she abandoned at the altar!
Marco Alvarez has worked hard to earn his executive position with Royal Bank. He loves his job, though it doesn’t leave as much time as he’d like to pursue his passion as saxophonist of the Queen City Gents. He isn’t about to jeopardize his career over security concerns, so he put the word out about his requirements. He never expected the most well-crafted response to come from the gorgeous woman who broke his best friend’s heart. If she can’t be true to her word, how can he trust her with securing his bank branch?
Both of them have changed since they saw each other last, but have those changes been for better, or worse? Can the saxophone savant and the gorgeous guard work together for their mutual benefit, and find in each other a love supreme?

I've always loved the written word. For as long as I can remember, I read as much as I could, as often as I could. Cereal boxes, newspapers, product packaging. Ebony, Essence, and Jet Magazine. Billboards. I loved it all. I read the entire Fear Street series, as well as the Sweet Valley Books, from Twins and Friends through Sweet Valley High. Each week I'd bring 15 or 20 books home from the library, and read them all before the due date.
Now, my mother owned a pristine, barely touched collection of Harlequin romance novels, and I was not to touch them under any circumstances. Well, as a teenager, you know what that meant. I read some of them, and got my first introduction to romance.
When I was sixteen, I picked up my stepmother's copy of Night Song, by Beverly Jenkins. The cover showed an obviously historical image of a black couple, against a beautiful backdrop, locked in a passionate embrace. With my love of history, I had to crack this book. What I read inside literally blew my mind. I was exposed to a wonderful, touching love story involving people who looked like me! What a thrill. To this day Night Song remains my favorite book, and I credit it with planting the seed of desire to write romance. I didn't get serious until many years later, but that's where it all began.
Yes, this was an amazing book and Joi was amazing woman, she went and took some courses and learned taekwondo her then open up her own security company. She was also a runway bride of Ernesto who want to marriage her just for his inheritance.
