Guilty Pleasure

by Cherrell L. Bates

Quinton Alexander and Desiree Harris have been friends since they were kids. Growing up together, they both were careful not to cross the line that could destroy their friendship. Once Quinton moves in, staying within the boundaries becomes the hardest thing that either of them have to do. Desiree doesn't want to fall for the popular ladies' man, but is quickly pulled into his trap of sweet words and passionate kisses. Quinton fell hard for Desiree while in college, but had managed to keep his feelings for her to himself all these years. Years later, his attraction and temptation gets the best of him as he realizes how explosive the chemistry is between them. As the passion between them becomes almost addictive, Desiree begins to haunt him in a way no woman ever has before.

Will the pleasure between them be worth the heartbreak? The turmoil? Will they be able to walk away in time to save their friendship? Or will they fall victim to the fire that has ignited between them?
