Recently jilted Josephine Davis wasn’t looking for love…. A
chance encounter along the sweltering highway with Atlanta’s own millionaire
bachelor changed all that. Devastatingly handsome and full of unexpected
talents, William Prescott Harrington, III shows beautiful Josie a life that she
could have only dreamed of; his excessive wealth and generosity eventually
threatening her very existence. Two star-crossed lovers from polar opposite
sides of Atlanta navigate their way through a maze of greed and jealousy
desperate for only one thing – each other.
Her heart made a wish. Will her
dream become reality or will the nightmare destroy them all?
“Thanks for letting me
stay for dinner with your friends. The food was amazing.” She watched his face
soften.
“Thank you for staying,”
he replied. He tucked her hair behind her ear and caressed her cheek.
Her insides tingled,
relishing his soft touch on her skin. “Are you making a pass at me Mr.
Harrington?” she asked, quietly.
He grinned and continued
to caress her cheek. “This is a prelude to a pass. You’ll know when it’s
happening.” He stood and offered her his hand. She took it and followed him to
the giant hammock where he let his body free-fall onto the colorful cushions.
“Join me?” He looked
boyishly cute as he made room for her.
She lay down beside him
and rested her head on his arm that was around her. They lay in silence, both
watching the ceiling fan turning lazily above them. He played with her hair
between two fingers.
She turned to him and they
were nose to nose. “This whole day was…unexpected.”
He nodded in agreement,
gazing into her eyes. “Yes, it was. One of the best days I’ve had in a long
time.”
She blushed, feeling her
heart accelerate. He leaned up on one arm as the hammock swayed gently back and
forth. He caressed her cheek again and lightly touched her lips with his
fingertips. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply.
“Please make a pass at
me,” she begged quietly.
She opened her eyes back
up to see him grinning at her with his gorgeous eyes. He nodded, and then he
leaned down and kissed her.
