An irresistible but forbidden temptation...
Betrayed by his fiancée, self-made billionaire Chance Castillo plans to sue his ex for her share of their million-dollar wedding. His unexpected attraction to his beautiful, brilliant new attorney sure takes his mind off his troubles. But Ngozi Johns has an ironclad rule: she never dates a client. Ngozi got where she is by following her own guidelines. Until one hot, steamy night with the gorgeous Dominican changes everything.

“Chance,” she whispered softly, her eyes dropping to his mouth as she licked her own. “Come on, help me out.”
He leaned toward her, feeling drawn into her as he inhaled the warm scent of her perfume. “Help you what?”
Her reaction made him weak. That attraction—an awareness—pulsed between them. It was hard to resist. Passion. Chemistry. Electricity.
“Fight this,” she implored, her eyes soft and filling with heat.
“Nah,” he drawled slowly as he lowered his head and pressed a soft kiss to the corner of her mouth.
“Chance,” she sighed, with just a hint of aching in her tone.
He shook his head as he smiled and then pressed his lips against hers.
The tip of her tongue darted out to lick at his bottom lip.
He groaned in hot pleasure, feeling his entire body jolt with an unseen surge of current. This energy created by a connection between them had been stoked for the last two weeks. Taunting and tempting them with a power that could not be ignored.
There was no woman he’d ever wanted so much in his life.
We return to Passion Grove for the next installment in the series, Tempting the Billionaire. This time, the relationship of Ngozi and Chance is the focus and I am so excited for you all to enjoy their love story. It’s funny that I’m the author and I was rooting for them even as I wrote the book because of their backstories. I hope you feel just as connected to them as I do.
I am truly enjoying this series. The wealth of the characters opens up so many possibilities for romance in exotic locales. The research on ultra-wealthy living was inspiring! Still, Passion Grove is the spot where they fall in love—what better place than a fictional small town centered around a heart-shaped lake with every street named after beautiful flowers?
Best,
Niobia
