It’s the ultimate passionate getaway
Desperate to flee the breaking scandal swirling around her ex, event coordinator Claudia Jefferies flies to exotic Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. As if being pampered at an exclusive spa weren’t enough, now a drop-dead-gorgeous man is showering her with attention! But Claudia’s too smart to get seriously involved, especially with a heartbreaker like Santiago Medina. If only her heart would listen to her head....
From the moment Santiago spots Claudia, he knows it’s more than lust at first sight. And this man is used to getting what he wants. He’ll wine and dine the stunning, soft-spoken Southerner with tropical nights of passion she’ll never forget. But once Claudia finds out who Santiago really is, can he turn a fleeting island idyll into a passionate escape to love?
“A woman of your intelligence and beauty should not only be appreciated for her aesthetic qualities, but for the depth of her mind, as well.”
Sighing inwardly, she fought against the smile tickling the corners of her lips.
Santiago was more eloquent than an eighteenth-century poet, and his words were filled with such tender warmth that they resonated in her soul. It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to her, and to her surprise, she believed every word. “I don’t know what to say.”
“Then don’t say anything.” His eyes smiled, swept over her like the gentle breeze ruffling the curtains. “Call me whenever you need to talk or vent about how unfair life is. I’ve been there, and I know how important it is to have someone in your corner.”
Sparks flew when he clasped her hand.
“Thank you, Santiago. I just might take you up on that offer.”
“I hope you do….”
His mouth was less than an inch away—poised, ready, waiting.
Their lips crushed together. Moved hungrily over each other with the same urgency as their roving hands.
The kiss was ferocious.
Explosive.
So devastating she’d need weeks to recover from it.

Dear Reader,
Ever wish you could get away from it all? Your job, your family, the world spinning out of control around you? That’s exactly how Claudia Jeffries feels! When her ex-husband is arrested on eight counts of corporate fraud the same day their divorce is finalized, the media spotlight blares brightly on her. A confrontation with an enraged investor leaves Claudia shaken and scared and desperate to clear her name. Overwhelmed by all of the unwanted attention, Claudia decides to leave town until the story dies down. Goodbye, Richmond; Hello, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico! “Leave everything behind” is the slogan of the Sea of Cortez Resort, and when Claudia arrives at her secluded condo nestled among lush palm trees and tropical flowers, she feels the stress of the past month begin to melt away.
Santiago Medina can’t stop staring at the radiant, toffee-skinned beauty standing in the lobby of his family’s resort. He’s never been this drawn to anyone and, when he discovers it’s the same woman who shot him down in the luxury airport lounge hours earlier, he sets out to show the Southern beauty there’s more to him than meets the eye. Luckily for Claudia, Santiago doesn’t scare easily or believe in giving up without a fight....

I can hardly believe that this is my tenth Kimani Romance novel.
It seems like just yesterday I sat down at the computer and started typing out the sexy love story running through my mind.
I feel so blessed, and fortunate to have such a wonderful, supportive family. You guys are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I adore every one of you. I love you Yaye’s and Odidison’s!!!
Sha-Shana (of Sha-Shana Crichton & Associates) I still remember the day you called and offered to represent me. I was big, and pregnant, but I jumped like ten feet in the air! Ha,ha I hope our future is filled with more contracts, proposals and a trip somewhere warm and tropical with men who look and smell like Santiago Medina!
