What a Drake wants...he usually gets!
Billionaire businessman and heir to a sprawling Northern California dynasty, Terrell Drake wants to make a difference. Mentoring fatherless young boys at Paradise Cove’s new youth center fulfills that dream. However, passion of a different kind ignites when he meets Ashley Robinson. The stunning single mother’s manner reads strictly hands-off. But the heat sparkling in her big brown eyes tells Terrell something else.
Ashley learned about life the hard way. The up-from-the-streets anesthesiologist can’t afford to trust the charismatic playboy, who is already winning over her son. But the desire Terrell arouses is too powerful to ignore. Just as their casual fling flames into something deeper, the lovers are hit with a double whammy: sudden celebrity and a blast from the past that could jettison their future together. But the promise of forever is too precious to give up without a fight!
She placed an arm around his waist. “Yes?”
“Have you enjoyed the evening so far?”
“Are you kidding? This has been the most fun I’ve had in a long time.”
“It makes me happy to hear that.”
“I’m happy that you’re happy.”
He stopped and turned to her. “Then only one question remains.”
“What’s that?”
“Should our next destination be the airport, to take you home and kiss you good-night at the door, or my place here in San Francisco, away from prying eyes?”
She leaned into him. “Mr. Drake, I want you to take me wherever you can fulfill your promise of leaving me fully satisfied.”
They couldn’t reach the Drake place fast enough.
“Wow.” Aliyah stepped inside, immediately noticing the city view from their high perch in the hills. “This is beautiful.”
Terrell came up behind her, kissing her temple as he wrapped her in his arms. “So is this.”
She turned into him, desire in her eyes. The evidence of his desire was a little farther down.
“You know what I’ve been wanting to do all night?”
“Probably the same thing on my mind.”
We’ve all met him at least once in our life. That guy. The one who thinks he has it all, an assumption only made worse by the fact that...it’s true! He does! Success, swagger, fifty shades of sexy and any woman he wants. Such is the case with Terrell Drake, an unapologetic ladies’ man who’s always come out a winner in the dating game. Reminds me a lot of a guy I once dated. The one who was the one...well...until he wasn’t. Like Terrell, this guy was 6′2″ of mouthwatering hard candy with bedroom skills that could fill a college course curriculum.
However, unlike Terrell, he wasn’t quite ready for a smart, ambitious woman who appreciated all he had to offer. Though not to the detriment of reaching her goals. He let a good one get away.
Suffice it to say, Terrell Drake has a different ending in mind.
