“Why do you do that?” Lena asked.

      “Do what?”

      “Every time you get real with me, let me see behind the smart-ass persona, you have to ruin it by being all annoying.”

      Matt shifted closer and ran a finger along her jawline. She jerked away. “Lena. Look at me.”

      She reluctantly turned to look. He was too close. Too everything. Those eyes. How could such icy blue be so hot?

      “This,” he said as he took her hand. “This feeling right here is why you put up with me.”

      He traced his fingers lightly across her palm. The sensation bypassed her brain, going straight to the very core of her.

      She started to say he was crazy. She started to tell him to get out. But his lips were on hers and her hands were in his hair and oh dear God the man could kiss. He pulled her even closer, deepening the kiss. She kissed him back, ignoring the alarms from some distant rational part of herself.

      Right now, she cared about nothing except for how good this felt.

Dear Reader,

      Welcome back to beautiful Charleston, SC! I was very excited to have the opportunity to tell Lena’s story. It was also fun to bring Lena and Sadie back together.

      For Lena, family is everything. Even when they are driving her crazy. She’s dedicated her life to lifting her family out of poverty, but now that the dream has been realized, she is left wondering, “What next?”

      “What” did not include the impossibly annoying and sexy artist Charles Beaumont Matthews the Fifth. Or Matt, as he prefers.

      For Matt, family is a touchy subject. A troubled youth led to estrangement and very hard feelings. While he is working to repair the damage, he struggles to accept that to fully live the life he wants, he may have to walk away from his family.

      Family, by blood or by choice, is a central theme in my writing. The contrast between Lena’s family, who had been poor in money but rich in love and support, and Matt’s wealthy family, to whom obedience to family tradition is more important than personal fulfillment, is rather stark.

      It is somewhere between those two extremes that Lena and Matt will find their HEA.

      I hope you enjoy their journey.
