He’s since left sports behind to became an Atlanta radio show host- one who is famously cynical about romance.

And for the first time, he’s off his guard.Idealistic Elle believes in love, even if she has yet to experience it. She and Ahmed clash and sizzle over the airwaves—and even more so when the station arranges a media-friendly Valentine’s date for them in response to the irrefutable excitement from his audience. Elle’s passionate response to Ahmed’s touch spurs powerful, mutual desire, until past hurt places him on the defensive. Putting his heart in play is the riskiest move Ahmed’s ever made, but it’s the only way to earn a shot at her love…

But from the moment gorgeous, upbeat Elle Marshall goes on air to promote her business of creating perfect dates for couples, it’s a whole new ball game.

“Here, let me.”

He took the keys from her and clicked open the car door, slid one of the pastry boxes into the passenger seat, and straightened back to his full and impressive height.

“Thank you for having coffee with me,” he said. “And for introducing me to something sweet I can sink my...teeth into.”

Despite her resolution not to let Ahmed rattle her in any way, Elle felt her face heat again. This was getting out of control. “I need to get in my car and go before you get me accused of public indecency.”

He chuckled, his voice low and sexy as it rumbled from deep in his chest. “I’m surprised at you, Princess Elle.” And this time, there was no twist of cynicism to his mouth when he called her that. “None of that was even close to threatening the public’s decency.” As he spoke, he moved closer until his big body was crowding her against the car and Elle was breathing in a deep lungful of his intoxicating scent. Faintly smiling, he dipped his head and showed her what a real threat to public decency felt like.

Dear Reader (#ub3f5cc5a-8d47-5b83-a143-e9b22a1785bf),

Atlanta is one of my favorite cities. It’s a place where the music is hot, everyone is beautiful, and you can easily run into a celebrity at the local health-food store. It’s the perfect setting for the Clarks, a family with new money and old-fashioned traditions, and larger-than-life men with enough heat for a slow, Southern August night. Ahmed, the first of these Clark men, came to me in a dream. I hope you find him as wonderful as I do.

With love from Atlanta,

Lindsay

For all my readers, THANK YOU!
