An unexpected tenderness

She may be the co-owner of an elite lingerie boutique that caters to women’s intimate fantasies, but Autumn Dupree doesn’t believe in happy endings. Although determined to keep her own romantic yearnings under wraps, she reluctantly agrees to be her sister’s maid of honor. Worse, she has to share the nuptial festivities with Chicago’s most irresistible bachelor...

Best man Ajay Reed arouses a passion Autumn longs to fulfill. The entrepreneurial nightclub owner has his own reasons for guarding his heart. But the alluring temptress is awakening new feelings he cannot deny. Can Ajay convince Autumn that they both need to take a leap of faith? As well as trust in the promise of a love that could give them everything they ever dreamed of?

He tried not to touch her, but he couldn’t help but drag a single finger down the exposed part of her arm. As suspected, she shivered beneath his touch.

“Giving in would mean I get to unleash the heat and passion that I know you keep hidden. Although I can’t understand why you try to hide it.”

She finally turned to him, lust reflected in her eyes. “You left out one key factor in your statement.”

“Which is?”

Her eyes dropped to his lips and lingered there for a while before meeting his gaze. “You never asked me what I wanted. Whether or not I wanted you to act on your attraction or not. You didn’t even ask me if I’m attracted to you, too.”

Chemistry this strong couldn’t be one-sided, so he sensed she was attracted to him, as well. Even so, he had to ask just to be sure. “Are you attracted to me, too?”

“A pretty obvious yes...”

When she turned forward in her seat again, he didn’t miss the smile that crept across her face. He was sure this was one of those moments that he was supposed to speak and figure out if this conversation concluded with them agreeing to act on their attraction. Or them agreeing that they shouldn’t. But he couldn’t seem to find the right words, and apparently, neither could she.

Dear Reader (#ulink_076c1149-8ad0-5cfa-8db5-d0a39715cc16),

When Autumn Dupree was initially introduced in Enticing Winter, I immediately knew that she was the perfect match for Ajay Reed. Autumn needed a hero who would take the time to understand her, and Ajay needed a heroine who would really challenge him.

Autumn and Ajay were one of my most favorite couples to write about. While writing their story, I became so wrapped up in the emotions of each character. Both Autumn and Ajay had very difficult past experiences, but sometimes, the best way to overcome adversity is to confide in the one person who may understand you more than anyone else.

Summer’s story is next, and I’m really excited for that release. You will finally meet Summer in Falling for Autumn. In addition to being just as driven as her sisters, she’s also just as feisty.

Much love,

Sherelle

This book is dedicated to the readers who enjoyed the Elite Events series so much that it inspired me to write this spin-off series. I hope you enjoy the Dupree sisters just as much as you enjoyed the women of Elite Events. Thank you so much for all your book love and support!

To my cousin Dennis, who not only gave me inspiration for Ajay’s character, but Jaleen’s character, as well! There is so much more to you than what meets the eye, and not only are you charismatic with a big heart, but you’ve had to overcome a lot of adversity to become the man you are today. Not only are you extremely family-oriented, but you make sure that those you love know that they can count on you when needed. Life will always throw us curveballs, and you prove that obstacles don’t keep us down, but make us stronger. I’m so proud of you, and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store.
