Book 2 of the Latter Rain series is coming 2/16/16 so I thought I'd share an unedited sample to whet you appetite. Enjoy!!
He walked down the row, stopped at
the girl next to me, and I inadvertently rolled my eyes. She was a cookie
cutter version of the other girls—tall, lean, and light, bright, damn near
white. I scoffed softly when he leaned in and whispered in her ear. Out of the
corner of my eye, I saw his head snap up and in my direction. His soft eyes met
mine and something inside of me melted a bit. “Did you say something?” he
asked.
His voice.
I’d heard it before, knew it well,
but there in the same room with me, it was so soft, so gentle, so… sexy. I was
left speechless.
“Okay,” he said. “Let’s try this: what’s
your name?”
“Chelly,” I said, giving him my
self-assigned professional name.
“Chelly. I like that.” He left the
girl next to me and stood directly in front of me, a couple of inches taller
than me in my uncomfortable heels. I stared at him against my will and my eyes
took in those sad brown eyes, smooth tan skin that boasted his half-black,
half-Puerto Rican heritage, and thin lips that I already knew would eventually
part into a pristine white smile. No facial hair. He was a beautiful man, more
beautiful than any woman I’d ever seen. He leaned in close to my ear; minty
breath brushed my skin as he whispered, “I think we’d go good together. You?”
