EXCERPT

Picking up where we left off last Sunday from the opening scene, at their 20th college reunion:

“How could I forget that year?” Brenda arched an eyebrow. “I didn’t want you to move out, but he had you smothered with love—you weren’t about to listen to me.”

Janet pulled her hand away a second time. “I loved Tom. He loved me. We just weren’t ready to get married.”

“Getting pregnant changed that.” Brenda settled her hands in her own lap.

Janet nodded. She’d been so diligent about taking her pill each morning. Only years later, after a night of carousing, had Tom confessed that he’d switched her pills with look-alike fakes for four months before she announced her pregnancy. He’d wanted her to drop out of college entirely.

Thankfully, looking back, her parents had blocked that move by providing them with additional financial support and help with baby Thomas, when he arrived. Janet graduated cum laude with a diploma, a husband, and a baby. What more could a girl ask for?

BLURB

Janet Baxter keeps her post-divorce life neatly compartmentalized: Secure job, spacious Westchester County home, successful adult children, dependable community volunteer activities. Why is she drawn—for the first time ever—to attend her twenty-year college reunion in New York City?

Always a free spirit, Brenda Cassidy is comfortably bisexual and has no plans to ever settle down. But a fling? The reappearance of svelte, reserved Janet Baxter in Brenda’s life is nothing less than a gift, worthy of every enticement Brenda can conjure up. Can Brenda seduce Janet into an endless night of the lovemaking they enjoyed too briefly as college roommates? What if the lady wants more?

EXCERPT

At their 20th college reunion, Janet and Brenda have skipped out to their former favorite hangout, a bar with a band.

Chapter One

“That bastard,” Brenda Cassidy hissed, clutching Janet Baxter’s hand. “I always thought you were too good for Tom Baxter. He was an arrogant prick even when we were in college.”

Janet managed a thin smile, but carefully withdrew her hand from her former roommate’s grasp. She’d certainly called her ex-husband worse names after the events of the last several months, but it was good to hear those words from someone she hadn’t seen or even talked to for years.

“And he dumped you?” Brenda clasped Janet’s hand again, as if to add comfort to her words. “After twenty-one years and two kids.”

Janet shrugged. “Twenty-two years, if you count our junior year when we lived together.”

“Right. How could I forget that year?”

Book Blurb

Theirs was a marriage made in heaven, a marriage meant to last forever or so they thought.

A once-perfect marriage was thrown into a fragile state as a result of tiny whispers, and an unfortunate encounter causes the marriage to collapse. The once happy couple separate and a heartbroken Leilani returns home to London. And then out of the blue, Folarin’s family needs Leilani’s help and she must return to her ex-husband’s side. A series of unfortunate events have brought them together again and Folarin and Leilani must come to terms with the realisation, that somebody, somewhere was wrong. As they spend more time together, falling in love seems inevitable; even though one of them is promised to another, they must find a way to learn to trust and forgive each other in other to move on.

Will Folarin be able to trust Leilani?

Will Leilani be able to forget the pain of their first marriage?

Will they both believe in second chances?

Excerpt

Folarin wasn’t surprised Leilani had hung up on him yesterday.

He had expected her to be angry and yes, she was right to be angry, but still, he was angry with himself for calling her and even more annoyed that she hung up on him. And he was also a little bit tipsy.

Damn Leilani.

All she had to do was listen to him, was that so difficult to do? He got to his car, a sleek black BMW X6, and fumbled with his keys, cursing when they dropped from his hands. Placing his left arm on the bonnet for balance, he bent down to look for his keys.

He located them by his feet and gave a whoop of delight. Straightening up, he opened the door on the driver’s side and got in. He squinted. Everything looked blurred. But he could see the wide road before him, so he was good to go.

Starting the engine, Folarin gripped the steering wheel and drove out of the restaurant premises, his eyes focused on the road before him.

He had only gone a few miles when he ran a red light.

He didn’t hear people screaming and he didn’t see the truck coming until it rammed into the passenger side of his car. The impact lifted his car, and it rolled over a couple of times, the windscreen shattering as the car tumbled down the poorly lit street, finally coming to a stop at the end of the road.

As his life flashed before him, Leilani was the last person he thought of just before the airbag deployed in his face.

And then he blacked out.

Excerpt

Hello?” Leilani answered her phone after it had rung a couple of times.

“Hello, Leilani.”

Leilani froze. She would know that voice anywhere; it was the voice of someone she would never forget. Folarin Balogun, her unforgiving ex-husband. It had been two years since she had last heard from him, two years since that fateful night when their marriage had ended abruptly. She almost dropped the phone in shock.

“How did you get my number?” she asked, slumping into her chair in the back office of her café.

Silence. Then Folarin Balogun responded quietly, “I got your number from Tega.”

Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and waited for a couple of seconds. “What do you want, Folarin?” she asked in a very unfriendly tone. “You must have a reason for calling me.” Leilani knew that she sounded rude, but she didn’t care. She was in no mood to be polite to Folarin Balogun.

He had hurt her so much. Back then, she thought she would die from the pain he had caused her. It had taken her a long time to heal, and now she was ready to move on. Hearing his voice again brought back painful memories, memories she would rather leave in the past, where they belonged.
