A moment passed and neither made any effort to move, still gazing at each other, memorizing each fine line that detailed their expressions.

Collin’s eyes flickered closed and then open. “I swear,” he repeated. “I’m going.”

She laughed, acutely aware of the urgent matter pressing tightly against the front of his slacks for attention. She shifted her body forward until she was pressed firmly against him. His arm tightened around her waist, his fingers gripping the back of her dress.

“You’re not playing fair,” he said. “You know what you’re doing to me, right?” He pushed his pelvis forward, the gesture teasing.

“That feels like a personal problem to me.”

“Oh, it’s very personal. It’s about as personal as you can get.”

“I imagine that’s why you haven’t moved yet?”

“That, and you need to move first. Unless you want me to roll over you?”

London giggled softly. She pushed her body even closer against his.

“London,” he started, “maybe we should...”

“Maybe we should just stop talking,” she said. She trailed her fingertips along the profile of his face. “In fact, I can think of a few other things we could be doing,” she concluded, and then she kissed him, capturing his luscious lips with her own.

When a man has dreams that revolve around a woman he loves, he knows everything is possible and there is nothing that’s insurmountable. Baby boy Collin Stallion is all grown up, and his days of stealing cars are long behind him. He’s standing on the right side of the law, and the only thing he’s stealing now is a woman’s heart. London Jacobs talks a great game, and the only rules she plays by are the ones she sets. But there is something about Collin that has her breaking those rules like there’s no tomorrow. He’s the game changer that has her fantasizing about her own big dreams!

This Stallion son hasn’t fallen far from the family tree and I absolutely adore him. Collin makes my heart sing, and I hope you’ll enjoy his journey toward love as much as I enjoyed writing it. Together, Collin and London are sheer joy!

Thank you so much for your support. This is my last Kimani title, and my success with the Stallion and Boudreaux families would not have been possible without all of you. I am humbled by all the love you continue to show me, my characters and our stories. I can’t begin to express how grateful I am.

Until the next series and the next family and definitely the next story, please take care, and may God’s blessings be with you always.

With much love,

Deborah Fletcher Mello
