Donna Hill - The Way You Love Me

Making a case for love...

Struggling law student Bailey Sinclair is working two jobs to make ends meet on the night a charismatic stranger walks into her bar. The attraction between them is instantaneous—and explosive. Until Bailey discovers that her anonymous hunk is none other than Justin Lawson, one of the richest, most hotly pursued bachelors in all of Baton Rouge.

Justin is thrilled to discover that the woman managing the bar at his family’s celebration at the Lawson mansion is the intriguing beauty he hasn’t been able to forget. Now all he wants is to lavish Bailey with gifts and his passionate attention. But she’s too proud and independent to accept his help—and determined to make it on her own. They may come from different worlds, but doesn’t Bailey realize there are no obstacles to love...if she’s willing to trust him with her heart?

“I have no idea how to work this thing.”

Justin grinned. “Help is on the way.”

He crossed the room with the wineglasses, gave Bailey hers and tapped their glasses together. He leaned down and kissed her lips. “Hmm, sweet.”

Bailey’s insides vibrated. She couldn’t imagine what making love to him would feel like. Inadvertently, she moaned.

Justin tipped his head toward her in question.

“The wine...it’s really good.” At least she was still thinking on her feet.

“Glad you like it.”

He turned his attention to the system, pressed a few buttons, and Luther Vandross’s sultry crooning wafted around them.

Justin took Bailey’s glass from her hand and placed it on the side table. “Dance with me.”

Bailey sputtered a nervous laugh. “Dance with you?”

“Yes.” He stepped to her, slid one arm around her waist and eased her close. “Like this,” he murmured against her hair.

Her eyes drifted closed when she rested her head against his chest and she silently prayed that he didn’t feel her body trembling. Her pulse roared in her ears.

Welcome to the latest installment of the Lawsons of Louisiana series. You’ve met several of the members of this dynamic clan, shared in the intrigue, their complicated loves and exciting lives. Now I want to introduce you to the youngest member, the sensual Justin Lawson. Much like his siblings Lee Ann, Dominique, Desiree and Rafe, Justin intends to forge his own path, his way. And like his siblings, when he sees something he wants, he goes after it. What he wants is the heart and soul of Bailey Sinclair. However, it won’t be easy to convince the very independent Bailey that it’s time for someone to love her, to care for her the way that she has taken care of her siblings.

I love writing about the Lawsons, who split their time between Baton Rouge and Sag Harbor. The locales are perfect backdrops, and the complications that their status and money afford them are great fodder for sexy, thrilling and satisfying stories that I hope each of you enjoy.

So sit back, relax, grab a glass of wine and enjoy the journey to love with Justin Lawson and Bailey Sinclair. I guarantee that you will be glad you did.

Also, be sure to check out all of the books in the Lawsons of Louisiana series. There are plenty more to come.

Until next time,
