Sherelle Green - A Miami Affair

He’ll give her everything

Corporate raider Joshua DeLong is at the top of Miami’s list of most eligible bachelors, and happy to stay there. Always playing to win in the boardroom and the bedroom, he intends to shake up the refined Millionaire Moguls. Josh has big plans for their next benefit—especially once he meets the charity’s beautiful, buttoned-up PR director, Becca Wright.

Although independent overachiever Becca isn’t looking for a bad boy with big bucks, she needs to convince Josh to support her foundation. That means visiting his yacht and accompanying the sexy tycoon to glitzy events. Suddenly Becca’s letting her hair—and her guard—down...and starting to see beneath the trappings of Josh’s success. Is she just the latest challenge for a man addicted to conquest, or the first to make him dream about forever?

“If I ever marry, I need a woman who’s going to challenge me in ways I’ve never been challenged. A woman who wants me to walk beside her as we go through life, but is independent and filled with vigor and passion.”

He was so close that all Becca had to do was turn her head and their lips would be centimeters apart. Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn’t hear anything else. She chanced a glance in his direction and was taken aback by the look she saw in his eyes.

“For this night to be about business,” she said, “we sure are talking about a lot of nonbusiness-related topics.”

“Is this just about business?” Josh asked. “Because this feels like a lot more than just business.”

She turned to him then, filled with questions that she refused to ask and answers he’d never give. Don’t get lost in those baby blues. She wasn’t sure if it was the moonlight hitting his profile perfectly or the sound of the waves crashing on the shore in the distance, but the energy around them became even more electric.

“If we take this any further, it would be wrong.”

“I disagree, Ms. Wright.” Josh’s eyes bounced from her eyes to her lips. “I think stopping here would be the real tragedy.”

Dear Reader,

Although well-off, successful characters are a trademark of mine, millionaires were a new venture. I was drawn to a world of opposites in which two people start off in completely different places in life and cross unspoken boundaries, landing them exactly where they were destined to be.

Bad-boy millionaire Joshua DeLong may appear to be self-centered, but he earned his money and lifestyle through hard work while also breaking the rules along the way—a devilish trait that left him vulnerable to the dynamic and limitless Becca Wright. Becca’s a destined debutante who left her lavish life behind to achieve more rewarding goals. She knows Josh’s type, which means she’ll do anything to ignore their chemistry...

I laughed out loud while writing Josh and Becca’s story. My obsession with the little flaws that make people wonderful and perfect for one another made writing this book enjoyable and entertaining. Hope you enjoy it!

Much love,

Sherelle

To Auntie Mickey, an independent, amazing and fun-loving woman whom I’ve always admired. I’m not sure if you remember this, but I recall that one of the first books I ever got as a little girl came from you. It was called The Rainbabies, and I read that book so many times that the binding weakened. You always understood my love for reading, and even as an adult, you’ve supported me in all my endeavors. When asked why I’m so creative, I often say it’s because of you. Every family has that one hidden treasure who passes down traditions and values while ensuring that everyone remains close-knit. For our family, you’re that person, and because of your generous and selfless spirit, every single family member always feels like they have you in their corner rooting them on. Saying thank you doesn’t seem strong enough to portray just how much I appreciate having you in my life. You mean so much to me and I am honored to be your niece.

Acknowledgments

To Auntie Val, a woman whose smile and laugh is as infectious as her warm hugs. One of my fondest memories is with you and Auntie Mickey on one of our infamous shopping trips. I learned at a young age that having aunts who I felt so close to was something I would always cherish. One of the qualities that I’ve always admired about you is your ability to teach a life lesson in such a creative way that oftentimes your nieces and nephews don’t realize they’ve been taught a lesson at all. You always give good advice, and it’s obvious to anyone that meets you that you keep your strong faith and family values close to your heart. Thank you so much for always being a sound voice in my life. I feel so lucky to have you as my aunt.

Chapter 1

“You’ve reached The Aunt Penny Foundation. Sorry, we are unable to take your call at the moment. Please leave your name, number and a detailed message, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.”

Joshua DeLong cringed at the sound of the annoying beep indicating that he had to leave yet another message for Becca Wright, the director of public relations for The Aunt Penny Foundation. It was even more frustrating that he didn’t have Ms. Wright’s direct cell phone number, forcing him to call the main line. Just as he was about to leave a voice mail, he got another call.

“At least someone is calling me back today,” he said right before he switched to the incoming call. The call went precisely how he wished most of his business calls would go. Brief and in his favor.

Josh welcomed the light breeze that twirled through his curly cocoa-colored hair. It was the perfect Miami June morning to spend outside on the upper deck of his luxury yacht that was more of a home to him than his condos in New York and LA. Maybe he preferred his yacht more than his other homes because it was the only one that offered the opportunity to escape reality whenever he wanted to. It’s not that Josh normally needed a break from his everyday life, but lately he hadn’t found solace living in any place that wasn’t gently rocking from the waves made by boats leaving the private South Beach marina.
