Kianna Alexander - Love For All Time

The TV star he admired from a distance—

just descended on his beach town...

Sapphire Shores is rolling out the red carpet for Sierra Dandridge, aka the Ice Queen. But real estate scion Campbell Monroe finds nothing cold about the worldly beauty. Their sizzling desire culminates in an intimate affair neither wants to end. Until a younger actress’s vicious social media campaign threatens Sierra’s career, and her life...

KIANNA ALEXANDER, like any good Southern belle, wears many hats: loving wife, doting mama, advice-dispensing sister and gabbing girlfriend. She’s a voracious reader, an amateur seamstress and occasional painter in oils. Chocolate, American history, sweet tea and Idris Elba are a few of her favorite things. A native of the Tar Heel state, Kianna still lives there with her husband, two kids and a collection of well-loved vintage ’80s Barbie dolls.

“Do you really think that? Or is this just flattery?”

“It’s the truth. Yeah, I’ll admit I feel like a teenaged boy who got pulled onstage with his favorite singer right now.” Damn. Didn’t mean to say that aloud. He ran a hand over his face. “But I meant every word I said.”

The soft smile on her face grew even bigger. “Wow.”

He smiled back, still trying to read that look in her eyes. What is she thinking right now?

A moment later, she leaned toward him. Her small hand came up to cup his jaw. “You’re quite the charmer, Campbell Monroe.”

“Not really.” He couldn’t tear his eyes away from hers. His face tingled beneath the warmth of her touch. “I’m just honest.”

She tilted her head, letting her eyes drift closed as her lips formed that unmistakable pucker shape.

He didn’t know how they’d gotten here but he wasn’t about to turn down an invitation like that. He placed a hand on her shoulder, then gently touched his lips to hers.

Dear Reader,

Thanks for picking up a copy of Love for All Time. I hope you enjoy returning to Sapphire Shores with me. Lots of things are changing on the island, and the characters are undergoing changes, as well. Campbell Monroe has thought himself impervious to developing feelings for a woman. Now Sierra Dandridge is going to challenge everything he thought he knew. I hope you enjoy the story, and I look forward to your feedback on social media or via my website contact form.

Best,

Kianna

For my brother Eric. May you discover the purpose that lies within you, and may your dreams become reality.

About the Publisher

Chapter 1

“Do we have to film this scene today?” Sitting in the back of the chauffeur-driven sedan, Sierra Dandridge looked hopefully toward the passenger seat.

Up front, Jazmin shook her head. “I don’t even know why you asked me that, girl.” Having often said she didn’t like being chauffeured around, she always sat up front.

Sierra sighed at the inevitable response. Me, either. “It was worth a shot.”

Jazmin chuckled. “No, it wasn’t.” She turned around to look her way. “You know I sympathize with you, as a friend. But as a producer of the show, I’m gonna need you to get it together.”

Rolling her eyes, Sierra flopped against the leather seat. “I know, I know.” It wasn’t as if she disliked her role on the new drama series The Shores . Even though the show had cast her to play “to type,” and she hated being pigeonholed, she still enjoyed the role. As filming locations went, though, the island of Sapphire Shores was about as dull as it could get. “I guess we may as well get it over with.”

“Don’t worry. This is your last scene with Mia for at least a few days or so.”

“I’ll take whatever break from her you can give me.”

“I know you and Mia aren’t exactly close,” Jazmin quipped. “But she’s your colleague. I expect you two to keep it professional.”

Rolling her eyes at the mention of that name, Sierra nodded. “Always. I never mess around when it comes to my coins. But I can’t speak for Mia.”

Mia Leigh, the lead actress on The Shores , had become the bane of her existence. This season’s script had Sierra and Mia cast as “frenemies,” complete with the much younger Mia being slick at the mouth with Sierra. That would be fine with Sierra, if only Mia could keep that drama on the set. Petty as she was, Ms. Leigh seemed to have a real-life vendetta against Sierra.
