But beneath that hard-driving facade is a woman yearning to make magic with one special man. And when she spies a gorgeous hunk at a bar, she does something totally out of character&#8230;and ends up in Damien Hunter&#8217;s hotel room, sharing the most unforgettable night of her life.<\/p>\n<p>Business has brought the New York playboy to Florida, but it&#8217;s pleasure that keeps him coming back for more. Especially when he discovers that he and Niveah will be working together. That blows Niveah&#8217;s mind, but Damien is determined to win her trust&#8230;and her love.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pink_text_1\"><a id=\"excerpt\" name=\"excerpt\"><\/a>Excerpt:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore the night\u2019s over, I\u2019m going to find you someone to dance with. Someone like\u2026\u201d Jeanette Miller\u2019s gaze panned the crowd and after several seconds, she squealed. Bouncing up and down on her seat like an unruly toddler high on sugar, she clapped her hands and nodded her head. \u201cCheck out the hottie at the end of the bar. He\u2019s a perfect ten!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Niveah Evans didn\u2019t bother looking up from her drink. Jeanette\u2019s idea of good-looking was a lanky gang banger plastered in tattoos, but Niveah preferred studious, conservative types. Not a square, just someone with manners and class who\u2019d treat her with respect. But like her ex-fianc\u00e9 had so aptly proven nine months ago, looks were deceiving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat man is <em>beyond<\/em> fine!\u201dRoxi Gonzalez said, licking her plump pink lips. \u201cI\u2019d do him in a New York minute!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Niveah\u2019s ears perked up. If Roxi thought the stranger was <em>fine<\/em>, then he was. Despite being divorced twice, she was in the market for husband number three, and could spot a good-looking man a block away.<\/p>\n<p>Straightening in her seat, Niveah peered around the cluster of Barbie clones obscuring her view of the bar. Jeanette yanked her to the left, pointed an acrylic fingernail directly ahead, and yelled, \u201cHe\u2019s the one in the dark, designer suit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Niveah\u2019s mouth fell open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told you he was perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And he was. Words couldn\u2019t describe how truly gorgeous the stranger was. Bald, buff brothers didn\u2019t usually catch Niveah\u2019s eye, but this man had it seriously going on. Immaculately groomed, with clear skin, and defined features, he a one-of-a-kind look that instantly made her wet. His gaze was hungry, almost predatory, and his sexy mouth was rimmed with a neat, trim goatee. The brother owned the room, and the hearts of all the females in attendance\u2014including hers. Her body hummed, and suddenly the grand ballroom felt hotter than a furnace. An aura of mystery surrounded the stranger, making him even more appealing. Staring at him, so intently, was bound to make Niveah go cross-eyed, but she didn\u2019t have the strength to look away.\u00a0 She was drawn to him, overtaken by a blinding sexual hunger she\u2019d never known.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I had a man like that at home, I\u2019d never leave,\u201d Roxi quipped, fanning her cheeks. \u201cI think I\u2019ll just go over and say hello.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Niveah cut her eyes at Roxi. \u201cWhat about Cedrick?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat about him? Until he \u2018puts a ring on it\u2019, I\u2019m keeping my options wide open.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeanette gripped her girlfriend\u2019s forearm, preventing her from rising from her seat. \u201cSit your big butt down. I picked him out for Niveah, not you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGirl, please. Ms. Thang can\u2019t handle all that man. He\u2019s six feet tall and over two hundred pounds. He\u2019d probably snap her skinny body in two.\u201d Cackling like a witch on a broom, she adjusted the neckline on her outfit. Roxi used every opportunity to show off her boobs, and her zipper-front dress served up an eyeful. \u201c<em>I<\/em> on the other hand, specialize in turning out jocks, and that cutie\u2019s exactly my type.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Angry about being dissed, Niveah shot her soon-to-be <em>ex<\/em> friend a scathing look. \u201cYou think you know everything about me, Roxi, but you don\u2019t. I\u2019m ever bit as daring as you are. If not more.\u201d To prove it, she stopped a passing waiter, ordered a cognac, and instructed him to deliver it to the gentleman at the end of the bar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery well, ma\u2019am. Would you care to include a message?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Niveah shielded her mouth with the back of her hand. She spoke only loud enough for the waiter to hear, and when he departed, she couldn\u2019t help but smile to herself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, you sent him a drink. Big friggin\u2019 deal. You\u2019re as straight-laced as they come, and\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWanna bet?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roxi smirked. \u201cI\u2019d love to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKnock it off you two,\u201d Jeanette ordered. \u201cYou sound like a couple of kids having a pissing contest on the school yard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roxi ignored her, and addressed Niveah. \u201cIf I\u2019m right about you being a goody two shoes, you\u2019ll have to hand over your new Gucci handbag. You know, the one I watched you drop a thousand dollars on at the mall yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, and I want your Oprah tickets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her face crumpled like a piece of paper. \u201cB-b-but they\u2019re the tickets to her final show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose are the terms. Deal, or no deal?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&gt; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Promises-We-Make-Kimani-Romance\/dp\/0373861990\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1296148332&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">Amazon<\/span><\/span><\/a> \u00a0\u00a0&gt; <a href=\"http:\/\/search.barnesandnoble.com\/Promises-We-Make\/Pamela-Yaye\/e\/9780373861996\/?itm=4&amp;USRI=pamela+yaye\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Promises We Make February 2011 &gt; Amazon \u00a0\u00a0&gt; B&amp;N It&#8217;s passion at first sight&#8230; Fast-track media buyer Niveah Evans is too busy climbing the corporate ladder to think about love.
