READ EXCERPT

Black Mystique is even more beautiful when she glowers at me. Like there are a hell of a lot more important things she could be doing than dealing with me. With those tight, track-running curves teasing me from underneath her black strapless jumpsuit, she crushes every single chick in here. Caramel smooth skin, and a crown of woolly, sandy-brown hair, wild and slicked back into a bushy ponytail, shit.

“So this is a dance contest,” Showtime explains, chuckling. “And it gets a little… spicy. We’ll leave it to our guests here which one of you is most creative.”

The moment she hears this, my Black Mystique takes off, led by the appall on her face. And drags the tenderest half of my chest with her.

Damn.

But Princess waits at the edge of the stage as if she’s coaching a boxing match and pulls Eugenia down to yell in her ear.

I can’t decipher what all’s being said, but it sounds something like, Don’t you dare leave her up there with him. Here. Take another shot.

And I’ll be damned. Eugenia actually guzzles it.
This woman must be to Eugenia what Mickey was to Rocky Balboa. What my brother, Desmond, is to me.
I’m tickled when she resumes her position on the stage, nervous and determined, with new liquid courage. Though I know exactly what I want, I’m not saying a word because I’m on the hunt for Eugenia’s other side.
Showtime cues up the music. “Now the two of you will face off with each other for three minutes. Anything goes. We won’t stop you. Winner gets tickets to Sasha Static. And maybe, maybe, her choice of who she’ll kick it with this weekend—Keenan or me.”

She doesn’t dare throw a look my way, but her quite-endowed co-worker, Sharae, eyes me and flicks her sizable breasts in my direction.

I hope I didn’t calculate this wrong.

Several years ago, I had it all.
Married to a wealthy banker in New York, my social worker career on the rise, this girl from the South side of Chicago had left behind her hard knock life. But the fairytale could not silence my demons, or heal me from my family's past tragedy.
Now I'm a single mother in a bare-knuckled court battle with my ex-husband, and on the brink of losing the most important person to me--my son. I can't foul up again. So I'm not taking any risks. Not on crazy social scenes, not on foreign excursions with strangers, and not on romance. Especially not with the brazen, rowdy likes of Keenan McLain.

Keenan
Hell, I'm a roughneck from Baltimore who loves his smash-first-ask-questions-later lifestyle. As the CEO of the East Coast's new black-owned luxury adventure company, I can have practically any woman here in the Hamptons I want. But damn, I'm growing obsessed with only one. Our Christmas hookup a few months ago was supposed to be a one-and-done. But Eugenia was too explosive, a quiet storm with depth she hides from the world and I want more of.
But that night really was just a puff-puff-pass for her. She's older than me. People say she's got issues, but I'm the one having withdrawals over her. Am I really ready to give up my life and go all in to be her man? How do I convince her to move on from her past despair, and take a risk with her heart one more time? Especially for an unproven young 'hood like me.

This is Book 4 of Explore Men of the Hamptons series, and can be read as a standalone. It has a prequel novella offered for free on Lula White's web site--Christmas Down Under-- but it is not necessary to understand this storyline.
This is a complete narrative and an HEA, but characters and series storylines are continued from previous books.
