About this ebook

Though her Lexus may be broken down on the California freeway, Jessi Teresa Blake is no damsel in distress. Rich, smart, and beautiful, JT, or "Lady Blake," as she is called, is one of the toughest sports agents around. She's negotiated megabucks contracts for every superstar in the business, and only the most confident of men can match wits with her. Men like Reese Anthony, the impossibly sexy trucker who gives her a lift back to Oakland.

But Reese isn't just a truck driver--he's a partner in his family's multi-million-dollar company, a lawyer, and a former cop. He's been asked to quietly investigate a murder in the world of L.A. football, a job he's thrilled to discover brings him closer to the beautiful woman he found stranded on the highway. And when he detects a bitter enemy threatening JT's life, he's willing to protect her--and pleasure her--all night long.

Ratings and reviews

Jessi is quite a character & her steamy "Mcwish-itwere-me" scenes w/ Reese were very tastefully written by my favorite author. I began reading Beverly w/ her first "Blessings" novel & I'm in the little of history about Max and her Rottweilers....# 14 for me. Thank U BJ for Ur WELL ROINDED stories & their Historical facts.....Pleez Do Not Stop typing.

Oooolala! That was a great start to a story. Beautiful, strong, educated Black people with extrordinary jobs. Great! l love a book that challenges my most wonderful imagination. This will definitely be a buy.

I am so in awe by Beverly's writing! Her character's back back stories, the passionate heat between them and story building are wonderful.
