Book Cover & Preview Text
Unexpectedly, the contours of his face changed. His dark hazel eyes left the attention of his mother and she followed his gaze. Had she not been staring right in his teeth she would have missed the transformation. His expressive recovery was almost instantaneous.
A woman walked in through a side door of the sanctuary. She appeared somewhat irritated but put on a smile for the few people she came in contact with as she made her way across the front of the church. They appeared to be giving her the ‘job well done’ speech. After a moment she stopped to hug an attractive middle-aged woman who she apparently knew very well. The poor girl got the life hugged right out of her.
“My God. Do they still make’em like that?”
“Apparently so, baby. That’s Carolina McClenndon,” his mother offered not missing his drooling mouth for one minute. “Quite a looker isn’t she?”
She was shorter than what he was accustomed to, about five one, five two, but it made her sexy as hell. The hair was of a medium length and in a cut to precision bob that rested on the slight roundness of her cheeks. The golden glow of her skin reminded him of caramel bites and damn if he didn’t wonder what it would be like to taste her. Would she be soft and pliant under his fingers? Her curvaceous body told him she worked out not a day in her life. She did not need to. Her curves were soft and lush. Her stomach was flat and her slenderness was purely and provocatively woman. Her legs were bare and held that smooth quality of spun silk. The strong and noticeable muscles in her calves changed his mind about her not working out though. They were too defined. She had runners’ calves. Still ladylike, sexy. And the seductive high-heeled, open-toe sandals? Oh. My. Goodness.
Imagining her legs wrapped around his waist and even more daringly around his neck, feet encased in those high heels, made his eyelids lower seductively.
Unconsciously, he licked his full lips..........

About the Author
Hot! Hot! Hot!
Literary art introduces its most hottest, most aspiring, yet prolific African-American romance author yet, V. Ann Weeks!
Born and raised in the innocent beauty of North Carolina, it is where she still resides and hopes to raise a family. The eldest of ten siblings she was destined for greatness. Her mother was her inspiration. "Mommy is an awesome writer and speaker," Ms. Weeks states. "She has such strength and power in words. I remember saying, 'I want that!'" At eleven her father read one of her short stories and thought she wrote better than most college students. That struck a chord. She would one day write her own literary works. The stage of life presented itself with setbacks but did not stop production. Today that dream is reality.
She credits Jesus Christ for her successes. "Without Him there is no me," she states. Giving the book totally back to God signifies allowing Him full control. "I'll go as far as God allows." Although some find it odd she includes scriptural references in her steamy novels it has become her signature, following the lead of her favorite African-American romance author, Brenda Jackson. "God is love," V. Ann defends, "and I believe He honors a healthy expression of that love."
V. Ann Weeks writes to inspire and in some way tell the world about Christ. She believes God can be found in the most surprising places and bring about hope. "Nothing is impossible!" she continues. "See the dream, then do the dream! God will honor your faith and effort!"
Thanks to AuthorHouse Publishing, V. Ann Week's first novel, A Corporate Temptation, is due for release in early 2011. She is also currently working on her second novel scheduled for fall 2012.
V. Ann Weeks. Get ready for this girl!
