Book Cover & Preview Text
EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER ONE: All I know is this man has been taking me for granted for the last eight years and it was getting old very fast. I didn’t mind taking care of my kids, but he thought of me as his maid, cook, errand runner and periodic concubine. I couldn’t even remember the last time we’d made love with any sort of passion. It had become mechanical and unfeeling, much like everything else in our marriage. My husband is a successful architect and he often had other businesses deliver blueprints and mock-ups of designs to the house, which was his office away from the office. I’d changed the very last bed in the house and had settled onto the couch with remote in hand and an ice cold Diet Coke when the doorbell buzzed. I sighed in frustration as I got up to answer it. The show was just getting to the good part of the particular soap opera I watched daily from eleven o’clock to noon. I peeked out of the peephole and standing there was a dark chocolate hunk of a man in a standard issue, brown, UPS uniform. Something about the set of his shoulders, and the way the cuff of the short-sleeved shirt fit around his muscular biceps, told me he was a very well-built man beneath his outfit. I didn’t realize I had gotten caught up in looking at his form until he rang the doorbell a second time. I stepped back from the door and said, “I’ll be there shortly, hold on.” I ran to the mirror resting against the sofa table right by the entryway and checked my appearance. I looked presentable enough. I had on a pair of low-rise, snug denim shorts and a top that accentuated my robust cleavage. I silently thanked my children for giving me a nice set of breasts. On my feet were flip-flop slippers and my hair was up in a ponytail. My head encased in an orange and white bandana to keep the dust out of my hair while doing chores. I inhaled a few times and pulled on the doorknob. When he looked up at me, I almost melted where I stood. He smiled a brilliantly vibrant grin, which only served to further light up his paper bag brown eyes.
