When love is only a few feet away…

Determined not to follow her mother’s footsteps and give up her dreams for a man, Autumn Locke has no time or desire for a serious relationship. She simply wants to enjoy her last year of college and study hard, while playing even harder. Falling in love was never a part of the plan. Until she unexpectedly has to live with Quincy Jackson, the sexy head drum major, who is just as resolute to tempt Autumn to act on their undeniable attraction.

Tiye Love recalled reading romance ever since she was a young child and would sneak and read the Western love stories her grandmother kept on her bedside table. Although she didn’t understand half of the words she read at the time, something about those books captured her attention. As she grew older, her love of romance expanded to other genres, and she became a fan of anything remotely related to reading and books, such as libraries, bookstores, and the coffeeshop around the corner. She loves to travel and has lived in several cities, including New Orleans, Washington D.C., and Houston, and finds inspiration for her stories from every place she has had the fortune to visit or inhabit. When Tiye is not obsessed with her latest characters, she spends time with herself, family, and friends doing whatever she can to create daily moments of enjoyment.

Quincy placed his hand on mine as I touched the car door.  “Quincy, we can’t.”

He gently demanded, “Turn around.”

I rested my forehead against the top of my car refusing to comply. He placed his hands on either side of me, blocking me in. “I have to go,” I said more firmly than I even believed.

His soft lips traced the nape of my neck. “How long are we going to do this?” 

“Do what?” I don’t know why I was a glutton for punishment. I had to hear him say what had been between us since that very first day he moved in.

He drawled seductively, “I’m not talking to your back as sexy as it is.”

I turned around, tilted my head, with my arms crossed protectively over my heart. “What are we doing?”

Quincy lowered his lashes, smiling. “You’re trying to make me jealous. Dressed like this to go out when you don’t have to go anywhere.”

“Quincy, I do have plans and I need to go. So, if that’s all…” He pressed me against my car, placing light as feather kisses on my neck enticing me with his lips. His hard body felt so good against my soft one. 

He lifted his head. “It’s not all. Come back inside with me or stay in the car and I’ll get rid of everyone. I need you.” His gaze roamed my body hungrily before settling on my face.

I shut my eyes to his intense expression, his slightly gaped mouth ready to kiss me.  “Need me? That’s a joke. You don’t need me. You just want something you can’t have.  And I’m not trying to make you jealous. I do have someone waiting for me, just like you have “Black Barbie” waiting on you inside.” I opened my door and slipped away from him again. I expected anger in his expression when I started my car, all I saw was desire while I backed up and left temptation.
