Andrea can't see where the relationship can go from here because she's eighteen and he's thirty-six and he's white and she's black.
It wasn't that Andrea didn't like Susan's controlling father, Robert Belgrave, when she slighted him. It was because she didn't expect to fall in love with him. This wasn't supposed to happen. She would seduce him, get him back to dating women, so Susan can have a life, and she can go back to college.
There is nothing Robert Belgrave can't handle when it comes to business, no situation he can't control, and no woman he can't walk away from, until he meets Andrea Hawthorne. Every move of her brown body sends erotic waves of excitement through him, and he wants to possess her, and take her.
Will the fire that burns white hot between them simmer and lose its heat once he discovers the truth?
