About the book
Breanna Baker felt as though her life was under control as long as she was in control of her life, but the moment she makes the startling discovery that she’s five weeks pregnant, things start to spin out of control for sure. To add fuel to the fire that’s already burning in her life, her grandmother passes away and she returns home where she’s compelled to turn her attention to issues other than her untimely pregnancy. Breanna feels obligated to save everyone from themselves, but when she uncovers the dark secret that had been hidden by her family for years, she is forced to face herself in the mirror to discover a truth that must be reckoned with before she can go any further in her life.

About the book
If Ever a young girl fell in love, how long would it last?
If Ever a man was worth the effort, how would a woman make him see her?
If Ever a woman found the man of her dreams, what would she give to hold onto him for a lifetime?
Lacy Olivia Bennett has all of these questions and more, when it comes to sexy Justin McKenna. Tall, dark and handsome were mere words when it came to the man she’d lusted after for more years than she cared to count. Growing up on the edge of his friendship, just out of range of his love hasn’t stopped her from wanting and wishing for more and now she is a woman who would willingly do whatever it takes to connect with the man of her dreams – except be taken for one of the guys.
The guys get football games, beer, and loud laughter. Lacey wants hot nights, sweet whispered promises, and forever love, but Justin hasn’t got a clue. He’s a good guy with good intentions, but that is nowhere near enough. Willing to take what she can get, she’s done all she can: dropped sixty pounds, strutted her stuff, made seduction in the workplace into an art form, and always been a friend. And the man is still patting her on the head and inviting her out with the guys. Pushed to the limits of her tolerance and desire, Lacey decides to stake a claim on herself, her body, and her future.
If Ever a woman needed to get her strut on with a man like Justin McKenna, would she take a walk in Lacey’s stilettos?
