I have no idea what triggers you but I will try to cover the bases. 1. They having sex… a lot of it. This should really be an erotica with a really good story line 2. They’re cussing. I mean not excessively but they are. 3. There is usage of the “n” word. If you don’t know I am a black woman with license to use that word. So…. 4. There is mention of drugs, gangs, death, bad parenting, and incarceration. 5. Uhhhh…I think that bout covers the bases here. If you want to continue flip the page, let’s get it. If not, I’ll see you in an older release or the next one. This is NOT a Ganton Hills book.

She wasn’t planning to stay long - but she got caught in his web... again. Universes clash again and what was lost is quickly found.        1       “I don’t need Feng Shui, Jenesia,” Cole growled, his hand wrapped around the base of her throat, lightly squeezing the sides. The heat of his gaze mixed with the pressure around her neck was doing exactly what it intended. As if she was metal beneath intense heat, her body morphed into everything she’d been for him… once upon a time . His girl. “I need you .” That was the line turning Jenesia to putty, blossoming like an orchid for the man she’d been avoiding for years. Three days prior, she’d walked into this office with every hope of doing her job and getting out without incident. They’d been flames dancing around one another in the years since they decided a relationship wouldn’t work for either of them.

She could never be. As long as Jenesia was alive and within his reach, Cole would see no other woman. With her bag thrown over her shoulder, Jenesia didn’t bother saying another
