He lied. I met my soul mate when I was eight, and he was six. On my twelfth birthday, he proposed. At a party to celebrate my sweet sixteen, he gave me a ring made of daisies. When I left for college, aged eighteen, he cried. And at twenty-four, he broke my heart, shattering it into a million pieces. But that wasn’t the end of our story. A decade later, we’re forced back together, and once again, he holds my future in his hands. Except this time, I’m older and wiser. He pretends he’s innocent, but I know the truth. This time, I’m in control. He no longer mesmerizes me. And Mr. Bigshot Billionaire is about to learn that he can’t have what he wants. Me. A note from Tracie Dear Reader, It’s funny how fast time passes. It doesn’t seem very long at all when I was plotting out the nine book Kingcaid Billionaires series, and now here we are at book 4 already. I do love a story with a long history. Nolen and Marlowe certainly have that. They met when he was only six years old and she was eight. Her brother, also six, was being picked on by an older kid and Marlowe, who’s always been something of a warrior, stepped in and stuck up for her kid brother. From that moment on, Nolen fell in love, and he never stopped loving the woman he knew was his. Unfortunately, life is rarely boxed up in neat little packages, and that’s certainly the case for these two. Mistakes are made on both sides, resulting in a decade apart. But fate has other ideas, the universe designed to bring these two together again. And that’s when sparks fly. Nolen doesn’t hide his love for Marlowe, and she doesn’t hide her dislike of him. As a writer, that provides such a rich tapestry with which to craft a story. I had so much fun spending time with this couple. I do hope you enjoy reading Mesmerized By You.

Anger welled up in my chest, and my fisted hands shook even though I clenched them so hard my nails left imprints in my palms. I paced the length of the living room, counting the twentieth turn at the windows overlooking the swimming pool of the house I shared with my brother, Jason. God, I hated him. Hated him. Not my brother. No, him I loved. His best friend, Nolen Kingcaid, on the other hand… Ugh. Don’t get me started. The man lived to antagonize me, and because he’d known me virtually my entire life, he knew exactly what buttons to press. But this latest stunt of his… he’d gone too damn far. The sound of a car door slamming drew me to the window. I peered
