Jamaican Temptation - Can you
resist!
Shopaholic Kyra Mays decides
to shop for a rich man on her Jamaican vacation. Instead, she meets Justin
Lance, a white reggae singer who’s nearly as poor as the orphans he devotes his
life to helping. Overwhelmed by his magnetism, she decides to have a fling with
him.
All that matters to Justin is
being a perfect Rastafarian. He vows to avoid succumbing to temptation with the
dark beauty at all costs. Unable to keep their hands off each other, they forge
a bond that is just as emotional as physical as they explore their differences
on the lush island of Jamaica. But Justin’s secret will put their ability to
compromise through an impossible test.
Kyra sipped her yellow, frosty
drink when it arrived, tasting pineapple, rum, and sugar. “Just what I thought.
Lame. I told you we should have gone to Grand Cayman instead.”
“But Jamaica has more beauty,”
Latasha insisted. “Did you see those mountains as we flew in? I already have
ideas for at least ten paintings.”
“You’re such an artist. Grand
Cayman has a zillion banks. That’s my kind of art.”
“Maybe we can tour a coffee
plantation tomorrow,” Latasha suggested. “I want to see the island from up
high, and you could meet a rich plantation owner.”
Kyra grinned for the first
time since she’d strolled into this boring bar. “Me and a white plantation
owner? I’m not so sure I like the sound of that.”
So why did her thighs clench
under her black-and-gold striped sundress? She’d fantasized about getting
intimate with a white man, but could she actually do it for real? As long as
his money was green, she wasn’t too particular about her dream man’s skin
color. It paid to have an open mind.
Both women focused on the
stage when the band launched into the next song. The reggae beat drifted
through Kyra’s body, washing away the frantic rhythm of her life and replacing
it with something slower, sexier…. She found herself swaying in her seat as if
rocked by an invisible tide.
In addition to the male lead
singer, the band included a guy each on drums, keyboard, and bass guitar. A
teenaged male swished a flag around. No white men there. Each had dreadlocks or
braids of varying lengths.
Wait a minute. The lead singer
had paler skin than the others. He was either mixed race or a white guy with a
tan. He was so slim and lithe as he swayed to the music he appeared pretty
young. Condensation dripped over Kyra’s fingers as she clutched her
glass.
When the lights rotated and
swept the stage, she caught a glimpse of blue. The lead singer had blue eyes.
Come to think of it, his dreadlocks were brown instead of black and not quite
as puffy as the others’ hair.
“I’ll be damned,” she muttered
to herself. “He is white.”
“Huh?” Latasha
asked.
“The lead singer is
white.”
“So?” Her friend shrugged. “I
don’t think there’s any rule against white people playing reggae.”
That’s not the point.
The point is…he’s hot. Damn hot.
He wore a worn, light blue
shirt with the sleeves rolled up. His faded jeans had holes in them and were
one step away from the rag bag. Her gaze continued to his feet, finding a pair
of biblical-style sandals.
Hardly the rich man she was
looking for.

Thanks for posting my cover. The cover model is wearing sweatpants. At first, I preferred some tight jeans, but I like the mystery and I'm too busy looking at his chest anyway!
