Just when things seemed to be settling down for Carrie King, it spiraled out of control. At almost 30 years old, Carrie had almost everything she could ever want, including a thriving career as a VP of a well-known corporation. Love was the last thing on her mind until Aaron's Waters showed up from New York. Although Aaron would only be in town for a few months for a special project, Carrie couldn't deny the chemistry between them. She also knew it wasn't a good idea to fall for a colleague, especially when her ex, Spencer, just started reaching out to her. Unsure of where her feelings lie Carrie is more confused now then ever, but what she didn't realize that this was just the beginning of a twisted romance.

Each week, I'll share a free chapter from one of my romantic fiction novels featuring Black men and women. This week, I'm sharing a chapter from Beach Thing, my ode to summer and a #BeachyBlackRomance. Pick up this title in ebook, print or audio directly from me or from your favorite retailer: http://geni.us/Beach_Thing About this book: Wade Marshall, super producer to one of hip hop's brightest stars, was supposed to spend the summer on Black Diamond getting away from the rush of Brooklyn, ridding himself of the distractions that had been impacting his work so he can do what he does best - make beats. But the day he meets Ameenah, he becomes consumed by an entirely different and more attractive distraction--his bold, beautiful, sexy neighbor with the "glorious hips" and a penchant for ice cream. Ameenah Porter, daughter of successful New York restaurateurs, moves to the beach town of Black Diamond to fulfill her dream of opening a smoothie shop. She doesn't need the distraction of a new man but the tall, dark and handsome Wade, who's staying in the giant sized home at the end of her block, is irresistible. Ameenah's days at Tikis & Cream are spent cooling off her customers with her gourmet smoothie blends. Her nights on the shores of Black Diamond Bay are enchanting and romantic, and soon Wade and Ameenah find themselves in the middle of a Beach Thing... a fun, meaningless tryst that will end when the summer is over. Or will it? Wade is returning to Brooklyn at the end of the summer. Ameenah lives on Black Diamond. Neither want this Beach Thing to end... so is this fling really a fling or is it the beginning of something real... and will they realize it in time? Indulge in a fun, steamy #beachyblackromance and join me on Black Diamond.
