Rhythm of their hearts
Slick lines and sweet nothings have zero effect on ambitious real estate developer Julie Dominick. Her love rules have thankfully saved her from dealing with messy relationship complications. But since R & B superstar Dante Wilson hired her to open his new Malibu nightclub, he’s determined to add some pleasure to their business dealings. And Julie’s strategy to protect her heart may not stand up to his seductive appeal.
Growing up in a music dynasty, Dante enjoys all the female attention that comes with his fame. For the first time, he knows what it feels like to be brushed off by someone he’s falling for. When his usual moves fall flat, he has to show Julie the real man behind all the glitz and glamour. Will it be enough to convince Julie that it’s better to break the rules rather than risk losing love’s passionate melody?
She slid her foot back to step away. His hand shot out and latched on to her waist. Dante closed the scant distance between them and pressed his solid body against hers.
“Don’t stand so close if you don’t want to get caught.”
Desire coated every nuance of his voice. The air around them shifted, crackling and sparking with the anger, annoyance and attraction simmering between them. The line between anger and desire was thin, and when his long fingers flexed against her waist, the line snapped. He infuriated her. The audacity of him paying for the meal, declaring himself competition, insisting that being zapped by the electric current between them was inevitable. Yet she couldn’t listen to the faint voice in her mind that said to pull away. Sucking in a breath, she didn’t smell cologne; instead, the clean smell of masculine soap and the intoxicating heat of his body made her mouth water.
“Now that I’ve got you,” he said, his tenor lowering to a seductive bass, “what are you going to do?”
If you have young kids you probably spend a lot of your television time watching cartoons and kids’ shows (it can’t be just me). Little did I know that a guest appearance by a group called Nuttin’ But Stringz on my kid’s favorite show would not only inspire me to create a Pandora station, but later a book. Dante Wilson is the hero in A Malibu Kind of Romance and an R & B superstar. He’s been in the music industry since he was thirteen, and now he wants to try something new. I knew immediately the music he wanted to play would be similar to the music of Nuttin’ But Stringz, who play a blend of classical, hip-hop, jazz and R & B.
While you’re reading A Malibu Kind of Romance, if you have a hard time “hearing” the music, check out the group. Maybe you’ll get a little inspiration, too.

Synithia Williams
SYNITHIA WILLIAMS has been an avid romance novel lover since picking up her first at the age of thirteen. It was only natural that she would begin penning her own romances soon after—much to the chagrin of her high school math teachers. She’s a native of South Carolina and now writes romances as hot as their southern settings. Outside of writing, she works on water quality and sustainability issues for local government. She’s married to her own personal hero, and they have two sons, who’ve convinced her that professional wrestling and superheroes are supreme entertainment. When she isn’t working, writing or being a wife and mother, she’s usually bingeing on TV series, playing around on social media or planning her next girls’ night out with friends.
