A Season for Seduction
NBA star and oil company heir Keylan “KJ” Kingsley is the ultimate player on and off the court. When a midgame scuffle leads to community service, he opts to devote his hours to his family’s cherished foundation. And once he meets no-nonsense charity executive Mia Ramirez, he’s driven to prove there’s more to him than the wary beauty believes.
Single mother Mia isn’t impressed by KJ’s wealth and fame. Her college sweetheart abandoned her—and their baby—to follow his hoop dreams. But KJ is a caring man beneath his superficial image, making an easy connection with her young son. Soon Mia plunges into a sensual relationship that ignites dreams of forever, until KJ returns to the court...and the headlines. Will the glare of celebrity blind them to the family that could be theirs by Christmas?
Mia was overwhelmed by all the emotions she was experiencing. Desire was one thing that she could handle. This was something else—a feeling of security, trust...family.
Mia felt Keylan’s hand rise from her shoulder and land in her hair, where he removed the clip and placed it on the small table that sat behind the sofa, allowing Mia’s hair to fall free.
“What are you doing?” she whispered, trying not to disturb Colby, who had his eyes closed.
“I prefer it this way. Do you have a problem with that?” he asked, running his fingers through her curls.
“No,” she uttered, looking up into his passion-filled eyes. She raised her chin, offering herself to him, and Keylan didn’t hesitate.
Keylan leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. He cupped Mia’s face with his right hand and the kiss became more passionate. Colby stirred and Keylan dropped his hand and leaned his forehead against hers. Mia whispered, “I thought I was in this alone.”
“Not hardly...”
I hope you enjoyed the first installment in The Kingsleys of Texas series, Always My Baby. It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to the youngest member of the family, Keylan “KJ” Kingsley. Not all the Kingsley heirs accept the destiny set forward by their birth.
They say love and basketball don’t mix. In An Unexpected Holiday Gift, Keylan Kingsley and Mia Ramirez seem to agree. However, their undeniable attraction to each other and the developing bond between Keylan and Mia’s young son tells a very different story.
I love interacting with my readers, so please let me know how you liked Keylan and Mia’s story and look out for what’s in store for the only married Kingsley son. Let’s see if love and marriage can survive secrets and blackmail. You can follow and contact me on Facebook or Twitter, @KennersonBooks.
Peace and love,
Martha
