Passionate Premiere. Deborah Fletcher Mello
On-screen or off—it doesn’t get hotter than this!
It took grit and determination to climb her way to the top of male-dominated Hollywood. Now, with three Oscars under her belt, Dahlia Morrow is banking everything on her next film. She doesn’t need some bad-boy actor cramping her style. Especially when Guy Boudreaux starts putting the moves on her, tempting the hardworking producer to mix pleasure with business.
With an impressive list of blockbusters under his belt, Guy is looking for something more than another ticket to stardom. He’s heard the rumors about the trail of broken hearts the ambitious diva has left behind. Once he’s tasted Dahlia’s passion, he vows to be her one and only. Yet when they are tested by jealousy, betrayal and a secret that binds the powerful Boudreaux and Stallion families, will Guy be able to prove to Dahlia that she’s the only leading lady for him?
“Is something wrong?”
she questioned,
concern washing over her face.
“No,” Guy replied as he suddenly slipped both his arms around her waist and torso and pulled her tightly to him.
The gesture knocked the wind from Dahlia’s lungs as she felt her body melding easily against his. She clutched the front of Guy’s T-shirt, her eyes lifted to his. His stare was intoxicating and Dahlia could feel herself slipping into the depths of his gaze, losing every ounce of her sensibilities in a wealth of longing. She suddenly felt as if a part of her soul was sliding home. The connection was so strong, so intense that she gasped loudly, the shock of the moment making it difficult for her to breathe.
Without giving it a second thought Dahlia wrapped her arms around Guy’s neck. His mouth was only a fraction of an inch from hers, and in a swift, delicate motion Guy suddenly kissed her, capturing her mouth with determination as he pressed his closed lips against her closed lips. His touch was velvet, soft and gentle, the sweetest caress of skin against skin, and Dahlia instinctively knew that no other man could ever kiss her like that.

Dear Reader,
Welcome to the Boudreaux family out of New Orleans! Much like my beloved Stallion family, I am just head over heels for the Boudreauxs. And I’m hoping you’ll come to love them as much as I do.
The family is headed by parents Senior and Katherine Boudreaux and there are nine siblings in all: Mason, Maitlyn, Donovan, Katrina, Darryl, Kendrick, Kamaya, Guy and Tarah. What I love about this family is that they are just plain “folk,” a family bonded by much love. Each has achieved varying levels of success and wealth in their lives. There’s the business tycoon, the agent, the judge, the engineer, the entrepreneur, the free spirit, the actor and the student. What is constant between them all is that they are grounded in their faith and their love for God and family. With the Boudreaux there will be some drama, much drama and drama to the nth degree. And, of course, you can always expect a Stallion or two to drop by when you least expect. The doors are open for much to come and I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am!
As always, I appreciate the love and support that you continue to show me. I love to hear what you think so please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
Until the next time, take care and God bless.
With much love,
Deborah Fletcher Mello
To Donna and Doris
and great new friendships.
May you both be surrounded by an abundance of love,
now and always.
