By Tamar Bryce

A BWWM Interracial Romance ... For readers who love Interracial and Multicultural Romance... 

Janessa is at the end of her rope. She's been with the same guy for three years, but all he seems to do is treat her badly and cheat on her. Not to mention the fact that he's in the mafia. After years of putting up with his unfaithfulness and lying, she decides she's had enough and calls it quits. 

Working as a nurse, she meets the sexy, funny Clyde. She finds an instant attraction there and when he asks her out on a date, she doesn't hesitate to say yes. Before she knows it, she's in a whirlwind romance and happier than she's ever been in years. 

There's only one problem: Clyde isn't exactly who he says he is. Mix that in with Tony, her jealous, possessive ex-boyfriend and it makes for a world of drama, lies and heartache. 

Will Janessa be able to sort things out before they explode? Or is she going to lose it all when secrets are revealed? 

Note: This book contains spicy love scenes and colorful language. A sweet & sexy full stand alone story, with no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after!

One

Janessa parked her car in the carport before she leaned her head on the steering wheel. She’d been at work for sixteen hours. Her feet hurt, her back ached, and her head was throbbing.

She’d known before she started that nursing wouldn’t be easy, but she never imagined it would be so hard. Just today she’d taken care of two screamers, a nudist and an old guy that kept trying to feel her up every time she took his vitals.

She slipped out of the car and hoisted her purse onto her shoulder. The bathtub was calling to her. She could already imagine sinking beneath the water and sipping a glass of wine.

Janessa rode the elevator up and examined her scrubs. They were horrendous. She couldn’t wait to peel them off and do some laundry. Tomorrow would be another busy day, but she needed the money. After all, she was the only one working at the moment.

She fished out her keys at the door and stepped into the apartment. Janessa froze. There were clothes strewn all over the living room, dishes piled in the kitchen sink, the bathroom was covered in hair. Janessa groaned in disgust.

Of course she couldn’t just have a relaxing night. On the balcony, Antonio was with his friends smoking cigars and playing poker. She supposed she should be grateful that he was at least smoking outside.

Hey, baby! He called when he spotted her. How was work?

Fine, she said from between clenched teeth. Can I talk to you for a minute?

A resounding oooh, left his friends mouths. Antonio looked at his cards a moment longer. She knew he was just doing it to defy her, he couldn’t afford to look weak in front of this particular crowd.

Give me a minute.

Antonio, please. I’m exhausted, and my feet hurt.

I’m coming, he said finally putting his cards down. I think game time’s over. When the guys groaned, he held up his hands. My woman’s tired, what do you want me to do?

She shouldn’t even be working, Marco said with a raised eyebrow.

Are you saying I don’t take care of my girl?

Marco, Tony, stop it, Janessa said firmly. "I want to work. And I’ll keep working. Why don’t you all go home?"

They said their goodnights as they walked out of the door. Janessa sighed. She’d had her brown curls pinned into a tight bun, but now she let them loose. Tight curls bounced and brushed her shoulders faintly.

Janessa had grown to love the way she looked as she got older. Her dark brown skin, wide hips, and big smile were a reflection that she’d grown proud of. The only thing she wished was that she still had time to go to the spa. Once upon a time, she’d been there at least once a week, but now she didn’t have the time.

Once everyone was gone, she perched her hands on her hips. Tony took his time coming in. She knew he was trying his best to delay the inevitable.

What’s up babe?

Don’t ‘what’s up babe’ me! How is this place so destroyed? I spent all night busting my ass to make sure you had a clean place to live in.

I know, I know, Tony said. It wasn’t my fault. You know those guys, they’re animals.

Janessa rolled her eyes. Whatever. Can you at least help me clean up?

Isn’t that a woman’s job?

Janessa narrowed her eyes dangerously until he laughed. I’m joking! Calm down. Come give me a kiss.

Tony kissed her, his tongue sneaking into her mouth. She shoved him away when he started pawing at her.

Knock it off! I’m exhausted.

Jesus, we don’t even have sex anymore. He mumbled as he started picking up his clothes.

Maybe we’d have sex if you actually helped out around here.

I try to help out, he protested. I make more than enough money for you to quit that stupid job of yours and stay home. It’s not like I haven’t already asked you to marry me.

Janessa scoffed. Yeah, that was so romantic the way you proposed when you thought I was knocked up. Tony, you know I don’t want to get married until you quit your, she thought about how to word it. Your ‘job’.

Tony shrugged. I was born into the organization, and I’ll die in it too. You can’t change that.

She glared. If that’s the way you feel, maybe I should just leave then.

Tony grabbed her arm before she could go. "Come on. You know I don’t know
