About this ebook
When Catrina Jackson ducked into her hotel’s jazz bar, all she wanted was a chance to unwind after a long drive and a drink to soothe the disappointment of being stood up by the friend she’d come to see. She figured the massive diamond wedding set on her finger would deter any would be attractors. She was wrong. When also married hunky Darius Cornelio suggested they sit together to avoid unwanted attention, she thought it was a great idea.
His presence protected her from other men in the bar, but who was going to protect her from him?
Illicit Attraction is a contemporary fantasy romance featuring a big, beautiful and black heroine and a Italian-American hero. The love scenes are spicy.

Dedication
To my sister and brother-in-law, Wanda and Doyle, who are proof positive that if you work at it, you can have a happy, passionate marriage that lasts years.
Chapter One
Catrina sat on the backless, oversized, and padded barstool at the hotel bar, sipping a wine spritzer. Behind her a steady flow of traffic strolled into the steak restaurant next door, even though it was about nine in the evening, a little late to be eating, no matter how delicious the food. Those not going into the restaurant, headed for the Registration desk, checking in for the night.
She’d been in the bar for about an hour, enjoying the smooth jazz trio playing in the lounge around the corner to the right, as they performed one instrumental after another. They were one of the best jazz groups she’d heard in a while. The hotel lounge was starting to fill, even though it was still early for a Friday night, and while the band was excellent, she doubted the crowd would grow much larger.
The mellow music had worked wonders, and she’d finally begun to relax. The mouthwatering New York Strip she’d consumed earlier followed by a slice of heavenly key lime pie hadn’t hurt, either. While being stood up had disappointed her, the shower, meal, wine, and music had combined to alleviate the stress of the heavy weekend traffic she’d driven in to get here.
Cat had noticed the bar and the sign announcing tonight’s performers when she walked through the hotel lobby two hours earlier to check in. After eating her quiet, solitary meal, she’d decided it was too early to return to her room for the night. The bar cum lounge had seemed like the perfect solution. She’d have a drink or two and enjoy the music before returning to her room to settle down for a good night’s sleep. She’d been doing just that when she found her peace interrupted.
A large male body, smelling of Brut—her favorite—crowded into her personal space as he squeezed into the narrow alley between her stool and the one next to it. A deep, commanding voice spoke. A rum and coke on the rocks—light on the rum—and give the lady here another one of whatever she’s drinking.
Cat sighed and held up her left hand, displaying the two-and-a-half-carat diamond and gold wedding band set she wore. This was the fifth time this night, at least. Why did men assume a woman alone was easy prey? She’d come in here in hopes of some down time, not to be approached by every Tom, Dick, and Harry wanting to test their skills as a Player. After the second wanna-be, she’d discovered the hard way that looking at or talking to the men only seemed to encourage them, so she didn’t even bother glancing at this newest, unwelcome disturbance to her hard earned tranquility.
She flinched when a masculine hand entered her field of vision, mere inches from her face,
