Summary
When Drake started the night at his father’s
campaign fundraiser, he never imagined he’d end it being conned into buying
drugs on the West Side. Losing high-stakes poker has its consequences, but he’d
repeatedly face them just to hear Lacey Douglas sing. Drake sees Lacey light up
the stage, and he has to have her. But his intentions for being on her side of
town turn out to be the reason he can’t.
Chicago native Lacey has dreams of the opera, but life has its obstacles. Lacey has come to know her hardships as part of living in the real world and accepts them fully. When Lacey meets the intense and invigorating Drake, a fire is lit inside her, unleashing those dreams again.
Two paths that should have never crossed prove to create the exact pairing the other needs. But when their worlds take time to catch up, everything they have is tested. Finding the space between the two sides that challenge them will be hard, but it’s the only place that will keep them together.

Excerpt
Drake.
Lacey called out my name as I pushed
into her. I claimed her. Possessed her. Her body was smooth; hot, everywhere I
touched her. And I touched her everywhere.
Drake.
She moaned when I touched her there.
She really liked being touched there. I’d have to remember that for the future.
Drake, wake up.
Wake up? My eyes shot open. Lacey’s
chocolate-brown eyes stared right at me.
In
a panic, I grabbed my sheet and rolled off the opposite end of the bed. Wrapped
up in the bedding, I hit the floor.
She
gasped from above. “Drake? Drake!” she whispered her call, shimmying my bed
with her movements. “Oh my God. Are you okay?”
She
didn’t appear above me yet, so I held up my hand so she wouldn’t. “Lacey, don’t
look down here.”
The
movement on my bed stopped. “Why?”
“Because
I am naked.”
“What?”
she squeaked.
“I’m
naked, Lacey. Can you please hand me my jeans beside my bed?”
“Oh
my God, Drake. I’m so sorry. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have come in here. Oh, I’m
so sorry.”
My
lips tight, I nodded once against the hardwood floor. “I’ll wait.”
“Oh,
right. I’m so sorry.”
Shimmying
sounded from above, then my jeans fell from the air and hit my head. I managed
to get myself untangled from the bedding, and got the faded-washed pair on.
“Are
you still naked?”
Chuckling,
I pushed myself off the floor.
