“Actually,” Donovan said, locking his gaze with Sam, “she’s my girlfriend.”
Kora slid her hand up the back of his shirt, causing him to suck in a breath and look over at her. She was smiling, and he suddenly wanted to spend the rest of his life making her look just like that.
“You hungry?” he asked her softly, pretending that there weren’t half a dozen sets of eyes glued on them at the moment.
“I am,” she confirmed.
“Then let me take you to dinner.” He looked back at Sam. “It was great to see you and congrats on the little one. I know y’all will be incredibly happy together.”
Sam glared at him, and Donovan couldn’t help but feel a little vindication on Kora’s behalf. What these two had done to her was shitty, and it didn’t even matter to him that Sam was his brother. This woman deserved a hell of a lot better than anyone in this room had shown her.
He fully intended to make sure they knew that from here on out.
And he planned to start by asking Kora to move to New York with him.
After dinner.
And maybe after dessert, which he fully intended to have in bed. Her bed.
The End

Acknowledgments
I have to thank my family first, for putting up with my craziness. From my sudden outbursts when I think of something that needs to be added or when I question why one of the characters did what they did, to the strange hours that I keep and the days on end when I’m MIA because I’m under deadline or just engrossed in a story… Y’all are incredibly tolerant of me and for that, I am forever grateful. I love you with all that I am.
My street team – The Naughty & Nice Posse. Ladies, your daily pimping and support fills my heart with so much love. You are a blessing to me, each and every one of you.
My beta readers, Chancy and Denise. Ladies, I’m not sure thanks will ever be enough. However, not only are you the ones who catch the weird things and ask the bigger questions, you’ve both become my friends and you keep me going.
My copyeditor, Amy. Punctuation and grammar… well, that’s not my strong suit. But it is yours and you are truly remarkable at what you do. You simply amaze me and I am so glad that I found you.
Nicole Nation 2.0 for the constant support and love. This group of ladies has kept me going for so long, I’m not sure I’d know what to do without them.
And, of course, YOU, the reader. Your emails, messages, posts, comments, tweets… they mean more to me than you can imagine. I thrive on hearing from you, knowing that my characters and my stories have touched you in some way keeps me going. I’ve been known to shed a tear or two when reading an email because you simply bring so much joy to my life with your support. I thank you for that.
