Forgive him his trespasses.

Charmeine Baker has sidestepped Andrew Knight for years. He’s persistent, irresistibly handsome, and makes her pulse race with excitement. She resists him because although he’s “a catch”, Andrew also represents the kind of wealth, power, and privilege she despises.

Successful nightclub owner Andrew Knight has known Charmeine since the day she was born. Now the pastor’s daughter is all grown up and he is certain she’s meant to be his. Only Charmeine keeps giving him the brush off despite their undeniable chemistry.

Andrew knows Charmeine has doubts about him, but he’ll do anything to have her, including pressuring her to marry him in exchange for saving her parent’s church from being bulldozed. Blackmail might be a sin, but Andrew will have to atone for his transgressions later.

Ever the dutiful daughter, Charmeine sacrifices herself and reluctantly agrees to marry Andrew. Can she survive at the mercy of the man who captured her heart against her will?

EXCERPT
Charmeine stiffened beneath him. Andrew held her tighter, not wanting the moment to end, although he believed it already had. He was hesitant to believe she wouldn’t want to spend more time with him. That all she wanted from him was a quick birthday romp. Or maybe it was just his ego in denial.
When she shoved at him, his worst fears were realized. His stomach knotted seeing the pained expression on her beautiful face.
Andrew regretfully moved aside, allowing her to get up. She quickly fastened her bra and desperately glanced around the room. “Where are my underwear? I need to leave. This should never have happened. It was a mistake. I don’t know what I was thinking.” Charmeine’s eyes glistened with unshed tears.
Leaning back against the couch cushion, he watched in despair as Charmeine, sans her panties, dressed, preparing to leave immediately after having sex with him.
“Of course it should have. It should have happened years ago, Harmony. It was not a mistake. Not even close.” He’d made his feelings for her clear since she’d turned eighteen. Charmeine had denied him at every turn, both frustrating and disappointing him.
Charmeine turned away from him, facing the front of his desk, glancing up at the cross hanging on the wall. It was decorated with multicolored gemstones, imbedded with a miniature Holy Bible, and small vials of holy water and earth from the Holy Land. Andrew and Simon hung one in each of their club offices.
She sniffled and shook her head. “No, Andrew. We’re too different. Regardless of how I might feel about you, I can’t abide by your love of power, privilege, and money. It’s the root of all kinds of evil. I should have left well enough alone.”
Andrew bolted off the couch. He discarded the condom and turned Charmeine to face him. His heart shattered at the sight of her tear stained face, but she was wrong about him.
“I don’t love power and money, Harmony. I don’t serve two masters. Working hard, becoming successful isn’t a sin. Even Proverbs says, commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. The clubs provide good paying jobs and a safe, comfortable place for people to enjoy themselves.” Andrew believed he was blessed in all of his work, as were all of the faithful. He was stunned and hurt that she thought so little of him. Had she always felt this way about him?
Charmeine pulled away, fresh tears streaming down her cheeks. “Maybe you’re right, but I just can’t, Andrew. If I hurt you, I’m sorry. That wasn’t my intention.” She unlocked his office door and left without another word, leaving him alone and brokenhearted.

GOODREADS

BLURB
From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author comes the next book in the Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team.

Trust Laramie Briscoe to provide engaging characters in a well-built world I want to revisit again and again. Carly Phillips, NY Times bestselling author.

Sometimes home finds us when we aren’t looking…

Devante Soles
Laurel Springs was nothing more than a dot on the map when I decided I needed a change from the fast pace of Atlanta.

I’m more surprised than anyone else when I look around one day and realize I have friends who have become family, a city that’s become a home, and a girl who decided to make me believe in love.

Unlike me, her past follows her here.

A community that I once never thought I’d have, comes together with me to save her.

Eden Murphy
Chicago wasn’t for me. The bright lights, the embezzling, the gun shots. I never felt safe there. Little Laurel Springs though? It’s everything I hoped it would be and more.

My coffee shop, A Whole Latte Love, isn’t doing well, but I’m close to turning a profit.

And Devante? Well he’s more than I ever could have asked for.

But Mario? He’s the one I didn’t count on coming back and demanding what I stole…

This is the sixth book in this series. They are better read in order. Devante and Eden are both fairly new to Laurel Springs. Devante is a paramedic and Eden owns a coffee shop. They have been getting to know each other. Both feeling like its leading to more. Then Devante finds Eden on the floor of her coffee shop unconscious. Devante is by her side the whole time. Once she is better, he won’t waste anymore time. But Eden has a secret. Someone is coming after her because of something she took.  Will Eden trust Devante enough to tell him what she did and who could be coming for her or will she keep her secret? Keeping her secret could cost her the ultimate price. This book is a slow burn romance. Eden and Devante were both weary about the possibility of racism when they moved to Laurel Springs. But instead, they found a group of friends who are more like family. Both Eden and Devante are wonderful characters. I love the characters in this book. They pull me in and make me wish I could be friends with them and live in Laurel Springs. Laramie does a fantastic job of creating this world and these characters. I look forward to more books by her. Great job another book Laramie.
