So Not a White Knight

It’s past time for Essie to break out of the box, to rebel, to live the life she wants


and not what everyone else wants for her. Working as a chemical engineer for her


family’s oil company isn’t what anyone would call exciting. It pays the bills. But


she wants more, in every part of her life. She’s dated men mainly interested in her


family. Decent men. Boring men. Except for one man she lived with several years


back, until he became more infatuated with his business than with her. She left


him, and he barely seemed to notice. She’s come to the conclusion she needs a


makeover, something to make a man take enough notice of her that all else will


pale in comparison. No more blending in, being the wallflower of the world. She’s


certain an inner wild woman lies buried within her, and she’s ready to set it free.


Next step, have at least one “hot” night with a “sexy beast.” Bring him on,


Madame Evangeline.


It took a while for the truth to slap him in the face, but Trevon sees now that he


was an idiot. He got lost in building his Houston architectural firm into one of the


most respected firms in the country. He’s played all of the social games, belonged


to the right clubs, knows the important people, lived and breathed reaching his


goal. But he failed to see the true worth of the woman he allowed to walk away.


Essie deserved more than what he gave her. In a unique twist of fate with a


matchmaking service, he gets a second chance to prove his worth to her. He


damn sure better not screw this up.
