Chapter 1

The city was quiet at the crack of dawn. The suburbs were relatively normal with just the flicker of the orange sun over the trees. Children were rousing from their slumber waking to a new day. Los Angeles was a bustle of activity but this one moment of solitude was something many didn’t have.

Tanya considered herself one of the lucky ones. Emily was her only child, perfect in her eyes but sometimes she could get on her last nerve. The constant demand of motherhood wasn’t uncommon but she was trying to juggle a career and a life at home at the same time. It wasn’t easy doing it alone, frazzled and hanging by a thread of her sanity but somehow, she persevered.

She was standing mesmerized by the laundry in the basement of her apartment building. It was spinning hypnotically. She didn’t put herself out there afraid of what most men wanted and how far they were willing to go to get it.

Being invisible had its advantages and she tried to stay below the radar in a job that had her working her fingers to the bone. It meant sacrifice and sometimes her daughter fell through the cracks despite her best efforts. She was 8-years-old with an opinion about everything.

Dressed casually in a tight pair of jeans and baggy dark sweater didn’t exactly flatter her figure. Her hair was up in curlers but she was relatively sure her quiet paradise would not be disturbed. What she wasn’t expecting was a male voice clearing his throat.

Her diminutive stature and beguiling green eyes caught him off guard. He was hovering over her with the scent of her perfume heavy in the air. It was sweet and high intoxicating. It was making him light-headed and dizzy. It wasn’t what he was expecting.

Tanya was subtle about the way she roamed her eyes up and down his masculine form. She loved tall men and he was quite compelling in the way he looked at her. She couldn’t stop thinking about how it had been too long since she had been satisfied beyond words. Her skin became clammy and her pulse raced a little bit faster. The white t-shirt was bulging with his muscles threatening to tear through the fabric with the slightest movement.
