The Barrington Brothers are here! Meet Blake...
Trust doesn’t come easily to senator’s daughter Cadence Payne—especially after her disastrous engagement. Dating is no longer at the top of her to-do list, no matter how persistent fellow attorney Blake Barrington may be. Yet the sexy, notorious lawyer makes a very convincing argument. Cadence is almost tempted to give in...until Blake’s implicated in a scandal and hires her to defend him!
Little by little, Blake is getting past Cadence’s defenses and giving a whole new meaning to attorney-client privilege. But days and nights spent in close proximity prove dangerously distracting. If Blake loses this case, his career, Cadence’s reputation and their romance will all be in jeopardy. Can he convince her to believe in him despite her fears—or is he gambling with his future and her heart?
Even if she wanted him, which he knew she did, it was too soon for the likes of Cadence.
He would play her way. She was worth it.
Neither of them spoke at first. Facing each other, they held hands.
When Blake could no longer stand being that close to her without touching her, he pulled her face to his and kissed her. Then he placed his hand in the small of her back and pressed her body against his. Their tongues danced at a slow, warm tempo. As if a fire had been lit under them, the heat intensified and the pace of their kiss increased until the rhythm they created pounded in his chest. His hands roamed her body. She purred. Cadence’s hands found their way to the back of his head and pulled him in. Time passed. When they finally forced their lips apart, they were gasping. Collapsing into each other, they held on until their heartbeats returned to a manageable rhythm.
If last night’s kiss was explosive, then tonight’s kiss was reminiscent of a nuclear blast.
I’m excited to share my debut novel, Her Chance at Love, with you. As a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, I adore stories that remind us that love is still very much alive. On this journey, you’ll meet the first of the three sexy, accomplished Barrington Brothers.
Cadence Payne, like many of us, declared that she was done with men for a while. Then Blake Barrington came along and jolted her dormant sense of desire to life. Besides being a gorgeous lawyer, Blake has a tendency to push the envelope in sexy and daring ways—like when he took Cadence to the sensually enticing restaurant Sex on the Table on their first date!
Cadence isn’t sure if she should completely let go and trust this man with her heart—especially after a scandal breaks and he’s right in the middle of it.
Find out how Blake intends to win Cadence over and prove both his innocence and his love. I hope you are truly intrigued!
Happy reading!

This book is dedicated to my shero, Eva Daniel,
who is now cooking with the angels.
A few years ago, I attended my very first RT Booklovers Convention and was determined to return one day as a romance author on the other side of that signing table. By the time I left my hotel, story ideas for handsome heroes and spirited heroines were pouring into my soul. It was as if a portal had opened up! My author-girlfriend Zuri Day gave me an amazing boost of confidence, and when she told me, “You can certainly do this!” I then took my ideas, the gift that God had blessed me with, and my laptop and started writing.
In 2014, I returned to RT Booklovers Convention armed with proposals, trained pitches and juicy tidbits about the stories that flowed through me. You could only faintly—very faintly—imagine my absolute delight when Glenda Howard suggested that I email her my proposal and the first three chapters of my story. Now I’m here...writing acknowledgments for my very first romance novel.
There’s a long list of folks that I want to thank for being instrumental in this journey, starting with God. Father, I give You ALL the glory! Zuri Day, you sassy Caribbean Queen, thank you for your vote of confidence. Glenda Howard, thank you for taking a chance on a girl from Queens with big dreams. Brenda Jackson, thank you for your friendship and for imparting so much wisdom on me during our lively lunches! Tony Dunlop ESQ, thanks for helping me keep the legal aspects of this story authentic. Donna Hill, my friend, my romance idol, thank you for taking the time to read my baby and for giving it your stamp of approval. To Harlequin’s entire Kimani Romance team, thank you for your role in bringing Her Chance at Love to life. To the love of my life, Les, and my entire family, thank you for sharing me with my passion and believing that I can accomplish any crazy thing I set out to do. To the book clubs and readers, thank you for embracing me!
To everyone, as my bestie, Renee Daniel Flagler, would say, “Always #DreamEnormously!”
Ciao darlings!
Your friend,
Nicki
