Romulus St. Claire operates under the guise that he’ll never marry. In the back of his mind, he knows it’s a lie. He would marry if the woman was special enough—someone like his best friend, Siderra Monroe. He’s in no hurry to make her his. He’s still in limbo with his feelings, and he doesn’t believe he’s ready for a woman like her, even though he has a feeling she’s in love with him.

I’ve never known love like this. It’s potent. Life-changing. It changed mine and now I can’t live without her. The problem is, I don’t necessarily get along with her family–not because I don’t like them. It’s the other way around. She brushes it off, but I’m against anything and anyone who threatens my relationship. My marriage. My happiness. My obsession.

At thirty-seven years of age, I haven’t taken the plunge, nor do I plan to. I’ve seen the damage love can do. It pretends to care, but then it tears a person down. It’s manipulative. Damaging. It lies. It hurts. It makes one weak. I know that all too well after seeing what it did to my dear mother. That’s why when women – beautiful, successful women – try to get my attention, I easily shun them. All of them. They see the exceptionally fine, black man with money. They know nothing of the dark secrets I carry – secrets I can never share with anyone.
