A very intimate seduction
Chicago fashionista Winter Dupree is ready to take the exclusive lingerie boutique she started with her sisters to the next level. Plans are in place to unveil Bare Sophistication’s racy new line during the city’s high-profile winter Fashion Week. Then Winter discovers who she’ll be sharing the spotlight with for this glittering event—gorgeous, arrogant bachelor Taheim Reed, her once blind date from hell!
The masquerade gala is the ideal affair for the brilliant marketing tycoon to debut his men’s nightwear line. But Taheim’s off-the-charts attraction to his cohost—the free-spirited beauty he vowed never to date again—could open him up to heartbreak. His emotional walls have been sky-high since a devastating past betrayal taught him to be wary. Until one kiss from Winter reopens the floodgates of his passion... Now there’s no turning back, even as a seductive schemer jeopardizes their second chance at forever.
He leaned forward and the movement caught her off guard. “If all goes well on this date, I’m hoping it ends in an intimate nightcap.” His eyes dropped to her lips again, but this time, he didn’t hide the heat behind his gaze.
Did he just suggest what I think he suggested?
She didn’t know whether to curse him out or kiss him senseless. The way he quirked his mouth to the side in a smile made her want to see what he had behind his smize. On the other hand, the fact that she immediately had naughty thoughts about a mouth that belonged to a guy who didn’t care enough about the date to be on time—and then had the nerve to look sexy as hell—made her want to give him a tongue-lashing and not the toe-curling kind. So she opted for the latter.
“You have some nerve,” she said as she leaned closer to him. “First, you show up almost an hour late. Then we barely hold a conversation and when we do speak, it’s about things we already know about one another. Next, you suggest that we have an intimate nightcap when you’ve barely put in any work to get me into your bed.”
I’d like to introduce you to the Dupree sisters, owners of Bare Sophistication lingerie boutique and the cousins of my Elite Events series heroes—Micah Madden (Red Velvet Kisses) and Malik Madden (Beautiful Surrender). Enticing Winter also features Taheim Reed who was introduced in my debut Mills & Boon Kimani Romance novel, A Tempting Proposal.
I knew the minute Winter and her sisters opened their Chicago boutique, the gorgeous free spirit would be the perfect match for Taheim. Both characters may appear to be total opposites, but as you will learn, they have more in common than they think.
Autumn’s story is next and I can’t wait for you to see what’s in store for her! She lives her life in facts, not fiction. However, this realist may soon meet her match.
Much love,
Sherelle

To my aunts and uncles who have constantly supported me in all my endeavors. I honestly cannot thank each of you enough for all your encouragement and guidance. There is nothing in the world greater than knowing I can depend on my family for any and everything.
I love you all...from the bottom of my heart!
To my cousin Daniel “Danny” for inspiring the character of Taheim Reed. You’re so ambitious and I love your determination. Not only are you always making everyone around you laugh, but I love the fact that you are so family oriented. It’s so important to have people in your life that you can count on and you are definitely one of those people for me. Your charismatic spirit and fun-loving personality are what often draw people to you. But you’re also private and quiet, always surprising those who may not know you with the way you view a situation or circumstance. It’s in those moments that others get to see another side of you, the man that keeps others guessing and loves with his whole heart.
