New York City – Present Day 

All Amara Devereaux-Rodriguez wants is to be accepted as a viable partner in her family’s high-powered company, but her grandfather has continued to block her advancement. Out one night to lick her wounds after another dressing down by her grandfather, Amara runs into a man she immediately recognizes: city councilman Lennox Carlisle, who has repeatedly fought her family’s company development projects. She doesn’t tell him who she is because she is genuinely attracted to him, and he will be a nice diversion. That turns out to be a one-night stand—and a broken condom. 

A few days later, Lennox is refusing to meet with the Devereaux family lawyer about a project. However, they are persistent, and he decides to agree to meet her. Turns out the lawyer is Amara—the lady he knew as Angel from their one night together. The sparks of that night are still there, but he can’t afford to get involved with her as he’s running for mayor. Imagine the whispers there’d be if he were spotted out with a member of a company he’s repeatedly fought with. Amara insists that despite the broken condom, she isn’t pregnant. However, a few days later, his mother tells him about a dream of a grandchild. Her dreams are rarely wrong… 

The timing was all wrong, yet it was a perfect storm for Amara and Lennox to meet each other in ONE NIGHT EXPECTATIONS. She has worked hard to meet her grandfather’s expectations, but he continually criticizes her efforts. What can she do to make him approve of her? How about meeting Lennox and discussing their company’s plans with him? Meeting him that night in the bar was a fluke, yet it led to a night neither could forget. Lennox couldn’t stop thinking about his “Angel,” while Amara wondered how he would react realizing they were rivals? The sexual chemistry is strong between them, but he has big political ambitions. He can’t let lust get in the way of what he wants to achieve. For Amara, she wants to reach the pinnacle of success in the company and receive her grandfather’s approval. Will dating Lennox destroy those ambitions? 

As readers can likely figure out, there is a little future bundle of joy coming Lennox and Amara’s way in ONE NIGHT EXPECTATIONS. How will they handle it? She wants love but he is more focused on his campaign. How can they mesh all that they want for a future together? Discover the sizzling answer in this enjoyable tale.
