Book Blast: A Secret Worth Keeping by LaKisha Johnson Excerpt & Giveaway


BLURB:
Shelby is a career woman turned housewife who enjoys the friendships that have been built with her 5 best friends; Camille, Lynesha, Raylin, Kerri and Chloe. They are all career women with different businesses, husbands and even children but something is missing and they can’t seem to find it at home, in a store or even in a book. So, they search for this missing piece in the beds, arms, cars and even offices of other men who don’t mind paying for what Dem Dam Divas can offer. They enjoy the thrill of sneaking, creeping and even vacationing on someone else’s dime but they soon find out that all good things come to an end. What happens when it becomes too much? From secretly wanting someone who doesn’t want you, loving only to not be loved back and being caught up in a dream that you’re about to be awaken from; will it be worth it in the end? Will they regret their actions or stand by them? Will they finally question whether this secret is really worth keeping?

“That was an amazing dinner guys. Anyone care to join me in the Jacuzzi?” I asked.

“No, I am beat and I’m going to turn in so that I can enjoy sightseeing and shopping on tomorrow,” Shelby said.

“I’m with Shelby;” said Ray and Lyn.

“I’ll pass too,” said Cam.

“Me three,” said Kerri.

“Ok, I won’t be long.  I’ll be up soon,” I said.  I changed into my swimming suit, grabbed a glass of wine and my IPod. “This water feels great,” I said whispering to myself.  Why I was whispering beats me, maybe it’s the wine. Ah hell, may as well get another glass. I got up to refill my glass when I heard a knock on the door that scared me.  “Shit, who could that be?” I said walking to the door.

“Chef Todd?” I said surprisingly.

“I’m sorry to drop by unannounced but I forgot to give you ladies the desert I prepared. I uh, I” he said.

I realized I didn’t have my robe on when I followed his eyes to my barely covered breast.

“Come in, I was just enjoying the peace and quiet since my girls left me up.  I’m Chloe by the way, would you like a glass of wine?”

“No thank you. I really didn’t mean to disturb you; I thought you ladies would still be up.” He said.

“We usually are but they were tired from the driving and we have a long day planned tomorrow; are you sure I can’t interest you in anything to drink?” I asked while grabbing the wine and walking back out to the Jacuzzi. I knew he was watching my ass but I really didn’t mind because my husband rarely did.

“No but I must say you are wearing the hell out of that swimming suit.” He said.

“This old thing!” I said laughing.
