Falling for Sharde

Jefferson Calder is not only Sharde Donovan’s boss and one of her best friends, he is also the man that she has loved for the past nine years. But Jeff has never seen her as more than a friend and co-worker. A long weekend trip is the perfect time for Sharde to show Jeff all that they can be to one another. Shocked that he only wants a weekend affair, she nonetheless takes him up on his offer. Jeff’s pursuit after their return to work surprises Sharde, but she needs more than he is willing to offer. When it becomes impossible to continue working for Jeff, Sharde resigns to pursue other interests. Another man enters Sharde’s life but Jeff is never far from Sharde’s heart or thoughts.

Having been burned by love, Jeff Calder is reluctant to give his heart to another woman. A weekend tryst with Sharde is just what he needs – a little uncomplicated sex. But sex with Sharde is not as uncomplicated as he thought it would be; Jeff wants more than sex from Sharde. As Sharde begins to pull away from him, Jeff is forced to take a long hard look at their relationship. Would he really be risking so much if he were to commit to Sharde? Or would he be getting everything he has been looking for?

Marilyn Lee is an author that just gets better and better! Sharde and Jeff are amazing characters that will touch your heart. Not only does she create a wonderful couple that struggles to find balance and build a lasting relationship, Ms. Lee shows just how steamy their relationship can be. I enjoyed that Sharde and Jeff were complex personalities that find love is not an easy game to win.
