      “For once, would you not be so stubborn?” Chase asked.

      “Stubborn? Perhaps that’s because you always want things your way,” Laura answered.

      Chase pulled on his earlobe, a sure sign that he was getting irritated. Good, she thought, because his cologne was driving her crazy. The familiar scent made Laura remember how it had been between the two of them. And now she couldn’t stop thinking about how it had been to kiss him.

      Maybe that’s why she turned her head. She later told herself she had turned to let him know just whom he was dealing with eye to eye.

      “We’re not buddies, Chase. Don’t think that this is a beginning for us. There’s no happy-ever-after, no riding off into the sunset and no romantic reunion here,” Laura said.

      She’d wanted to say more. She’d had more to say about her hurt and disappointment, but then she made the mistake of looking at his lips….

      Dear Reader,

      Welcome to the Masterson family, four close-knit siblings that made it through life’s ups and downs without their parents. Each family member has a story to tell. We met the eldest brother, Pierce Masterson, in my first Kimani Romance title, Sweet Surrender. But it wouldn’t be fair to have love visit only one sibling.

      In this title, Here and Now, the Masterson family saga continues with a perfectly matched couple—Laura Masterson and Chase Dillard. Who better to appreciate the sexy physique of a sprinter than the beautiful physical therapist that was his first love.

      And when you’ve turned the last page of Laura and Chase’s story, you’ll be happy to know that you haven’t seen the last of Laura; she’ll perform a lifesaving technique in the next episode of the Masterson family series. So stay tuned for the youngest sibling Omar’s story. Omar is a stone-cold player who meets his match in a rising hip-hop star and budding actress, Stacy Watts. Theirs will be a young love full of romance, with a touch of spice.

      Chase Westfield pulled out his personal data assistant and reviewed the list of reminders. Technically he didn’t need the mental nudge. Every year, since high school, he remembered one particular birthday. First love, like a meteor, had the power to crash into the system with enough impact to throw every feeling, thought or memory off kilter. One woman had such a forceful effect on his system.

      He sighed heavily, fingering the thin red ribbon tied around the small gift box. The box fit neatly on his palm. But its meaning was larger
