“How about a couple hands of spades?”
“Okay, but why not make it interesting,” J.D. said. “How about a kiss for the winner of each hand?”
“I’m in,” Shae said boldly.
Lines creased his forehead. “Are you sure you want to do this? I wouldn’t want to take advantage of you.”
“This was my idea, remember?”
“Then you better get ready for a beat down,” J.D. answered in a superior tone. The note of sensual promise in his voice encouraged her, adding a forbidden element to the game.
Minutes later, J.D. leaned against the wall, counting his books. “How did you do?”
Peeved, Shae rolled her eyes. “You know exactly how I did.”
Chuckling softly, he touched her arm. “Time to pay up….”
Her attitude evaporated instantly as a ripple of excitement surged through her. Shae leaned closer and her eyes fluttered shut as J.D. claimed her lips. A sensuous current spiraled through her, completely destroying her previous calm.
Slowly loosening his hold, J.D. relaxed against the wall, although his eyes still glowed with a savage inner fire. “Ready for another hand?”

I would like to dedicate Someone To Love to my family and reading audience. Without both groups’ unwavering encouragement and support, I’d probably give in to my lazy side and sit in the center of my bed watching soap operas and eating popcorn instead of writing. Thank you.
Dear Reader,
Welcome to Someone To Love. I hope you like the story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Over the past three years, I’ve gotten very close to the Daniels family.
I introduced readers to this family in my previous title You Are Loved. In that novel, Lisa Daniels’s struggle with infertility and her love for Matthew James touched many hearts. The saga continued with Cynthia Williams and David Daniels. David’s drive for professional success and Cynthia’s determination to find the parents that abandoned her as a baby garnered Circles of Love a great deal of recognition and a lot of mail from readers. Someone To Love will toss Lisa and David’s younger brother J.D. and Shae Weitherspoon into the limelight.
There are occasions when writing can be a lonely job. It warms my heart to hear from readers who have interesting comments about the stories and the characters that I create. Don’t be a stranger, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] or drop a note at P.O. Box 40366, Redford, MI 48240. I love hearing from you.
Happy reading!
Karen White-Owens
