A
Lesson On Love
Jenkins
and Sons Construction Series Book 3
by
Sharon C. Cooper
Genre:
Contemporary Romance
Some
lessons are harder to learn than others.
Jerry
Jenkins is a player. He loves women. Curvy women. Soft women. He's
unapologetically drawn to full-figured women. With all the beauties
in the world, he has no intention of settling down with just one. Not
until Rayne Ellison moves in next door. But the curvaceous beauty
doesn’t fall for his charm. Still, she's the only woman who has him
willing to shred his bachelor’s card.
If
there’s one lesson single mom Rayne learned over the years, it’s
to avoid players. Been there, done that. Barely survived. No way will
she fall prey to another ladies’ man. She has one focus—raising
her daughter, but there’s something so magnetic about Jerry. Rayne
agrees to be friends, but nothing more. At least that’s what she
tells herself.
When
tragedy strikes, Rayne is ready to give up, but it’s Jerry who
keeps her afloat. He breaks down her defenses and, in the process,
gives her a lesson on love.

Grabbing
the water pitcher from the refrigerator, Rayne poured them both a
glass. “Tonight, was fun,” she said. “I
agree, and I’m glad you had a good time. Does that mean you’ll
consider going out with me again…and again after that?” He
flashed that sexy grin that sent heat rushing through her body. Smiling,
Rayne shook her head. She didn’t dare tell him that the thought had
popped into her head on the way to his parents’ house. Even though
she knew it was just fear keeping her from dating anyone, she still
couldn’t seem to get past her experience with Kirk. But what she
did know, was Jerry was nothing like him. He was a good man, and
Rayne was lucky to have him in her life…even as a friend.
“I
don’t think you should wait on me, Jerry. Find someone you can have
a future with.” “That
someone is you.” “That
someone needs to be a person who wants to get married. Someone who
can make you happy, because I already know you’re going to be a
wonderful husband.” Those words left Rayne’s mouth dry. The
thought of him with another woman made her stomach hurt, but she was
still too damaged for a relationship…and scared. Jerry
gulped
half the contents of his glass before setting it on the counter.
“That
someone could be you.” “We’re
not doing this back and forth dance tonight,” she said, a little
disappointed in herself. Here she had this great guy who wanted to
get to know her even better, and she was pushing him away, again. Jerry
brushed the back of his fingers down Rayne’s cheek, and her skin
tingled from the contact. “I
thought you wanted a family.” “I
do…I did,” she added quickly. “Actually, I have a
family—Stormy.” Rayne
lowered her eyes and stared down at the floor, but felt
the heat of his gaze. Her desire to have a big family hadn’t
diminished. She just couldn’t see herself getting married again.
Trusting had never come easy, and after Kirk’s deception, Rayne had
vowed never to rely on a man again. But she’d be lying if she said
that Jerry didn’t tempt her to do just that. Spending time with
him, she’d felt special, treasured. Feelings she hadn’t
experienced in years, if ever. He
tilted her chin, forcing her to look at him, and their eyes locked on
each other. He really was a gorgeous man with smooth, dark skin and
those penetrating eyes that Rayne could easily get lost in. But
then her eyes dropped to his full, kissable lips, and she swallowed
hard. She had told herself that their outing tonight wasn’t
a real date. It was just two friends hanging out and celebrating his
birthday, but she really wouldn’t mind kissing her friend
again.
