Law Number Two: Love Writes Its Own Laws!
Azure Ellison may have undergone a total makeover, but she never expects to be romanced by Harper Hamilton, her former prep school friend. The ambitious journalist is after a career-making story about Harper’s powerful Philadelphia family. But the charismatic attorney wants something from Azure in return: her vow to become his lawful wife in a marriage of convenience!
Harper can’t believe the girl he once knew has transformed into this stunning, successful beauty. The longtime bachelor has his own reasons for proposing, but Azure has awakened a desire he’s determined to consummate. With the paparazzi eager for the wedding of the year, Harper is ready to start his honeymoon. Until a breaking scandal about the Hamilton dynasty threatens his marriage to the woman he now wants to have and to hold forever…
“You’re wearing a new perfume.”
Frowning, she slanted her head to the right. His words left her confused, bewildered. Why is Harper doing this to me? she wondered, fiddling with her pearl necklace. Why is he prolonging my misery?
“What’s it called?”
“Lovestruck.”
“How fitting,” he whispered, lowering his mouth, “because that’s how I feel every time you walk into a room.”
Azure felt his hands skim her breasts, and shivered when he flicked his thumb over a nipple. It was a high-voltage charge that fused her eyes to his lips, and her hands to his chest. “Stop,” she croaked, hating that her order sounded more like a desperate plea. “I don’t want this, and I don’t want you, so—”
Harper crushed his lips to her mouth.
The kiss unleashed his desire, unleashed the pent-up emotions he’d been battling for the past two weeks. To his surprise, Azure kissed him back. Matching his heat, his urgency, she gave herself willingly to him. He sucked on her bottom lip, teased and licked it with his tongue. Her mouth felt amazing, tasted sweet, too, but didn’t quench his body’s thirst.
He needed more.
A lot more.

Evidence of Desire
Pamela Yaye
Dear Reader,
I hope you are enjoying this scandalous family miniseries, Laws of Love, and are anxious to read about more secrets, lies and betrayals!
In Evidence of Desire, attractive power couple Azure Ellison and Harper Hamilton bring the heat, as well as more drama than a reality TV show! I feel for Azure. And you will, too. Her boss is pressuring her to dig up dirt on the wealthy Hamilton clan, her image-obsessed mother is always criticizing her, and to boost her popularity she marries Harper Hamilton—a suave, sinfully sexy heartthrob she can’t stop fantasizing about. What’s a girl to do? Indulge in a night or two of toe-curling pleasure, that’s what!
I know how much Kimani readers love scorching-hot love scenes, so I made sure Azure and Harper weren’t shy about unleashing their desires in the bedroom. (Or in the kitchen. Or wherever else the mood struck!)
I love how Azure comes into her own as a woman during the course of the story, and I admire Harper’s strength, his vulnerability and how he’ll stop at nothing to win Azure’s heart. The brother is swoonworthy for more reasons than I can count, but don’t take my word for it. Read the story for yourself and see what an incredible man Harper Hamilton is.
I look forward to hearing what you think of Harper and Azure’s story, so drop me a line at pamelayaye.com, or visit my Facebook page and we can discuss all your favorite juicy parts.
With love,

Chapter 1
Harper Hamilton whacked the yellow racquetball so hard he heard his wrist crack, but when it bounced off the wall and smacked his youngest brother upside the head, he felt an odd twinge of satisfaction. Great move, wrong family member, he thought, wishing his cousin Jake had been on the receiving end of the powerful, unexpected blow.
