    About this ebook

    A short contemporary, sensual romance novel. Sometimes it is good to make promises you can't keep!
    Kia Giavonni worked at the local hat factory in Relief, Texas. Joseph Cunningham III was the owner, and Kia's boss. Every day they went nose to nose about working conditions and over time. Kia wanted better working conditions at the factory, like updated equipment, restrooms marked "female", and more sanitary conditions. Joe wanted to save the factory from Mr. Walsh who wanted to turn the factory into a huge parking lot, without his grandfather's trust money, he couldn’t even make improvements. Joe has to marry to get his grandfather's trust money and save the factory, and he's already picked the most unlikely person to marry, Kia. At least she wanted improvements, so did Joe. Besides, they would never fall in love. Best laid plans go awry. Joe marries Kia with the understanding they'll divorce after a year, but even those plans are upset, when they decide to have sex. Is it sex or something more? Kia is pregnant. The strictly business deal fell through. Breaking their deal, Kia realizes she'll have to get the divorce and take the baby with her. Joe might get his factory but he'll lose the most important thing, Kia. Kia made judgements about Joe long ago, and she finds it hard to trust him. Joe had been thinking only of himself when he married Kia, and saving his factory. They simply never expected to fall in love. But sometimes the best laid plans go awry, and surrendering can be well worth it.

    Hi friendsI'd like to ask a favor, not just for me but for all writers. PLease when we offer a free book, it would be wonderful if you'd take the time to rate the book. This doesn't take much time out of your day and authors really apreciate your time to do this. I know not everyone wants to sit down and write a review, but rating the book will help as well. And a big thanks to all who do this. You never know how much an author appreciates you taking the time to do this.I finally finished The Car Stalker. Hope you'll check it out. This is the second book in the stalker series. Like I said mystery is much different from romance all though there are elements in romance in my stalker books too. Today I finished an another book in my series of Vets coming home, Better Every Day. This book takes the angle of when family interrupts your plans. When a one-night stand is much more. I love this story as it hits home. So two new books out now and more coming.I'm taking the time to write while confined at home. But lack of seeing people outside, and living alone all the time is not new to me. I've got lots of stories to tell so be on the lookout for my newest releases. You might check out my Searchin g for You Indian romance on Amazon too.There are several new free books for you enjoyment, since your stuck at home. Home you enjoy them.As for a bio, suffice it to say, I'm a Texan tried and true. I have grown children and grandchildren and already some great-grandchildren. I've done multi jobs in my lifetime giving me a variety of experiences to write and talk about. I've done many different kinds of work from Texas Instruments, to City of Garland, to working for the Wylie Independent School District. I've worked for a hat factory, filing insurance claims, secretarial work, to waitress work. My writing reflects my varied background. Another note I've had a in home day care for twenty years too. So when I write about something I have a general knowledge of it too, which is a real bonus for me. Just like my public work, my writing varies too from contemporary to historical, I write romance, thrillers, children's. A lot of people might say gee, that's a lot of different jobs, and it is, but, I've learned from them all, and I use that experience in my writing.I want to thank all the readers over a length of time that have tried some of my books. I hope I've enlightened and entertained you. I hope I've shared some love in this world. Sharing love can't be bad, it's God given.God bless.Other places to see my bookshttps://www.fantasticfiction.com/h/rita-hestand/https://itunes.apple.com/us/author/rita-hestand/id365799219?mt=11www.scriptsforschools.com/rita-hestandhttps://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/search?query=rita%20hestand&fcsearchfield=author
