IF YOU WERE MY MAN except In stores and online March 2, 2010

Rafael Dunlap and Nathalyia Fontaine

Rafael glanced around. Air stalled in his lungs. The owner of Fontaine restaurant was stunning. She laughed softly. Even with the noise of the crowded bar Rafael heard the alluring sound. He decided then and there he’d hear it again…while they were in bed.

“Welcome to Fontaine, gentlemen,” Nathalyia Fontaine greeted. “Is the food and the service to your satisfaction?”
“I have a problem,” Rafael said, waiting for her to face him. When she did, his pulse hammered, but nothing showed on his face. He wasn’t a cop for nothing.

“Yes?”

Standing, Rafael held out his hand. “My name’s Rafael Dunlap.” The contact was barely the touch of their palms. Still, Rafael felt his heart rate increase. He studied her exquisite face for a reaction, and was disappointed to see none. “Go out with me and we can discuss it.”

Not one luscious black lash moved. Rafael couldn’t recall a woman being totally unresponsive to him. He wasn’t sure he liked it.

“Please excuse me for a moment.” She walked to the hostess station. Rafael watched her every step. He admired the erect posture, the way the black material hugged her perfectly shaped hips. Without conceit, he told himself that he’d be doing the same before the week was over.

She returned with a menu and handed it to him. “As you will see, I’m not on the menu,” she replied sweetly. “Gentlemen. Please come again.”

She hadn’t taken two steps away before the men at his table burst out

laughing.

      Me too. giggle

      Of course my dream is a multimillion dollar blockbuster that break all movie records.
      However, an independent movie that becomes an underground cult hit/favorite would be amazing as well.

      Rio quote: “It never jams(gun) and I never miss.”

    Hi Francis
    I discovered you with “Nobody But You” and have become addicted to your books. I have been buying up your backlist so thanks for putting the family trees in the books so I know what to get for each series. Found The Turning Point (2001) in a used book store as it’s out of print. This book was incredible and showed me that your writing is consistently emotional & sexy.
    Just wanted to let you know how much you’ve touched this Italian reader from Canada.

        Hi Francis
        I’ll be back for sure. I forgot to mention: I think that authors have to walk a fine line, having a style readers love without being repetitious. You do this very well.

  5. Jennifer says:

    I’ve read Camreon Dunlap’s story, i’m not sure if i’ve read any of the other stories…

    Thanks,

    Deanna

      • Deanna says:

        Mrs. Ray,

        on the back cover of Nobody But You, It does had Cameron’s last name as Dunlap. But on the Family Tree on the inside pages it has the correct last name.

        • Francis Ray says:

          Deanna,
          You are right. We goofed, however the subsequent printing is right. You have a collector’s item that you should never..ever..sell…
          Unless it’s a thousand dollar cashier’s check. LOL

          Happy Valentine’s Evening/Night

          psst…remember a thousand dollars. :-)
          Stay away from snow.

    I realized after i posted it that was the wrong series! I have In Another Man’s Bed, and I’ve read Any Rich Man Will Do and Not Even If You Begged! That’s when I put the Last Names together. I remembered Patrick Dunlap!
