Path To Passion

The man who broke her heart...

Is the man she now needs more than ever!

Heir to his family’s global empire, branding genius Miguel Astacio turns everything into marketing gold. Only his best friend’s sister seems immune to his magic touch. Until Tanya Carrington comes to him to save her floundering nightclub. Miguel is ready to rectify past mistakes. But will his supreme sacrifice win the heart of the woman he loves?

NANA PRAH first discovered romance in a book from her eighth-grade summer reading list and has been obsessed with it ever since. Her fascination with love inspired her to write in her favorite genre where happily-ever-after is the rule.

She is a published author of contemporary multicultural romances. Her books are sweet with a touch of spice. When she’s not writing she’s overindulging in chocolate, enjoying life with friends and family, and tormenting nursing students into being the best nurses the world has ever seen.

“Tanya.”

“Yes.” She hated the shyness that had come over her. Couldn’t she wind back the hands of time and make things between them comfortable again? She’d have to go back to before she’d ever laid eyes on him in college, and she never wanted to have never known him. Even after everything she’d been through, meeting him was the best thing to happen to her.

“Sweetheart, look at me.”

The butterflies in her stomach took flight, but she feigned interest in the occurrences of the busy city. She had no choice but to obey when he grasped her shoulders and turned her. Staring at his chest did nothing to ease her anxiety, so she took a leap and looked up into his eyes. Back to the brilliant hazel she’d always loved.

For every moment they stood gazing at each other she sank deeper. She could barely remember who she’d been when he hadn’t been in her life for the past ten years. He was her world at that moment and nothing else mattered.

Her breaths came out in little pants as dread competed with nerve-racking anticipation. Would he kiss her? The air pulsed around them.

Dear Reader,

For some reason, the term “being on the down low” popped into my mind one day and refused to leave. That’s the reason why Tanya Carrington ended up having an ex-husband who epitomized the phrase. It made for a fascinating and painful backstory for the heroine. The reintroduction of the man who rejected her years ago added to the drama that is her life.

I’ve been crushing on Miguel Astacio since I first introduced him in A Perfect Caress as the heroine’s younger brother. Handsome, rich, fun, sexy, dimpled and always seeking the limelight, there’s a lot more to Miguel than his partying ways. He’s now put in the position to prove himself to his family, to the world and especially to the woman he gave up but now has a second chance to be with.

I hope you enjoy the story.
