      You can’t teach this kind of passion…

      Alex Dovington is a man with a secret. The internationally famous jazz musician never learned to read. If the world—and his legions of fans—knew, it would be a disaster. When he learns Cara Williams has been hired to teach him, he is reluctant to follow the plan. The sultry teacher will be given only three days to teach the music legend everything she knows. But the instructor becomes the student when Alex turns their mountaintop classroom into a sensual duet of passion.

      Cara will do anything to keep the doors of her Harlem literacy center open. Even tutor the scandalously handsome saxophone player at his romantic weekend retreat. Alex may be schooling her in the fine art of lovemaking, but Cara has her own secret—one that could tear them apart forever.…

      Her heart skipped a beat when Alex leaned into the microphone and thanked the band. His baritone voice sounded even sexier reverberating through the small room.

      Cara watched in amusement as a small crowd immediately gathered around the stage. Many were women, both young and old, with cameras in their hands, primping and waiting for the perfect photo opportunity. Over the next few minutes Alex posed for every picture and signed every autograph.

      If this was what it was like to be famous, she’d pass. She was glad the only notoriety she’d ever have was the full-page ad for Beacon House in the yellow pages.

      Cara straightened as Alex slid into the booth next to her.

      “Why didn’t you warn me about the groupies? I am seething with jealousy over here.”

      He draped his arm around the back of the booth, and she unconsciously inched closer to him. “There’s no competition here.” He twisted a lock of her hair around his finger and tugged on it playfully. “You’re still my biggest fan, right?”

      She lifted her eyes to his and nodded, wishing that he knew, that she had the courage to tell him, just how much of a fan she was.

      He laid his hand against her cheek, and she felt his warm breath on her lips. “And I’m yours.”

      Their lips melted together in quiet intensity, and everything else—their fear, their pasts and their uncertain future—disappeared.

      Dear Reader,

      What if you couldn’t read the words on this page, a letter from your child or husband, or a menu? Those are the sobering questions I asked myself one day and what drove me to write Lesson in Romance, my debut novel.

      I am always crushing on hot jazz musicians, so Alex is the culmination of my dreams. Although he can’t read, the notes he plays on his saxophone and the touch of his hands speak only pleasure. His sexy looks and vulnerability are irresistible to Cara, who’s on a mission to help end illiteracy in her Harlem community. Along with the ABC’s, she’s teaching Alex how to trust and love again. The secrets and experiences they share along the way will change their lives forever.

      How has the gift of love and reading affected your life? Please share your thoughts with me at [email protected]!

      Be blessed,

      Harmony Evans
