Point of No Return, the dramatic conclusion to Good to the Last Drop is based
on the lives of newly married couple, Amber and Khalil Devereaux, who have seen
their share of both triumph and tragedy but have managed to keep their love
alive. Amber is steadfast in her commitment, while Khalil, along with the help
of his best friend Shawn, has vowed to become a better man.
Through a series of unfortunate events, karma comes back with a vengeance and
leaves the couple hanging in the balance. Returning are the characters you love
to hate, root for, laugh and cry with. Will faith and forgiveness salvage their
love? What happens when love and happily ever after are tempted with lust and
secrets? Sexy, emotional, thought-provoking, deliciously witty and inviting,
Elissa Gabrielle will put you in a trance, on a wild ride full of twists and
turns so bold; leaving you wholly satisfied.
EXCERPT
As Summer leans back into the passenger seat of my ride, she cracks the window
to allow the cool breeze to sneak in. We decided to head to the restaurant earlier
from my loft in the city, since Summer had work in New York today. She parks
in front of the loft, which will be really convenient for her when it's time
for her to leave. I must admit, I'm enjoying Summer's company, but not ready
to settle down with anyone right now. I look over to her, and she stares back
at me. It's a look I've seen before, the look of love. I know Summer's falling
hard and I can't do anything about that. She is stunning and right up my alley,
as far as looks are concerned. And, she's intelligent and has a good head on
her shoulders. Could any man ask for more? Yes, she's the perfect woman, but
she's not Amber, unfortunately.
I'm not sure, at this moment, if it is the whole forbidden fruit notion that
gets in the way of me moving on. Or, if it is true love I feel for her. I know
I feel some sort of way about Amber. My stomach knots up when I think of her.
It took me weeks to change the sheets after the times I made love to her. Just
to inhale her precious scent, provided comfort to my soul. She is the star of
my dreams, the want in my need. But, she belongs to my best friend. And now,
they're having a baby. There's no way in hell I'll be able to share my life
with the true love of my life. But as my momz always told me, "you make
your bed, you lie in it." What a predicament. My ex is stalking me, I'm
falling for the perfect woman, and the true love of my is married to my best
friend.
