Silken Embrace (The Drakes of California Book 7)

Terrell Drake, a billionaire businessman and heir to a sprawling Northern California dynasty, usually gets what he wants. Driven by a desire to make a difference, he finds fulfillment in mentoring fatherless young boys at Paradise Cove's new youth center. However, his world is turned upside down when he meets Aliyah Robinson, a stunning single mother whose demeanor suggests a strict hands-off policy.

Yet, the heat sparkling in Aliyah's big brown eyes tells Terrell a different story. Aliyah has learned about life the hard way, having clawed her way up from the streets to become an accomplished anesthesiologist. Understandably, she is wary of trusting the charismatic playboy, who is already winning over her son.

Despite her reservations, the desire Terrell arouses proves too powerful to ignore. What begins as a casual fling soon flames into something deeper, and just as the lovers are on the cusp of something truly special, they are hit with a double whammy – sudden celebrity and a blast from the past that could jeopardize their future together.

Terrell, accustomed to getting his way, is determined not to let this opportunity slip through his fingers. The promise of forever with Aliyah is too precious to give up without a fight. He is willing to face any challenge that stands in their way, be it the glare of the media spotlight or the specter of Aliyah's past.

As the two navigate the turbulent waters of their newfound fame and the unexpected obstacles that arise, they discover that the depth of their connection is stronger than they ever could have imagined. Aliyah, once so guarded, slowly opens her heart to the possibility of a future with Terrell, finding solace in his unwavering support and genuine affection.

Together, they must confront the demons of their past and the scrutiny of the public eye, all while fighting to keep their love alive. The stakes are high, but Terrell is more than willing to go to great lengths to ensure that his and Aliyah's dream of a forever love becomes a reality.

In the end, the journey they embark on is one of self-discovery, trust, and the ultimate triumph of the heart. Terrell and Aliyah's story stands as a testament to the power of love to overcome even the most daunting of challenges.
