THE BLIND SHOT BY J.L. CAMPBELL
When all else fails, love will find a way.
Kofi Danquah
has travelled halfway around the globe for fifteen years, satisfying his need
for advancement and adventure. In that time, he has never met another woman as
intriguing as Regina Chu. She's a chameleon—a wild child with issues she hides
behind a playful persona.
In Gina's eyes, Kofi is a mystery—exotic, intense and secretive. His sober nature balances her bubbly personality and unconventional approach to life. Plus, he's appealing enough to make her forget they're from separate worlds.
Time spent together changes Kofi and Gina's platonic relationship into an attraction that burns hot despite their cultural differences and the disapproval of their families. But fairy tales don't always last and true love needs fertile soil in which to bloom.

Excerpt
Kofi left my side and took a spin around the room. He stopped
beside a window that gave a view of the yard. Even in a white tee-shirt and
knee-length shorts, he was distracting—despite the state I was in. After
several minutes, he faced me. "Come here."
I dragged myself to where he stood and looked up at him.
He took me by both hands and as he drew me in, his breath wafted
across my forehead. Cherished and protected, that's how I felt in his
arms.
"What was that for?" I asked.
"Do I need a reason to hug you?"
I shook my head and tried to lighten the moment. "You're
getting to be as weird as I am."
He kissed my forehead and then chuckled. "Nope. Since I knew
you needed a hug. I supplied it."
Stepping backward, I met his eyes. "Do you believe what I
just told you?"
"Why wouldn't I? Everything you've told me supports what I
thought before you said a word about what happened to you."
"And you still want to be with me?"
"I ask you again. Why wouldn't I?" He pulled me close,
squeezing me to his chest. "Come here, you crazy
woman."
While he hugged me, I mumbled in his shirt. "I just
thought that maybe you'd think less of me."
"Why would I? It wasn't your fault." Kofi tipped my chin
up, but I wouldn't look above his lips. "It only makes me love you
more."
My heart stopped for at least a couple of
seconds. I was sure of it. Since I wasn't convinced Kofi's words
weren't a mistake or him trying to comfort me, I let the moment pass.
"You know the worst part?" I asked,
sniffling.
"I can't know, so I'm asking you to share that with me."
I ran one finger over the bulging muscles in his arm. "The
biggest problem my mother has with you is the color of your skin … as if we
aren't black, too."
Kofi's grin was
filled with mischief. "I figured that out the minute she laid eyes on
me."
