Smitten (Soul Love #4)

Evon Samples is a popular rising star, the only daughter from a family with a famous name. Her father, John Samples, is a respected award-winning black film director, connected at the highest levels, her mother a former dancer and starlet.

It is precisely this celebrity background Evon Samples seeks to relinquish in her endeavor to gain acceptance on merit as a talented young singer, songwriter-musician with her sights set high.

Placed under the Stax’s music label, in the care of Raymond Parks and Spade, two mutual friends of her father’s, Evon crosses paths with the crème de la crème of hip-hop, catching the eye of one of the biggest names in rap the notorious, but gorgeous, Def D, aka Dominico Fernandez.

The attraction between Dominico and Evon is not only immediate and mutual, but sexy, passionately charged and seemingly unstoppable. Evon feels drawn to D despite all of the warning signs, and her better judgment.

As their secret trysts magnify, Evon struggles to come to terms with exactly what her relationship with Def D is all about. Feeling torn and potentially in too deep; Evon accepts the distraction, and encouragement of her mother, by going on a date with the more ‘suitable’ Trenton Blake, one of the most desirable African-American film-stars around.

Increasingly torn between two incredible men, Evon embarks upon the biggest test of her maturity so far - her ability to think for herself and have the guts to stand by the desires of her own heart.
