An Unguarded Moment — Ann Jeffries

Otis Redding probably said it best in his rendition of "If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right." An affair between two married people can sometimes be more, mean more than just sex and infidelity. It can mean everything to two love-starved people. Former Texas beauty queen, JaiHonnah Reise Chapman of African and Native American ancestry is finally moving back to the United States after studying abroad for the least four years and completing her doctorates in architecture and structural engineering at Arcadia Laboratories, Politecnico di Milano, Italy. A new career opportunity awaits her in Washington, DC, away from her wealthy, powerful and manipulative father, Jake Hawkins, and the brutal man she married, international financier, Calvin Chapman. The last thing she needs or wants at the beginning of her professional life is to have An Unguarded Moment with another woman's husband, her new boss. J Roderick Baylor, known as the sports icon JRock, had shed the highlights of his illustrious, professional basketball career, and the lowlights of his disastrous marriage to Monique, a would-be starlet. Now he has his twin, five-year-old daughters, Shelly and Shelby, a highly successful construction and development business and loving, supportive family and friends around with which to build a new life. Little did he know that an illicit affair with another man's wife, his new employee, had the power to refurbish the torn parts of his life and erect a monument to the power of love.
