One More Dance by M.K. Moore

When I met Betty in fifth grade, I was too young to know better. I never should have given her up, despite her moving. I’m not ashamed to admit that I stalked her on social media. She never left my mind. I could have saved her a lot of heartache, but things happen for a reason. Without that heartache, her daughter wouldn’t have married my brother, and she wouldn’t have her sons. Now, I’m the man she needs me to be. I’ve killed for her; only she doesn’t know it yet. I’ll do anything for her. Loving Betty is the easiest thing I’ve ever done.
Lorenzo was larger than life back when I knew him. He was nice to me when no one else was. I’ve had a hard life and done things I’m not proud of, but things feel possible now. When my son-in-law saved us, I swore I’d do anything to pay him back. Working as a club mom at Club Curve, the latest Vitali acquisition is the first of many ways. I want Lorenzo in a way I’ve never wanted another man. Everything feels different this time around. He loves me and my boys, and that matters. He matters.
