His Softest Valentine

By Essence Devyne

Softly Santana didn't have a good childhood. When her parents were sent away to prison for a Ponzi scheme, she was sent to live with her and his vindictive wife. In spite of her rough start to life, Softly never let the negative in others weigh her down or hold her back. Now, Softly navigates single motherhood and mortgage loans, craving escape after her divorce. When her ex-husband takes their kids for a week, she books a cruise with her best friend Elise, and with her best friend as her anchor, she expects sun and detachment. Not Royce McCoy.
Royce McCoy doesn't let much get to him. He overcame abuse at the hands of his mother and was determined to show her she couldn't break him by going into business with his best friend and owning multi-million-dollar luxury car dealerships. After losing his unborn child, the solitary freight tycoon boards a Valentine's singles' cruise seeking escape. There, he meets divorced mortgage broker Softly Santana, a radiant plus-sized woman carrying her own wounds.
Amidst a sea of pink roses, their seven-day, six-night voyage ignites a raw, intimate connection where passion becomes their shared language of healing. Every night in his bed, against silk sheets, they trade brokenness for tenderness, discovering that the deepest scars fade when touched softly.
