Deeper Look: Play Me
Lana Franklyn and Andre Adkins have been best friends since their college days.
Over the years they remained so close and connected to each other that everyone- including their friends who should know better- thought they were already a couple with blissful years of dating under their belt.
Unfortunately for Lana ,those opinions couldn’t be further from reality.
Now after two months of separation, Lana can’t hide the truth from herself or Dre any longer.
She’s romantically in love with her best friend.
Although super nervous, Lana is ready to confess her true feelings, but her plans hit a major roadblock when Dre drops the bomb that he’s planning on proposing to his beloved, unintentionally making Lana choke on her last sip of beer from the sheer shock of the announcement.
“The first icy tendrils of fear and anxiety began unspooling within her lower gut, licking at her heart, ringing all kinds of alarms in her mind.
She didn’t respond, simply waited for him to hit her with this decision, already suspecting that she wasn’t going to like where this was going at all.
Dre angled himself more towards her, took a deep breath, then, “Lana”.
He looked straight into her soul, “I’ve decided to marry the woman I love”.
The cold sip Lana had just taken as if also shocked by his declaration slipped down the wrong path burning her throat and choking her”.

Try as she might to hide her pain and be happy for her friend, it is all too much and she does the only thing she can- she tries to escape.
“Trapped between the hard, heated firmness of Dre’s wide chest, and the wooden door she was trying to escape through, Lana felt a frisson of desire bloom within her.
She hadn’t been expecting Dre to just bodily trap her against his door, especially not when he had just declared his desire to end their relationship.
Therefore, she wasn’t prepared for the sizzling sensation of Dre’s other arm wrapping itself around her small waist, drawing her away from the door and more solidly against his hard wall of muscles.
Imprisoning her against his tempting body and stealing her breath.
“You can‘t go out there, it‘s raining,” He mumbled into her hair, hugging her to him.” Excerpt taken from Play Me.
Suddenly, Lana finds herself trapped in Dre’s arms, hoisted over his shoulder and being taken to his bed.
Confused, frustrated and sure she is missing something, because despite Dre’s playfulness and his desire to keep her close, she is sure of one thing from this night, Dre will never belong to her.
Determined to put space between them, while also getting to the bottom of what she feels in her bones Dre is still hiding from her, what will she do once she learns this secret?
Is there still a chance for Lana and Dre to become more than friends?
