Purple Lipstick (ePub)

NICHOLAS CHEESEBORO, the best all-around running back in college football, knew nothing about love at first sight until the Saturday night he saw the woman in the purple lipstick coming into his dorm building. He was on his way out and she was coming in for a party with his teammates. He wished he could stay.

The pretty young woman, with the full lips lined in dark purple and then filled in with soft lavender, was so attractive that Nicholas completely forgot he was on his way to see his girlfriend.

The next time he saw the woman with the purple lipstick, though, she passed out on the floor of his dorm room and she was a nasty mess. Her dress torn, panties off, body violated and the lipstick smeared across her face. His heart ached at the site, and he cursed his high teammates while helping her up.

JOVITA MOORE, the sexy woman in purple lipstick, awoke in horror. She clawed her way out of his hands and out of the building. She returned with the police to the scene of the crime. The only face she remembered in that room was that of Nicholas Cheeseboro. Nicholas was arrested and accused of raping her.

Nicholas' life as he knew it was over. The college expelled him and his father, who had been his best friend growing up, treated him like a convict. The distaste in his mother's eyes hurt. With his dream of playing football devastated and his family horrified by having raised a rapist, Nicholas was lost.

In the coming months, though, true friendships would lead him into a life that was not so bad, and incredibly, into the arms of the woman in the purple lipstick.
