  Meet Me in Paris (Kimani Romance)

  by Simona Taylor

  Gonna Be One of Those Days -First, there was the pantyhose. The last pair of pantyhose in the drawer, and silk ones at that. The last pair in the whole apartment, and considering the current state of Kendra's finances, the last one she'd be wearing until payday rolled around—and they had a run.
