An unexpected match
After years of hard work, Khadijah Upton lands her dream job as an athletic trainer for the Atlanta Cannons. Then an evening of celebration turns into a one-night stand with a beautiful stranger. It’s a reckless, wildly sexy encounter that Khadijah intends to forget…until her first day on the job lands her face-to-face with Shae Harris again.
Shae is a major player in every sense of the word, and Khadijah doesn’t plan to be the latest in a long line of ‘Harris Honeys’. Personal and professional just don’t mix. But the more Shae reveals about herself, the harder it is for Khadijah to resist.
In the bedroom, their tension sizzles. On the court, it’s a liability. Unless Khadijah’s willing to really let Shae in, it won’t be just the team championship on the line, but a powerful connection that rewrites all the rules.

"Some to-do lists you're happy to complete...
A mason jar.
A notepad.
And her sexy 'honey-do-me' list.
Three simple items combined to make the perfect birthday gift for Calida's husband.
But all’s fair in love and sex.
Being fully aware of the level of naughty running through Malcolm’s head doesn't deter her from having him to make one of his own. In fact, it adds to the thrill. Carte blanche to let his fantasies run wild.
The sexual escapades are exciting, but Calida is keeping something from her husband. When all is revealed will her reason for lying be enough for him to forgive her deceit?"
"Getting to know your neighbor has its benefits...
Lana Martin does things by the numbers. Thinking choices through with the help of her trusty spreadsheets is how she lives her life. It’s safe, comfortable, logical. A method that never failed her… Until she strayed all because of the annoying neighbor she’s yet to formally meet.
Emilio Ramirez likes to have fun and enjoy himself. Life’s too short for overthinking and second guesses. He thought himself to be friendly, and likable… Until he crosses paths with his next door neighbor. A woman who seems to have a permanent scowl reserved for him.
Loud music and a dog that doesn’t care about boundaries just may have these two sharing more than a wall."
"She survived a hell most people couldn’t fathom…
Two years later, Calida Jokobi has constructed her life with two goals in mind: to keep the remaining pieces of her heart safe and her deepest secrets buried. However, pretending you’re fine only works if no one challenges the lie.
One man puts it all at risk.
Malcolm has been her friend. Her first crush. And her first kiss. Now he wants to be the man to prove that past decisions don’t make her unworthy of love.
The closer he gets, the more her façade begins to crumble, leaving the truths she’s worked to hide vulnerable to exposure. With the life and happiness she’s dreamed of in reach, can Calida let down her defenses and trust not only Malcolm, but also herself?
**The story is about recovery from an abusive relationship and does contain mentions on past events that could be sensitive for some readers.**"
"Goodwill towards others has never felt better…
Noelle Cameron won’t let being basically homeless in a new state dampen her Christmas spirit. Thanks to her coworker, she has a temporary housing possibility. However, her new potential roommate is about as welcoming as the Grinch. But Noelle refuses to let scowls and snide remarks about her festive attire steal her joy. Winning over the cranky Lennox will be a victory sweeter than sugar cookies.
Lennox Sutton doesn’t want to live with anyone. Unfortunately, one well delivered guilt trip from her sister means taking in the woman wearing a reindeer headband and an attitude that goes past glass half full to it completely spilling over. Now she’s stuck with a person who embodies everything Lennox dislikes about the holiday season. But beneath the ugly sweaters shines someone whose company Lennox could enjoy.
A meddling sister and a dash of Christmas magic might have these two polar opposites finding new ways to enjoy the season of giving."

Life is exactly how she wants until it all goes up in smoke. Literally. The attractive outsider called in to help is a distraction she doesn’t need.
Firefighter Alec Hodge is eager to spread his wings and the assignment in Madison Island, GA gives him the chance. A suspicious blaze may have brought him to the small town, but enigmatic Regina keeps him coming back.
Sparks fly. Passions ignite. But when revelations hit like a backdraft, the newly kindled relationship could be snuffed out before it really has a chance to burn."
"It’s the person she least expected who provides a much-needed tune up of her life...
For Dr. Irene Johnson-Moore perception is everything. After living most of her life behind facades built from other people’s expectations, she’s ready for a change. At least that’s what she tells herself. But old habits die hard. And when her car breaks down, forcing her to deal with the town mechanic—a woman whose bluntness always irked Irene—her resolve is instantly put to the test.
Remi Martin prides herself on being unapologetically honest. Brutally so at times. No good ever came from pretending to be someone or something she’s not.
When she responds to a call from a stranded motorist, she never imagined she’d be towing the self-proclaimed “town princess” into her world. Irene Johnson embodies everything Remi tries to avoid, yet she can’t seem to shake her one-time adversary.
However, the more time they spend together, the more feelings begin to idle under the surface. But before their relationship can rev to life, they must release their preconceived notions or things could come to a screeching halt."
"Her return could be a second chance to repair a first love...
Forty-three and jobless, Cynthia Marshall finds herself in the last place she'd expected, back home on Madison Island, GA. Her small hometown holds the ghosts of choices past. From the large Victorian she inherited from her beloved aunt, to unresolved family issues, and the boy turned man she left behind over two decades ago.
Starting a new career is hard enough but having to do so side by side with a person whose heart she broke is something she never accounted for.
Marcel Lewis is the owner of the only construction company on the island and is the key to making Cynthia's new dream a reality. He never quite got over the abrupt departure of the first woman he ever loved. Her return means he can finally get answers to the whys and what-ifs that have plagued him.
Years have passed, feelings have remained, but some wounds have yet to heal. The more time they spend together, the walls of the old house aren't the only ones tumbling down. But they can't construct a future without answering for decisions of the past.
