As a rose abandoned in the desert, she's made a vow - she'll never go back to the way things were... a promise that was easier to keep before a thorn showed up. (This is not a book centered around a love story.)
How does a man handle the risk-taker, a no-nonsense type of woman such as Zafirah? The one who seems so well put together on the outside but won’t let anyone within an inch of discovering what’s inside. Without a doubt, Zafirah is a daddy’s girl and in her eyes has the perfect role model as a father which makes it hard for any man to compare. Is her heart even capable of allowing another being to direct her steps? Does she even want to be handled? Her passion for designing clothes and opening a boutique is all she’s worried about until her heart takes a turn when she realizes the chemistry that she and Troy share.
Mr. Champion, Zafirah’s father regards Troy as his son. Will the close-knit relationship they share be a stumbling block for Troy and Zafirah? Is Troy what Mr. Champion envisions for his daughter? Will Zafirah and Troy go against the grain to be with one another?
Troy Cunningham is an example of a man that can overcome any obstacle and still succeed despite the statistics. He went from dealing in the streets to owning a successful business and his growth as an evolving individual shows daily. However, hardships later plague him and his heart is on the line. Will he continue to win in the game of life?
“Please… When you have me all to yourself, you don’t know what to do.” ~Zafirah~
“I missed you too Zee, so stop flexin’ all the time.” ~Troy~
'Everything in this world is for sale to the people who can afford it....”
Joella Mason knows the difference between what she needs and what she wants. But when the line between the two becomes especially thin, she finds herself on a quest for something missing, not expecting that to come in the package of a sexy stranger with an even sexier proposition. They share a night. Desires are fulfilled. But at what price?
Find out in Love Unsolicited.
Contains mature themes.
Faking this relationship should be a piece of cake.
Retta Majors is having a bad day. But that's to be expected when your ex gets engaged to your cousin. Instead of (totally) freaking out, Retta decides to attend the wedding with her amazing, faithful, and handsome boyfriend.
One problem.
He doesn't exist.
Duncan Gilmore is living his dream. His boxing gym is open for business, and he's focused on success. The last thing on his mind is a relationship. That is until the beautiful baker next door makes him an offer so bizarre, he can't refuse. One weekend of pretending to be Retta's boyfriend should be easy.
However, shared kisses and some flirting start to blur the lines in their fake relationship. When their performance draws to a close, will they go their separate ways or return for an encore?
Hailey Freeman goes to Blackwood with a specific mission - at least on the surface. When a sudden tragedy thrusts her into chaos, she expects to find herself mired in confusion, bereft, while she figures out how to pick up the pieces.
Instead, she finds comfort, clarity, and —baffling— familiarity in the arms of Ellis Boyd.
A stranger.
A stranger who can’t help wondering if he knows Hailey somehow, met her somewhere, another time they just can’t remember — the only explanation for their swift, consuming connection.
At least… the only one that makes sense.
Right?
There wasn't too much in my life that I could complain about; I had a career that I loved, a group of friends that I would do anything for—who had my back in return—and my family wanted for nothing. Most importantly, I was content with pretending that I didn't want something that I couldn't have anyway. The desire was always there, but there were rules in place that were never to be broken.
But then those rules were shattered when two of my friends hooked up, and my world instantly tilted on its axis.
Once Shad and Aisha became a couple, the urges that I'd suppressed for years not only resurfaced but demanded that I take action. With my number one excuse no longer viable, the only thing standing between me and the woman I love is the fact that she doesn't take me seriously. I've never backed down from a challenge in my life, and I'd be a fool to start when what I want is so close that I can taste her. Instead of trying to explain to Monie that we were perfect for one another, I was going to convince her of it by showing her that I'd always been the man she needed.
Love that says something, instead of just looking like it.
Love you can always trust to feel like home.
For both of them, it’s something that has always been just outside of their peripheral, something to be observed rather than experienced. A depth of feeling reserved for people who were “into” that, those with a different outlook, those more… deserving.
Until their paths cross.
Lines are crossed.
And maybe the stars are crossed too, because the connection and chemistry are so off the charts that they can’t stay away from each other, can’t avoid it... even if they think they should.
Justice expected to meet a naïve college man, but instead met a man that is a natural born boss. From the start, things go sour and she starts to wonder if she can even do business with him at all. Besides the sexual tension between the two, their attitudes clash and things unravel fast. Not the one to let a bit of attitude get in the way of business, Zahir doesn't let Justice faze him. After finding his girlfriend Stacey in a compromising position he cuts all ties with her and moves on, ready to focus on his business ventures. He's attracted to Justice, but unlike her, he's down for whatever and not afraid to mix business with pleasure. Lola has had a hard life and after getting out of the foster care system she became a free spirit. She lives life freely without a care in the world and only has to worry about herself. When her past shows up to her doorstep in the form of an 8-year-old girl, she now has to face everything she's been running away from. Justice just wants to do business and keep her feelings out of it, but will she be able to? Will she and Zahir end up becoming more than business associates since they are now both single? Lola has never had to be responsible before, will she be able to take care of a little girl? Or will she send her back to the foster home she came from?
Meet Justice, the beautiful bombshell with a slick mouth and the attitude to match it. Running a drug empire is hard enough, but try being a female while doing so. In a profession that's mostly men, she has no problem stepping up and getting it done in her stiletto heels and a Glock on her hip. Anytime she walks in the room, people notice her, and there's nothing but respect. When the plug dies, and she has to meet with his son, she finds out that there may be more to life than being the head of an empire. An educated boss, Zahir has graduated with a bachelors from Morehouse College and is now taking over his father's operation. After his father's untimely death, he has no choice but to step in his footsteps and do what needs to be done. With his two friends at his side, they take over an illegal business and open legitimate ones all over Atlanta, Georgia. When he meets with his father's clients, the last thing he expects is the beautiful, bad-mouthed Justice. Two young bosses, with money on their mind, suddenly take an interest in each other. Both being headstrong, they can't seem to get along for anything. Can they get past this? Or should they take heed to the saying, never mix business with pleasure?
Having hit a rocky point in his marriage, Darnell decided to seek comfort in someone other than his wife. In turn, his decision to have one night of pleasure has caused an avalanche of events not only for himself but for everyone involved. Just when he chose to end it, he finds out that he has gotten more than he bargained for. Now he has to put the pieces of his marriage back together, but will it be too late?
When young TaSean Prince is unexpectedly summoned to Miami by a cousin he hasn't seen since childhood for a basketball tournament, the lure of a sizable cash prize winds up being too lucrative an offer to pass up. Once in town, the Brooklyn-born baller catches the eye of stunning local model Nina Ortiz. The two hit it off somewhat, but TaSean quickly falls back after learning Nina is taken, deciding instead to turn his affections towards an equally good-looking mixed girl he meets later on named Alexus.
Alexus, as it turns out, is also a Brooklyn native, much to TaSean's delight. The two soon begin dating, a move which provokes Nina's melancholy. Despite already being in a relationship, she just can't seem to shake her ever-growing feelings for TaSean. Meanwhile, as the tournament commences, TaSean is approached by a few NBA scouts, wanting to offer him the opportunity of a lifetime-an opportunity which may be put in jeopardy by his new girlfriend's dark secrets.
There's no such thing as a right time to fall in love. It happens, or it doesn't. Possible to fake, but not force. Impossible to simply wish away.
This is the path that Rob and Iris find themselves on.
He's adjusting to cross-country move, a new job, and an existence that doesn't include the woman he thought he'd spend his life with. She's overburdened by her family, learning the beauty of loneliness, and just trying to... breathe.
Neither of them quite ready to entertain the idea of dating, let alone love, but they can't seem to avoid each other.
He calls it "fate".
She calls it "crazy".
Maybe neither of them is wrong.
When pretense is stripped away, and feelings - good, bad, and ugly - are laid bare, all they're left with is their truth. It's up to them to figure out what to do with it.
