Coming Home (Audible Exclusive) by Kennedy Ryan
They got everything they wanted…but never had each other.
Touré Wallace and Niomi Spencer were close friends at Finley College, the prestigious HBCU they attended. The attraction that simmered between them every semester was a question they never got to ask or answer before soaring ambitions launched them to opposite corners of the world. Both chased their dreams of grit and glamor as high-profile journalists. They got it all…except a shot at being more than friends.
Years later, Touré is an award-winning investigative journalist and Niomi is America’s most popular morning-show host, but they both feel like something’s missing. When their alma mater recruits its most famous alums for an interview during homecoming, every look, every touch is electric. The air hums with what could have been, and they’re tempted by what they could have right now, if only for one weekend. Have they traveled the world, chasing something special, when all it took was coming home?

Pharaoh: Wolf Warriors MC by K.C. Mills
Pharaoh Vaughan was the type of man that you don’t want to cross. As Wolf Warriors MC’s, enforcer, if you were on his radar, you had better be prepared to dance with the devil.
When it came to women, there was only ever one he considered giving his heart to, but the debt he felt he owed the only family that ever showed up for him forced Pharaoh to choose loyalty over love.
Yahri Hall decided at a very young age that her heart belonged to one man and one man only. Pharaoh Vaughan was forbidden fruit and what made matters worse, he’d crushed her teenaged heart.
Ten years later, Yahri landed herself right in the middle of a complicated situation. There was only one place she could go to feel safe and protected. That safe space just happened to be the home her father forced her to leave in order to keep her disconnected from his very dangerous life. All things came full circle when the love that was forbidden years ago became the only person who is man enough to keep her out of danger.
Pharaoh and Yahri have the potential for a second chance at love, but the price may be higher than either of them is willing to pay.

Desmond has more money than he can ever spend, and the world is at his fingertips. Now that DC’s ended his six-month sabbatical and he’s launched officially into retirement, he has more time now, too.

I’ll tell you who. Me, Cairo Clayton, the woman who started catching feelings for said bestie.
For some reason, I can no longer pretend that he isn’t the most beautiful man that I’ve ever seen. I can’t ignore his mesmerizing gold eyes, or his chiseled body that stretches to nearly seven feet.
And when Desmond asks me to marry him temporarily to avoid a blackmail pregnancy scandal that threatens to collapse his business ventures, I should consent, right?
So, I do. Even if it means jeopardizing our friendship and revealing my deepest secrets.
