Body Language (Mind, Body, & Soul Book 2) by Netra Antionette
I can read a man before he even opens his mouth. I know which ones are starving to be understood, which ones hide their scars in designer suits, and which ones will hand me exactly what I need just for the privilege of feeling seen. I’ve been running this game long enough to turn conversations into currency and eye contact into opportunities.
Every move I make is calculated. When I dance, my movements speak to their thoughts before I ever open my mouth. I tell their secrets with the arch of my back, answer their questions with the roll of my hips while I strip them bare mentally.
But then there’s Kendrix Givelle. A man who doesn’t ask questions, just studies the way my shoulders drop when I’m tired, the way my smile fades when the weight gets heavy.
I’ve built my world on control. On never needing anyone to hold it up for me. And yet… one look from him, and I start to wonder.. What if I’ve finally met the man who speaks my body language as fluently as I do?

Nuri Symone St. James
I never thought I’d see the day my own brother became my enemy. After losing our parents nearly a decade ago, I thought we’d always protect each other because he was all I had left. I was wrong. His reckless choices burned through his inheritance, and now he wants mine—including the one place where I can still feel my parents’ presence: our family estate. The worst part? He’s willing to do anything to settle his debts. Even marry me off to a silver-haired devil who sees me as property. My only way out? Marry a man I barely know. He doesn’t talk much and stares at me like he sees through every layer I try to hide behind, but in the rare moments when he does speak… I listen. And somehow, against all logic, I believe him when he says he’ll protect me with his life.
Sekai “Kai” Walker

The kind that still haunts me from when I was four and left to rot in trap houses. I gave her my last name temporarily to protect her. Not for her money. Not for her legacy. Not even for her beauty, but because she was all alone, and no one should feel that kind of fear with no one to save them. Not if I can help it. For Nuri Symone, I’m willing to risk it all. Black bandana over my mouth. Draco in my hand. Vows sealed with an “R” over my heart—our silent promise to protect what’s ours, no matter the cost. Because the only thing that feels real these days… is my fake marriage. Now, I’ll take on the whole da*n city if I have to.

Forever Mine: A Story of Love Becoming Legacy
Book Two in the Love Ballads Series
Forever starts after the vows.
Because the real love story begins after “I do.”
Marriage was the dream. Now comes the living.
After the heartbreak of her past (For the Love of You), Kennedy has finally found the steady, soulful love she once thought impossible. With Langston by her side, their story has become one of healing, hope, and a promise kept.
But when life takes an unexpected turn, the rhythm of their love is disrupted — and Kennedy and Langston are forced into a silence neither of them saw coming.
In that quiet, love becomes a kind of waiting. A holding on. A deep, steady hope that even in the unknown, their hearts still speak the same language.
It’s not a test of grand gestures, but of presence — and the strength to believe that love can carry what words cannot.
Love grows in the everyday — in Sunday check-ins and late-night dances, in family dinners and whispered notes left on the nightstand. Together, they learn that forever isn’t built in the moments everyone sees, but in the quiet choices that turn love into legacy.
As they navigate joy, uncertainty, and the tender reminders of who they used to be, Kennedy discovers that being “forever his” is only part of the story. The deeper truth? Love that becomes legacy begins with being fully herself.
A story of partnership, resilience, and the kind of love that lingers long after the vows — Forever Mine is the next chapter for Kennedy and Langston, and a celebration of what it means to build a life that lasts.

Old wounds resurface, secrets fester, and the clock ticks louder daily.
It turns out that loving someone across an ocean is hard. But being back in the same room, facing everything they’ve been avoiding? That might be even harder.

Two exes. One summer wedding. Zero chance of escaping the heat.
Prepare to laugh, swoon, and fall head over heels with this irresistible standalone romance from Bolu Babalola, the bestselling author of Honey and Spice, a Reese’s Book Club pick.
Twenty-eight-year-old Kiki Banjo hosts the popular podcast The HeartBeat, solving romantic conundrums and dishing out life advice. But behind the mic, career setbacks and a devastating breakup have left her hanging on by a thread. As she’s preparing to be the Maid of Honor in her best friend’s wedding, everything starts to unravel, and Kiki is left wondering if she ever had the answers.
Then Kiki finds herself face-to-face with the Best Man, her ex-boyfriend, Malakai—the smooth-talking, absurdly handsome, annoyingly perceptive man who stole her heart and then shattered it. While Kiki’s approaching rock bottom, Malakai’s been on the rise as a filmmaker, and now they have no choice but to play nice until the wedding is over. Both are hell-bent on ignoring the smoldering chemistry between them, but as they navigate the chaos of wedding plans, career ambitions, and Kiki’s growing fears about the future, they can’t ignore the spark that’s only getting hotter.
They just have to get through the summer. So why does it feel like playing with fire?

The Dating Prohibition: A Novel by Taj McCoy
In this spicy new rom-com, an ambitious entrepreneur working to get her speakeasy supper club off the ground is pushed off balance when her childhood crush turns up, hotter than ever––then tells her she’s off-limits.
Now that Kendra’s returned home, she can’t help feeling like a kid again—back in her big brother’s shadow, trying to get her restaurant off the ground while his new venture is flying high right out the gate. It doesn’t help that everyone refuses to stop calling her Keke, the childhood nickname she loathes.
The only bright spot is her longtime crush BJ. He’s been her big brother’s best friend for most of her life, and he’s always been that cool, chill guy who was easy to talk to and made her laugh. Now he’s looking at her like she’s all grown up, and there’s nothing childish about the chemistry brewing between them. Even better, he takes her dreams seriously, and he’s ready to help her make her supper club a reality.
But then BJ extinguishes the sparks flying between them, insisting nothing romantic can ever happen because she’s “off limits.” As her investors fall through and her best chance at fulfilling her professional dreams points toward leaving home again for a fresh start, will BJ be ready for love before Kendra moves on? Or will he sweep her off her feet when she least expects it?
