Annabelle and Lee by Danielle Allen

My grandparents had a beach house tucked in a cove on the shore, and I spent every summer until college there. Some of my best childhood memories were from my time at Heathrow Beach. Mostly because I was head over heels in love with my neighbor Lee Thompson.
He was adventurous.
He was brave.
He was twelve.
But my eleven-year-old heart knew he’d be the one I’d end up marrying.
Lee was my first kiss, my first love, my first everything.
But the summer before my senior year in high school, Lee never showed up. In fact, I didn’t hear from him again.
Almost twenty years later, I found myself back at Heathrow Beach looking for answers.
And finding more than I bargained for.

** Annabelle and Lee is a contemporary romance inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s poem Annabel Lee **

Trying to navigate and survive in the world alone, Lake’s only goal is to keep her head above water. There’s little to no room for anything else.

When Lake and Isiah’s worlds collide they both feel a pull that can’t be over looked nor denied which forces them to open up in ways neither of them deemed possible, but life has a way of denying happiness to those who are casualties of the worlds that surround them. Sometimes you can’t break the ties that bind you no matter how much your heart longs to be free.

Leave Room for Me by Deshon Dreamz

The system that Poetry Daniels created to handle her interactions with the opposite sex has always worked perfectly for her. She didn’t get involved. That was the seamless method to her madness and it worked well. She trained her mind, body, soul and heart to take men as they came; void of emotion and willing to physically exhaust themselves to please. That worked for her because things never grew complicated. Poetry didn’t do complications.

That was until the bet from Zoe.

That was until Justin Williamson.

Justin has always been a man of action, so from the moment he laid eyes on Poetry Daniels, he knew he had to have her. Justin finds himself torn between the needs of his body and the desires of his heart. In the past, love hadn’t been on Justin’s side and the idea of new love wasn’t a journey he was eager to take.

Both Justin and Poetry battle with their unspoken jaded views on love and commitment. Neither of them desired love, but the physical attraction that raged between them was undeniable and would not fade until it was catered to.

Obstacle.
The bet.
Unwanted obstacle.
Room.
Unforeseen Obstacle.
Love.

Love can be complicated, especially when it blindsides you.

You spent all this year running interference, trying to heal my family and your patients and you broke yourself.” Menton said, staring down into her face, his eyes filled with love. His words resonated because it was true. She felt broken and wasn’t sure how to put herself back together. “Promise me that no matter what happens you’ll focus on you.”

She smiled at him and promised to start at fifty. They had gotten a chuckle out of that before he kissed her and headed to work. The next time she saw him, he was lying on a table, cold to her touch.
