Beautiful Mistake (The Sweet Series) by Monica Walters

Things can be rectified, if only given the chance…

Kai Booker has created a new life for himself and moved on as Nathaniel Rhodes. Besides the constant nagging of the loneliness he feels, he’s safe and his cover is secure. After seventeen years of being under the radar, there’s only one issue… he misses his one true love. Being with one particular woman that reminds him of her only amplifies his desire for her. He’s willing to risk everything just to see her again. However, will seeing her from afar be enough?

Sonya Taylor has been living in the lap of prosperity and passion within her marriage for the past thirteen years with her high school love, Shawn Taylor. Overcoming the tragic loss of her fiancé came at a cost. However, it was Shawn that helped her through it and after five years of running from him, she succumbed to her desires as well as his and married the man she believed was meant to be her life partner. She’s sure in her relationship with him until things take a turn.

Shawn Taylor has been living the best years of his life. Being able to love on the woman he’s loved since the age of fifteen, has been a dream come true. There have been obstacles to overcome and challenges to defeat, but he’s done it by any means necessary and lived a life of triumph. However, his insecurities creep in when someone from the past threatens to tear down everything he’s built with Sonya, which would leave his life in ruins.

Some things are better left in the past, no matter how misconstrued the facts are. Lives have changed and people have matured and moved on. Emotions have been subdued and hurt has been overcome. Revelations contradict what is presumed as truth and threatens to destroy lives, families, and the overall well-being of the individuals involved.

The drama quickly unfolds, and they all have decisions to make… decisions that can crumble everything they’ve built. Will they be able to get past this revelation or will it harden their hearts and consume their souls?

Dad Bod Bestie: Dad Bod – Men Built For Comfort by Ja’Nese Dixon

This isn’t a fairytale. He’s not my dream man and I’m not his curvy princess.

I’m not a damsel waiting for a man to save me.

Yet, that’s how I met Jonathan. I’m used to corporate dudes with portfolios and sickening six-packs. Not a man still finding himself and that covers me like a cozy blanket.

Jon’s not a rich guy trying to wine and dine me.

But he cooks at Southern Soul Raleigh for a living. And for the record, he isn’t my type. Yet I find myself looking forward to the next time I’ll see him again.

Jonathan Montgomery just is.

Big smile.

Bigger heart.

The absolute best laugh.

Bestie material. Someone to kick it with while I explore Raleigh.

No…he’s not that either. He’s something more.

Jon’s the man that has me questioning my decisions. Where I’ll live? What my future looks like? Does it include him?

This. Isn’t. Love.

Can’t. Be.

I need a man with a plan, a savings account, a house. This situation has caution stamped all over it and like a fool, I let him in. And I’m not a betting woman but everything about this man has me wondering…

What if?

After her public breakup and humiliation are broadcasted on TMZ, she heads home to Sweetland Bay to hide. Ahem, regroup.

He wants to explore the intense attraction pulsing between them, but the judge is laser focused on her career…until she isn’t.

Kaiya never imagined she’d date a younger man, but Blaise is too tempting to resist. When she finally opens her heart and takes a chance on love, her destiny collides with Blaise’s past. Will he choose responsibility over love? Or will they both hold on to the love they so passionately desire?

The Right Time by Niomie Roland

He may have broken her heart…

But she can’t deny her attraction to him.

Three years ago, Monica made a dump mistake. She slept with her best friend’s older brother. When he becomes engaged to another woman mere days after their night together, she fleds town without divulging the secret she carried. Keeping her child away from its father may have been wrong but having her child grow up in the shadow of it’s father’s legitimate family would be worse.

Julian could tell by the defiance in her eyes that she’d never planned on telling him about his son. But now that he knows the truth, nothing would get in the way of claiming what’s his. Not his ex wife, not Monica’s aversion to his marriage proposal and definitely not the ill-fated circumstances that forced Monica’s return…

Although this is a stand alone title, Monica and Julian were introduced in Wrong Man Wright Time.
