Rather: The Therapist (The Grey List Book 2) by Grey Huffington
I am Rather Childers…
I am one of seven women…
I am one of eight siblings …
I am the daughter of Richie & Rhea…
And, I am wanted by the federal government…
I traded my career and livelihood for a life of leisure in St. Catana that guarantees my freedom and eliminates the chances of extradition. Not only for me but for my family as well. Two years ago, our superior’s freedom was on the line. To secure his rightful place amongst his siblings, a sacrifice had to be made.
I was the sacrifice.
And, in ninety days, I am set to marry a Valentine who hunts, kills, and deals for a living. His head is as hot as it is large. He’s a troublemaker. He’s a liability to his family and mine. My job? Turn him into an asset before the government turns him into bait.
While that job might be simple, due to my extensive background in mental and emotional health, getting down the aisle isn’t. Because he’s not the only man’s mind I’m willing to infiltrate. Past affiliations lead me down a dark, sinister path that emphasizes my betrayal, dishonesty, and disobedience. In the end, I’m left scrambling to make good on the promises my family made. The only issue is that I could easily sacrifice my body. It was my heart that troubled me.
I am a therapist.
I am The Therapist.
And, I am, in fact, a traitor.

Made For Me by Mz. Biggs
“Don’t tell me that you’re different because chances are, you’re the same as all the other men that told me that. Don’t tell me you’ll never hurt me, because more than likely, you’ll hurt me more than anybody else has ever hurt me. Don’t tell me you’ll always be there because we both know you’re going to run at the first sign of trouble.
Instead… Tell me there will be rainy days, but you’ll be there holding me, and we’ll get through them together. There will be days when we won’t agree, but you’re willing to talk things out before running to someone else. Tell me you’ll always be there because you were… MADE FOR ME.”
That was all Khazari “Zari” Collins wanted. A man that she could finally be herself around. One that she could let her guard down around and knew that he would completely accept her flaws and all. A man that would make her feel loved and protected. No matter how hard she tried, she could never find that. She’d lost hope on finding that until she met Nihem. Still reluctant to let him in completely, she started to find herself feeling free around him. But was it enough to make her overlook her past for the chance at the type of love she thought only existed in books and movies?
Seeing the way his father loved his mother, Nihem Sandifer was ready to give someone the world but not just anybody. He wanted the type of woman that knew she was beautiful but didn’t flaunt her beauty for the attention of others. A woman that knew when to be independent but still knew when to lean on him. A woman that would allow him to be the man he was born to be. He knew the moment he laid eyes on Khazari that she was that woman. Seeing her interact with her children confirmed that for him. However, Nihem came with his own secrets that could be the demise of their relationship before it even started. How long would he be able to hide his past from her?
Elite Rodgers was tired of looking for love the normal way. Going out on a limb, she gave the “Dating App” world a try only to hit more dead ends. That was until one swipe RIGHT landed her on the man of her dreams…Jamar. He was everything she wanted a man to be on paper, but was there more to him that met the eye?
Jamar Weathersby thought the best way to get over one love was by getting under a new one. Nowhere near where he thought he should be in life; he was determined to be more than what people expected him to be. His only problem was wanting to bring someone along the journey with him. Getting more than what he bargained for with Elite, he found himself falling for her fast. Would she be enough for him to look past his previous love?
This was not meant to be your ordinary love story, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the wild ride these characters are about to take you on.
