That sounds cocky, doesn’t it? Sure. But it’s true. I’m also dangerous and the man every woman wants to be with, but I try not to brag.
The thing is, everything changed when I laid eyes on Remedie. She’s the gorgeous chef who doesn’t want to be saved. She’s surviving on selling plates out of her home, but she’s worth so much more than that.
So, what did I do? I hired her as my live-in chef. Now, she’s making more money than she ever has and she’s keeping me fed, both my body and my soul.
What’s the catch? She just wants to keep her head down and to stack her money. She doesn’t want love or a relationship, and I’ve never wanted one more.
What’s my solution? I made her a bet, of course. I bet her she’ll fall in love with me. She says she won’t. I’m pretty sure she already has.
Everyone knows Nico ‘Nightmare’ Graves can take a hit, but Remedie? She’s the first one who could knock me out for good.

Her Client, His Match by T.F. Leonard
He’s the heir to a legacy. She’s the woman who built her own.
When Houston’s most guarded CEO sits across from the city’s most sought-after matchmaker, neither expects the spark to set off a storm.
Noelle Collins built her life on control. From the moment she launched her matchmaking agency, she turned grit and instinct into success, crafting a reputation as the woman who could see love where others missed it. What the city doesn’t know is how much she’s fought to keep her own heart—and her family’s shadows—out of the spotlight.
Ezra Sinclair has lived his entire life in it. The heir to Houston’s most powerful legacy, he was raised under boardroom lights and camera flashes, every move measured, every mistake magnified. He’s carried his family’s empire for years without complaint—until the day his path crossed with Noelle’s.
What begins as business turns into something neither can ignore. A quiet dinner becomes a public debut. Whispers become headlines. And Ezra’s world of legacy and power collides with the secrets Noelle has tried to keep hidden.
He wants more than desire. He wants a place at her table, a seat in the messy, unpolished parts of her life that she’s never shared. She wants more than a headline romance. She wants a man who won’t run when family wars and buried betrayals resurface.
Her Client, His Match is a sweeping, contemporary Black romance about risking reputation for love, fighting for a future that doesn’t fit the mold, and learning that the right match isn’t the one the world approves—it’s the one worth holding onto when everything else is on fire.
A Chance Encounter (This Time Around Book 7) by Danyelle Scroggins
“Faith meets fate in the place she least expected, and sometimes, the road to healing leads you right back where you started.”
Sonya
People keep asking if I’m lonely. Baby, I’ve been married three times. What I need is peace—not another man trying to fix what Jesus already handled. So why did I agree to this so-called “honeymoon” with my newlywed sister? And why, of all places, did we end up in Sugar Land, Texas… where my past just walked through the church doors, fine as ever and full of unfinished business?
Kyrell
I thought I’d buried the hope of ever seeing Sonya Hines again. Life took us in different directions—she chose med school, I chose football—but I never stopped wondering what if. Now she’s back, just as sharp, stubborn, and stunning as I remember. We both carry scars and secrets, but something about this moment feels divine. Maybe a chance encounter is all we ever needed.
A heartwarming story of divine timing, healing, and real love that never truly died—A Chance Encounter reminds us that sometimes, going back is the only way forward.

The Savage And The Beautiful : Bronx’s Story by Reese Laflare

Sevyn’s Hidden Symphony by Brianna Chiane
Sevyn had always believed in devotion. She gave, she loved, she sacrificed. Seven years of her life were spent molding herself into what he needed what he wanted. And in return, he left her with nothing but a hollowed-out heart and the kind of loneliness that clung to her like a second skin.
The rain mirrored her misery, cascading down in relentless sheets as she stood outside, her bags at her feet, her pride shattered beneath the weight of betrayal. Where did she go from here? She had no answers, only the numbing realization that she had wasted years chasing a love that had never truly been hers.
But then again, wasn’t that all she had ever known?
Her whole life, she had sought validation from the people who were supposed to love her first. Aurora, her sister, stood tall in the eyes of their parents, a reflection of the legacy she was meant to uphold. Elegant. Sweet. Loving. Respected. And then there was Sevyn, the afterthought, the one who was never quite enough. She had spent her entire life trying to prove she was worthy, bending over backward for even the smallest acknowledgment, only to be met with indifference. She had fought for their love, only to be given their disregard. It didn’t matter what she did; the outcome was always the same. They had their pride, and she had their rejection.
She should’ve been used to it by now.
Fate, however, had other plans.
She was supposed to disappear, to fade into the nothingness they had reduced her to. Instead, she was found by him. Truth was a man who lived by his own rules, someone who carried the weight of his last name like a warning rather than a privilege. He was built by the shadows, thriving in a world where power was measured in fear and blood. He never cared about the company he kept or got rid of. That was until he met Sevyn, and his entire world was consumed by protecting the one who couldn’t protect herself.
She had spent so long chasing acceptance from people who would never give it. But with Truth, she was about to learn what it felt like to be protected, to be wanted, whether she was ready for it or not.

I Accidentally Hired a Shadow Walker (Accidents Happen) by Jessica Cage
Security breaches? Check. Dimensional chaos? Naturally. Forbidden attraction? Oh, absolutely!
Jericha Brown is used to being the boss. As the fierce, no-nonsense head of her own security firm, she’s just landed the contract of a lifetime—until her lead agent walks out, taking half the team with him. What a jerk!
With her reputation and business on the line, Jericha does the unthinkable: reaches out to a former frenemy for help.
But to Jericha’s surprise, little miss Steal a Dream sold her business—and her contacts—to an infuriatingly smug (and dangerously hot) newcomer named Raymond Statton. Desperate, Jericha hires him as a temporary sub-contractor, only to uncover a secret that flips her world upside down: Raymond is a Shadow Walker, a rare and powerful being who can slip between dimensions.
It’s shocking, sure… but Jericha’s got her own magical skeletons in the closet, and when their secrets (and maybe a few clothing items) start flying, things get messy fast. Like, flaming-sword-in-the-office and surprise-demons-on-the-rooftop kind of messy.
Witty, wild, and a little bit wicked—this is what happens when enemies-to-lovers meets magical workplace comedy and nobody reads the HR manual.
Royal Pain by Marina Hill

They don’t notice her record-breaking impact on environmental protection or her humanitarian work. As she continues working at her botanical garden in hopes that she might be properly recognized, her biggest threat walks through the door. Sure, he’s devilishly handsome and underneath their bickering is phenomenal sex, but he could ruin her beyond repair. His tech billionaire status doesn’t impress her; it’s the reason she tries to resist him.
TRISTAN
Tristan has everything he could ever want—luxury, women, status—except for one thing: access to his inheritance. Much to his dismay, his grandfather’s terms include three hundred hours of community service. Quick work at a botanical garden turns into a chase for the world’s most infuriating woman, one who challenges everything he thought he knew. When their enemies-with-benefits affair turns serious, he struggles to tell her the truth: that it’s all for money.
